Confirmed for never having driven a modern automatic.

With any shift time below 100ms (which is laughably slow for a modern automatic btw) it'll spend plenty of time powering the wheels.

Don't know if it's just the color, but it seems boring.
Probably because Lexus already took this LFA structure and put it in the IS/GS. IMO the LC has the second best looking exterior of the last 3 years or so, behind the AMG GT.
It looks too good outside to be this boring inside.

>sub 500 hp and less torque
Watch it get stomped by a GT350 and 1LE while being less fun to drive lel

This luxury grand tourer is not even in the same segment that those pieces of plastic that will not last more than 3 years.

>wanting a v8 in a cowboy hat mustang over a v8 samaurai ninja

Americans.

>wanting a 3 tonne $120k Braun shaver predator mutant

>his over exposure to shitty pop culture has him believe this elegant ninja car looks anything like whatever pic he posted

>elegant ninja car
5 o'clock free crack giveaway is today, isn't it?

Wait, so are these successors to the LFA?

No, modern SC equivalent.
Goes up against 6 series and maybe SL.

Who do you think you are fooling with your cheap bait?

Tbh that second picture looks much better than the first one. The first pic makes it look terrible

>shit build quality
>clear photographic evidence
>hurr durr it's bait it's bait
DAMAGE CONTROL INTENSIFIES

>It's the picture's fault, it's the picture's fault!
DAMAGE CONTROL REACHES CRITICAL LEVELS

Put more effort in your shitposting, so you get more (you's) next time. Instead of replying to yourself like

>It's gotta be a samefag it's gotta be a samefag!!!
DAMAGE CONTROL MEASURES EXHAUSTED
CRITICAL IMPLOSION IMMINENT

The shitposting in this thread is a testament to Lexus doing something right.

People don't shitpost about cars nobody cares about.

Nice non-closed door, idiot.

>this is my final path of logic, i can bullshit no further
CRITICAL IMPLOSION COMPLETE
SHILLS CONFIRMED BTFO
WILL THEY EVER RECOVER??

Is that to the crank or the wheels? If to the wheels it'll be alright if its to the crank its gonna be a laughing stock.

Why is the hybrid more expensive with less power than the V8?

Why does the hybrid have 2 electric motors? Can someone explain Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive to me please?

Do you think Lexus will make an F version? I would love an F version how about you?

Because saving the environment isn't just for poorfags.

Great, another can that no one on Veeky Forums can afford.

They go at the wheels, turd.

Wow, that is stunning. What do you think Lexus next move will be?
>V10 into F series

>350hp
>$100k
American "luxury"

Did you take your pills today, Adolf?

Prices Anounsed brother this is pertinent information my friend. The prices are my oats, brother.

Not a samefag.

It looks much better in person

Lexus hasn't done a manual in years now

Nope, just a bump above the RCF, in its own class of odd in the company.

Yeah

The other door looks like that too. Just shut the fuck up.

What about this center console bitch nigga? Get fucking rekt

>glovebox partially open on a preproduction car

OH NO

Haha why are you so angry? Some people like it, why does it hurt your plump asshole so much?

I mean if you want your stitching on your 90k pseudo ultra luxury gt to look like a shoddy tvr be my guest

Kek
>"Lexus representatives" btfo

oh hey look its the rc-f we actually wanted
that isnt a cobbled together fucking mess

>$100,000
>for a car

At that price, it had better come with unlimited free lifetime roadside blowjobs.

Your retard is showing user.
100ms is not slow for any gearbox.
Drag cars have a 100ms shift time.
The fastest transmisions (dual-clutch) have a shift time of 80ms.

For comparison the average person takes somewhere between 500ms and 1 second to change gears.
Veeky Forumstists should have lower times than that.

>500ms and 1 second
Really? Maybe if you're a grandma

>this meme again

The average person shifts that slow user. For comparison manual race gearboxes have a shift time of about 250ms.
Don't go bullshiting how you totally change faster in your Civic.

I don't know what sources you use but several sites say that VW,Audi and Bugatti DSG have a shift time of 8 ms, not 80 ms.

>Audi A5
>a cobbled together mess of A4/Passat

RC is in good company.

Lol its pigfat, nearly 4000 pounds. Slowest of the bunch (M3/4, C63, etc...).
~65k new barebones

>Lexus LC500
>4280lb and 4435lb for the hyrid version
>92/97k barebone

If you ask me, I would NOT buy a silly LC500 when you have the RC F and GS F available.
>But it looks good inside!
Get the LS instead. Besides, the fucking LC500 has FOUR SEATS when it could've and should've been a roadster with a v8 engine.

Of course they'll do a "roadster" LC. And all of 10 people will buy it a year. And those 10 people wont care how much it weighs while driving it and their mistress around Calabasas.

I mean I guess, but when they're driving around in the LC, they will feel like a pleb when a S-Coupe rolls up.

Why?

They're not going to redlight drag them because these drivers are not children. Plus it'll be the Mercedes driver feeling like a pleb waiting at the shop while the Lexus operates without a hitch for 100k miles before needing any service.

Because Lexus is the cheapest shit and lowest class of car rich people can buy. Lexus only exists for pseudo-rich plebs to pretend.

>Lexus operates without a hitch for 100k miles before needing any service.
I'm so glad I don't have to be deluded to justify my choices.
