It sounds delicious.
The Lexus LC 500 Convertible is one of the most distinctive cars in a group. It’s undoubtedly one of the most beautiful drop-tops on the market, even with the roof down. It’s a powerful 5.0-liter V8 that makes 471 horsepower (351kW) and it results in a convertible that is as beautiful as it looks.
This video is a case-in-point AutoTopNL The following are the featured images: LC It can be seen with the roof up, while it runs its V8 on freeways in Germany. This clip doesn’t emphasize speed, however. The clip opens with the camera positioned behind LC 500, where you can hear the engine’s raspy, poppy sound. The Lexus V8 loves revs and redlines at 7,000 RPM. Designers of the LC 500 are aware that sound can enhance the driving experience. The LC 500 has a pipe that transmits some of the sound back into the cabin without any noxious gases.
This short, but sweet video doesn’t miss the engine sound. After a series static throttle blips the action switches between outside flybys and in-car speedometer photos. All of these shots feature a prominent 5.0-liter soundtrack. Although it’s not a fast car, the convertible weighs in at a whopping 4,540 pounds (2.059 kilograms). 60 mph is reached in 4.5 seconds. The official top speed is 168 mph. Although the speedo of the LC 500 is 281 km/h (175 mph) in this video, GPS data shows a speedo of 269 km/h (167 mph).
The LC 500 Convertible’s base price is just over $100,000. However, it’s not cheap. There are better cars for the same money. We can’t imagine a petrolhead not falling for the V8 music so turn up your speakers and enjoy the ride.
