Lexus LC500 H sport plus

2017 Lexus LC500h Sport+ |

Just Over 30,000 Miles | Carbon Roof | HUD Some cars are bought with your head. Others are bought with your heart. The Lexus LC500h is one of the very few modern cars that somehow manages to appeal to both. Finished in Obsidian Black with a beautiful Dark Rose red leather and Alcantara interior, this is one of the most striking cars we’ve had through our hands.

The styling is outrageous in all the right ways – low, wide and elegant from every angle. Even parked up, it looks like a concept car that accidentally made it into production. This is the range-topping Sport+ model, featuring the desirable carbon fibre roof, carbon fibre sill trims, heads-up display, electrically adjustable heated seats, premium infotainment, reversing camera, adaptive cruise control, keyless entry and start, LED lighting and the full suite of Lexus safety technology.

The cabin is a special place to spend time. The quality of materials is exceptional, the switchgear feels engineered rather than assembled, and the red leather and Alcantara combination gives it a sense of occasion every time you open the door.

Underneath the dramatic bodywork sits Lexus’s sophisticated 3.5-litre V6 hybrid powertrain, delivering effortless performance with remarkable refinement. It glides through traffic in near silence yet still has enough performance to make every journey enjoyable. What really separates the LC500h from its German rivals is the feeling it gives you. It isn’t trying to be another AMG, M-Car or RS model. It’s something altogether different.

It’s comfortable, beautifully built, reliable and genuinely special. Road testers loved it when new. Many praised its concept-car styling, exceptional build quality and ability to make every journey feel like an event. More than one reviewer described it as one of the most beautiful cars on sale, and looking at it today, it’s hard to argue.

With just over 30,000 miles, this LC500h Sport+ presents beautifully throughout and drives exactly as a flagship Lexus should. If you’re looking for something a little different from the usual German coupe, something that still turns heads years after it left the showroom, this may well be one of the best-looking and most interesting grand tourers on the road today.

A rare car. A special car. And one we’re fairly certain you’ll find yourself taking the long way home in.
