the presence of this car is so much more noticeable in person. I saw one in white/silver and my neck hasn't recovered since
looks beautiful
Your bmw is nice to man
@@noodletitan9086 thank you so much 😊!! It’s truly my only passion
@@VinceFung it’s the love for the cars, and how you got there to
Saw this in a parking lot last month. Amazing looking car. I had to do a complete walk around several times. One of the best looking cars I've ever seen in person.
That engine note sounds incredible!
Klasse Act it’s one of the best sounding cars on sale easily.
Albert S. I see you every where lol.
Nice Profile pic btw
Easily the best sounding stock engine since the 354 hp S5 V8 of the 2000s.
Well it's from the same guys that already built the LFA. The probably best sounding car in the world.
Does anyone know if this car produced fake engine noises through the speakers?
Lexus has created a masterpiece!
Wow 5.0 n/a engine is a rare thing to have in a car nowdays (maybe not in american cars). Really interesting car. They really went all in this time
Such a pretty car
Nick Murray Oh hello there.
Agree! Love the car!
Nick Murray Nick, I hate to disappoint, but I think I’m going to skip the Carrera S in favor of the LC.
I bit your going to break it.
I feel this is one of the rare times when an automotive manufacturer puts a prototype car into production, similar to the the BMW i8, Fisker Karma, Plymouth Prowler, and just a few others. However, while all the other cars mentioned were simply impractical, with a high emphasis on form over function, this car couldn't be any further from that trend. Somehow, the masterminds over at Lexus have engineered a masterpiece : a concept car for the road that is practical to use, ridiculously reliable, and priced reasonably for the market. If I had to pick one car to buy new, it would hands down be the LC 500
If you can afford this get the tan interior. It's incredible
black fish or red
These cars in person are beautiful.
Very nice, its a conecpt car that made it to production and still has a NA 5.0 V8 :)

Saw one in all black the other day. Was a beauty.
archinuk417 definitely i just saw 2 of them at the lexus dealer and man looking at the at them person and this video is totally 2 different experiences
+archinuk417 stunning in person. Looks like a concept car, not a production car. So beautiful.
YES THEY ARE!!! I saw one in person for the first time and was floored! The pics/videos don't do it justice until you see it for real.
Lexus' spindle grill design is looking better and better with each passing model! First this, now the new LS! Lexus is on a roll!
If you like cow catchers on 19th century locomotives... That grill on Lexus SUVs looks absolutely terrible.
Kelley9 it looks better on their sedans and small suv’s. Anything bigger than an rx looks bad
I’ve had mine for 9 months now. I’ve tracked it and can confirm it’s a good drivers car (and I’ve raced bikes my entire life so I have high expectations 😉) More importantly, it puts a smile on my face every time I press that start button - and if that’s not the sign of a good “drivers car” I don’t know what is.
Got an ig account?
This is the best looking coupe so far.
EDDY SENG yup easy. When you tint the wheels and add nice wheels. Stunning
Looks nice but an E46 m3 still looks better than this any day.
EDDY SENG
I think you're forgetting a certain Jag F-type and a AM db11....
@@SuperbMoves Ass ugly german car
A high level and reliable machine
Best looking coupe on the market no doubt and with Lexus quality and reliability
It looks amazing and really high-quality. The reliability will save you a lot of money down the road.
Great GT looks, naturally aspirated V-8, and Lexus reliability.... everything in one package
Hey Matt I actually work for Lexus and I have driven the LC 500 multiple times and I have to say it's simply amazing and feels like its a baby LFA.
Michael Hollon I sure hope you have driven an lfa to make that statement. Nothing baby about an extra 1,300lbs
I assume he clearly means the engine size, horsepower numbers, and benchmark times not its weight which the LFA obviously beats by a massive margin..
Michael Hollon You don't find this car as an disappointment regarding performance?
Yeah, and it finished dead last in the last Motor trend 100K car drag race....
Albert S. Man not even 80k if you're talking performance if it wasn't labeled a "sport" yea but this car's performance is the same as 35k-50k cars
This is the prettiest thing Lexus has made since the SC400. LOVE this car. Beautiful, beautiful lines and styling!!!! Bravo Lexus! That V8, and what looks like a smooth, sporty ride make my mouth water. I gotta get one.
They're so beautiful in person seriously Las week I was at a club in LA there was a few Ferraris parked outside and then there was this , no one was paying attention to the Ferraris they all had their eyes on this beautiful Lexus
Fantastic review again! 👌 Been waiting for a review as great as this 'cause i believe the LC 500 is a fabulous coupe. And you just did it. You rated it 10/10 and i believe you Matt! 👍👍👍 Great job!
That was an awesome video, Matt!
The sound of that thing is just incredible!
Your reviewer joy and enjoyment really came through, as usual!
Thank you!
The sound is glorious!
such a beautiful car, unfortunately lexus wont depreciate as fast as i wish :(
Forrest's Auto Reviews most people want them to depreciate so they CAN afford them.
I saw an 08 ISF on autotrader a couple months ago with 265k on it and they still wanted 16k :/
krezo cars aren’t meant to be garaged there meant to be driven.
Lukas if it was for 10K I would take it in a heartbeat you can always rebuild the 1UR
Ya, sucks to have a reliable car, that won't leave you broke. Seriously, you pay extra for a Lexus but it saves you so much in the long run in repair costs. Germans should take a page from Japan.
One of the best reviews ever! Keep up the great work Matt.
This is one of the motivation to get rich. I want that LC 500 😍
stay in school, then ... LOL
I was just thinking about this the other day.
Don’t do drugs and don’t knock up anyone until you’re married! ✌️
Great review! I usually hate CZcamsrs reviews because they only talk about specs and just copies from others, but this lad reviews a car very thoroughly in many different perspectives . Definitely a channel to subscribe!
This car is visually stunning. A true work of art.
so awesome to see how far your channel has grown. love the videos as always great car reviewer!!! but that mustang you have....... kidding lol
11:43 is what you came here for
AcousticKarl the Subaru
Amen to that!
Matt makes every car he test drives fun, makes my day watching his vids
Saw one in person today. Best looking car in person so far.
Subaruwrxfan: 11:44
Jack / I was looking for that part 😂
Wasn’t this his username?
You can tell where the acceleration is because the ad is right before it
Fantastic car! Saw my first one on the road in the UK here this week. Love the looks....the interior.....and THAT sound! A Mustang-in-a-tux :)
Wowsers. Sounds amazing!
Your reactions are awesome!
Ive seen it in person, from concept am so happy lexus made this, talk about making a 2 door coupe, i just send hours just looking at it
I just saw this in person at the San Antonio auto show and it was one of my favorites.
Just imagine a full on LC F 😍
Donovan Imagine if they put the V10 in it 😱
Donovan LCF name has been trade marked by lexus and a very reliable Japanese magazine says its coming :)
if it sounds like LFA
Donovan lets keep are hopes up.
It's gonna have a twin turbo producing 600hp or more.
Not the fastest car despite the price tag, but dangit does it look really nice and still having a NA v8 is just awesome.
BigHeadClan LCF
Josef Griveas Which isn't even out yet and we really don't know much about
My point was there was cars just as fast for much cheaper, nothing really stands out as crazy about the lc500. Great overall package but for The money I'd grab a 911 or f-type etc.
This is a luxury grand tourer, not a performance car like an M5.
+little123456788 - True but entry level luxury cars like the 440i, Q60, S4 all offer about the same performance, are mainly GT cars and cost about $50-60K less than this.
I don't think a V8 engine and a stepped up interior is worth that cost difference.
Hell I'd pocket 20-30K and snag a RC F over something like thee LC 500, same motor slightly worse interior and bit rougher ride.
Beautiful, great interior, great engine (that sound & upshift!) and all with Lexus quality & reliability & safety. Best car on the market!
my favorite youtuber/ car reviewer right here...the one...the only....Matt ...The Giggler.Maran
16:20 what Lexus drivers are like before they crash
What an AWESOME whip!!! I came across one at an off-lease dealership for $78,000 with 640 miles on it (maybe a demo)! I'm really damn tempted to go for it!!! Great job Matt.
OMG that exhaust!
Nice video. I just drove this car at a Press day, editing the video now. It’s a gorgeous car
Just Gorgeous!! Man, and that engine!!
I have never seen anyone so excited about a car like the host🚙
I saw this car at a dealership and i was 𝑨𝒎𝒂𝒛ed of how good it looked. Its like they didn’t charge anything from the concept version lol..
Its amazing in person
U think a convertable version will be released soon??
I like the camera angle from the passenger seat, it gives a good look into the cabin
Only Lexus could create such a stunning car. Just WoW 😮
Dream car. 😍
Thank you Matt for being honest ! This is a GT car and a wonderful V8
THE LEXUS LC 500 IS PERFORMANCE, LUXURY, POWER, BEAUTY, SPEED, AND SEXINESS... BEST THING IN THE WORLD FOR 100K... HANDS DOWN... IT'S AWESOME!!!
You seem like a Lexus fan. Always positive about the ride.
Can You hold gears in this car for as long as you want? Or does it upshift/downshift for you all the time in every setting?
I'm seriously going to have to go and test drive one of these someday. Thanks for the fun and enthusiastic review!
Saw this car the other day. Imediatly knew it was something special. Was late to my next drop (deliver shopping), just to find out how much I couldn't afford it. Turned out it wasn't as bad as I thought.
Omg looking at this car I wish I could be reborn just so I can everything different lol I'll go to the dealership and get this car thanks Matt for the review
The dashboard seems too high. I'm 5'4", will I be able to see the road driving this? Do you think the visibility is lessened for short people?
Hey mat comparing the lc 500 to the jaguar f type r which 1 would u get?
LC 500 is so beautiful such a future car 😎
Hey Matt, is there anyway to add Android Auto & Apple CarPlay into the LC500 infotainment?
wow i am early this time!
i actually got to test drive one of these earlier this year, twice. great car, incredible interior, beautiful exterior (minus the wheels). the only thing i can wish for is maybe a little bit more power and like he said, it's a gt car not a sports car.
How does this compare to the f type r? What one would you rather have as a daily driver?
I saw one of these in Hollywood. It’s beautiful in person.
Lexus invited me to drive it, it was cool, thanks Lexus!
beautiful car!
Does this one have the rear wheel steering option? May somewhat explain the weight/handling relationship.
Matt how tall are you in centemeters ?
Well Done Lexus
Looks like a million bucks
Sounds like a million bucks
Drives like a million bucks
Costs $100k. Now that's what I call VALUE!
Was watching some DB11 videos today and can't help thinking LC500 is a DB11 rival for half the price. What's not to like about that!
Leuff uhhh... How sway. The db11 destroys the lc500 on every category.
Not if you factor 100%+ price difference. Big, fast, beautiful GT with a great engine. If you squint real hard they aren't that different (and DB11 just got a V8 version as well)
132 Hp is a HUGE difference and the it weighs more. The lexus has the quality of the db11 interior but much more practicality in the sees that the db11 is more of a Met gala or fancy dinner car, while the lexus won't make your wallet feel guilty if something happens to it
Once you factor depreciation and maintenance it’s about 1/3 the cost of a DB11.
Matt Doyle Be honest. If you had money to afford both, you'd be mad not to opt for the DB11. Aston is attempting to copy tesla maintenance method. They cover maintenance for a set amount of years. They'll pick up your car for service and leave you a loaner car and you never leave your driveway. That's customer service right there.For their Prefered Customers/New model aston owners
Watching this guy making me really wanna buy this car...
Thinking about buying one in all black such a classy and beautiful car
Matt is that the same motor in RCF ?
Future classic right here.
I agree!
This car is a masterpiece.
What a perfect car. Bravo lexus!
bright darker red color, nice
Lexus IS the king!
Said really as many times as he has subscribers. Still love all your reviews!
The weird Lexus grill actually works here. Beautiful car. Too bad there's no cabrio yet.
It looks like what Lexus was trying accomplish is make a Grand Tourer, but much more fun and exciting to look at/use than a 6-series coupe, for example. Make it sexier, sound better, more fun to be around. Mission accomplished!
I have had the pleasure of sitting behind the wheel of this car and it was mental, in a good way. I would absolutely buy this car, in that exact color and would never sell it, ever, is that good
You know where they got the new camry looks. This is just more special.
Art on wheels.
Same weight and very similar power to a challenger scat pack or srt. How does it compare ????
I watch your reviews because I am also 5'9" like you, but I am a bigger guy, even when I was in the Marine Corp at 183. I have found that for me most all Japaneses made sport car the seats are not wide enough for me and the passenger seat in the 2015 to 17 Mustang is to tight for me. I enjoy all of your reviews!
To see how it does, that part is the best of this guy haha
13:24 Matt, actually it did not skip gears between 5th to 3rd, what happened is that u did it accidentally whats called a 'doubleclick' and by doing 'doubleclicks', that the gears went down faster :)
... i learned that trick from my old honda accord paddle shifters lol :)
..great review glad 2 c u driving the new lexus lc 500! chris
This car is pretty sexy esp with its broader curve at the rear just like the Aston Martin and Maserati. It's really really awesome. That's the shape of a superhypercars should be. Tq bro.
The 2018 Lexus LS500 & LC500 will be my wife and I next cars. Beautiful.
lol this thing! :) .... its a lexus lc 500 !!! loved ur review great car was thinking of getting me one in the future with 3 Bitcoins!
Yup....that is a beautiful machine!!
Matt looks so much more excited in this video rather than that nissan suv "sport" cvt POS :D
Bart Mlotkowski that review was painful to watch. Not bc of Matt but bc of the car hahaha
What’s the link to the video where all the car reviewers get together
This or the F-Type R exhaust?
Dream car
Intro song name?
