Lexus LC500 Convertible On Genting – Can this Gentleman’s Sports Car Perform? -YS Khong Driving

With a 5.0 litre V8 Naturally aspirated engine, 470 horsepower and 540Nm of torque, this Convertible version of the LC500 weighs in at 2,055 kg, but it is not a slowcoach. We get power to the rear wheels, and shod on 21-inch wheels, the 10-speed Automatic Transmission helps to keep it on the boil – of course we had to take it up our favorite mountain road to give it a proper shakedown.
The Multi-link front and rear suspension, huge brakes and rotors help to improve the agility and stopping power, and you get a true sports car feel whether you cruise with it or drive it hard.

The LC500 Convertible also comes fully packed with Lexus Safety System, that includes PCS, LKA, BSM, RCTA and DRCC. We also get to see Active Anti-roll bars fitted as standard.

As an added bonus, we also have Jennifer (those of you who have watched our RCZ video will remember) along for the ride as well.
