2018 Lexus LC 500 sharply angled sheetmetal and a massively meshed grille hint at a serious performance car, and in that regard, the LC delivers. Heavily enhanced with carbon fiber and high-strength steel, Lexus says the LC has the highest torsional stiffness of any of its models to date. Under the hood beats a 471-hp 5.0-liter V-8, driving the rear wheels through a 10-speed automatic transmission. Steering and brakes are excellent. A hybrid with 354 hp also will be offered. Look for both new LC models in 2018.
