2024 Lexus LC500: Start Up, Test Drive, Walkaround, POV and Review

- 👋. In todays review we check out the 2024 Lexus LC500! This is the pinnacle (affordable) sportscar from Lexus if you don't include the Lexus LFA! The LC500 has a naturally aspirated V8 that sounds very good for this car! This is a very unique sportscar with it's distinctive exterior styling to really set it apart! The Lexus LC500 is a vehicle that I certainly don't see that often, it's not quiet as popular for it's price tag as some exotic vehicles. But one thing you will get with the Lexus LC500 is reliability!
The Lexus LC500 is pretty simple as far as the technology goes, but it's a very performance oriented sportscar that is one that can be daily driven as well!
The 2024 Lexus LC500 might be the last model year with this powerplant, so this could be a sportscar that goes up in value as companies are going away from the naturally aspirated engines.
The 2024 Lexus LC500 has very nice materials on the interior, but it's not any different or special compared to the rest of the Lexus lineup. Which is good and bad. For the exterior looks, the interior doesn't match, meaning it's pulled from the lowest cost Lexus models, so a lot of shared parts. That means the Lexus LC500 can cost less, but it would be nice to see more special features aside from the paddle shifters which is different. Not to hate on this car, because it was a blast to drive!
The power is great, it's a smooth driving car, quiet and a car you can drive everyday! It has plenty of space for everyday items and would be a great addition for any car enthusiast! This is the baby Lexus LFA since those cost significantly more!

V8+reliable+beautiful design=Lexus got this right
Yeah this car has a lot to offer!
Don’t forget about the sound
This is the most underrated cars around that price range
For sure! I really enjoyed driving this!
How? Other than it's design and reliability it has nothing on the competition. Design is priority in this class for sure, but you need more than reliability to back that up. What's underrated about it?
An exhaust and mild tune and this car is a rocket ship ! Luxury, style and performance
@@MercOne NA V8 in 2024 is commendable
@@patrickbateman529Yes and no. Lexus is just behind in engines like they are with new vehicles on the RWD side of the house.
I just got mine a few months ago. Nightfall mica (blackberry blue) + toasted caramel interior (tan).
I love this car. It’s a masterpiece, a work of art. And so fun to drive.
Nice! This was super cool to check out! Great car, have fun with it!
Own one in infrared with the performance package, One of the best GT (not a sports car) cars I have owned to date.
This car is modern day collectable, and it will have so much value, love and respect from 10 to 15 years in future that it will stand out than all the EVs on the road, bcz design is timeless, and sound of v8 is pure enjoyment, it will outshines than any other EVs on the road
Only time will tell, but I would agree!
Remember that you can get old and die before something becomes collectible… you’re wiser to invest in the S&P 500!
@@edmundcharles5278 you can't drive an index fund!
@@cvo223You'll drive 10 cars in 10 years with 100k on the S&P500
My buddy picked this exact same spec LC500 except blue interior last summer. He drove from VA to Atlanta to pick it up
Sweet! That sounds like a fun trip!
One of the last real vehicles they make
Definitely a cool car!
Absolutely gem of a car 🔥
I would agree!
That engine startup sounds great.
Oh yeah! Gotta love a V8!
God I wish I had this car
This is a great car. I have a 21 convertible. Love it. I never feel that this car is not fast enough or sporty enough. The engine and transmission work very well together. I also have a Porsche Cayman GTS. Drive this car way more.
Glad you enjoy it!
The wheel design and grill are gorgeous. ☮️👍
I think so too!
Absolutely gorgeous car
For sure!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed how is it like driving compared with RCF and IS500?
A friend of mine just came by in a 2018 black one. What a work of art that is.
Oh cool! Such a nice car!
You only need two cars to make your garage the perfect garage. LFA and LC500
That would be cool!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed yes. My philosophy of these cars is a bit different. If you're paying a hefty sum like a 100K which is not a lot considering the cost of other cars in the segment but is a large sum indeed for any human being, you should be provided with luxury, beauty, quality and reliability. And, most of all FUN, which the LC500 does perfectly.
@@piyushpatnaik1291 There’s other great options, so just depends on what the buyer wants, enjoy it!
This is a GT car. It's a sporty touring car.
For sure! Cool car to check out!
Good review bro & I be happy to buy this car.
Glad you liked it!
I love Audi/VW’s and manual transmission’s…..which is why I do not understand why I love these so much. $100k for me is Lotus Emira or 911 all day, but I’d seriously consider this too.
This car has no right to be this sexy... Need this in my forever garage... Please please please drop a manual version before it's discontinued forever actually nevermind. That certain will never depreciate and id like mine used😂
A manual would be cool to see! But keep working towards it and you'll make it happen!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed this is the way
nice and honest review 👏👏👏👏.
as a person who knows this car very well , the sport and sport+ selections in the car changes effectively and clearly the suspensions (get harder) and steering feel and even the exhaust note . Of course one should drive it everyday to feel it but it definitely feels different in those modes.
Oh yeah I bet! Definitely a great car and would be fun to get some real seat time in one over a few weeks. Fun car!
I saw one of these tonite in Candy Red. It looks like a Corvette from the side.
Great color for these!
My dream car.
Keep working towards it!
V8! Says it all! The reason why the engine sounds so smooth, not a rumbling sound, is Yamaha put a resonator in the engine bay making an opulent sound like a musical orchestra
Yeah it's pretty sweet to hear this engine!
can you do a Lexus RC-F video? this Lc500 is absolutely gorgeous
We have a few on our channel. Have done a few IS500's as well
Was about to request this review lol!
haha nice! Fun car to check out!
Bruh i was so hyped and loved it until the backseat part
Yeah this is more of a 2+2. Not really a car for functional back seats. A BMW M4 would be more ideal to use the back seats
This is almost making me second guess my m4 comp purchase .. what a beautiful car. Is "ultra white" the same as frozen white. Like a matte kinda look
Personally I love the M4 Comp! This is definitely a different type of car but still offers so much fun factor! Can always test drive the LC and see if it could be a potential replacement for you down the road.
I test drove and love the M4, but I still chose the LC.
It’s only the most reliable, highest quality, best riding 2 door V8 coupe money can buy,,, period 🚪
Yeah this has a lot going for it!
The Mercedes S class used to wear that crown until Mercedes discontinued their coupe model a few years ago- big mistake!
@@edmundcharles5278 meh,,, looks good, but won’t start on Monday ☝️
pissed me off they waited til 2024 to put in the birdseye camera while using 2017 birdseye view technology. the exhaust valves open up when you step on it.
Yeah Lexus takes awhile to update in general!
Good sharing
Thanks for checking out the video!
Would you take this over a C8?
Hmm, toss up honestly! I'd pick the new Z06 over both. But a normal C8 vs the LC... I'm not sure what I'd go for. Maybe the LC just because I don't see many. I see Corvettes left and right so they don't feel that special. But they handle a bit better for raw driving. Tough one!
I’m tryna decide over this or a gtr r35
Tough one! The GTR will offer more drama and power. But this has a more refined interior with a classic V8. Depends if you want more performance or more refinement. Both are fun!
That’s a tough choice. If I could take the LC 500 interior and place it into the Mercedes Benz AMG body- that would be a real winner! The CLE is exquisite, powerful and spacious!
Completely different characters. Can't go wrong with either one but if you're gonna be taking a passenger or wife then this is better. The gtr will knock your fillings out
The LC500 is the best choice imo.
It's a piece of art, great engine, absolute stunning interior and quality and will very sure climb in value the next years.
If I had the money for a second car, I'd totally buy the LC500
@@karlin_oriley I ended up with a gtr
1:35
is that condensation inside the headlight housing ? or thats how the design is ?
Just a little bit of morning dew on the car. It's a wet day as you can tell by the rain on the ground
@@BrosFOURRSpeedroger, thanks
While I love the external appearance of this car, the more I look at and investigate the Mercedes coupe & convertible classes- the less impressed I am with the LC 500. Lexus needs to ‘up its game’ for 2025 and this does not mean a hybrid model- which the LC 500 already has and which is a sheer failure.
More storage is needed! Four wheel drive would be nice also. Better low end acceleration is needed too !! Changeable interior color trim lighting is also needed. One thing the LC 500 excels is its beautiful and well executed interior design and materials.
I'd leave all of those things for a stick shift. Priorities 😂
What LC500 has a hybrid model? This is strictly an NA V8, no hybrid available...
But a lot of people like the simplicity. I couldn't own a Mercedes because of how complicated they are. Too much going on.
A manual would be cool!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed theres actually an LC 500h (hybrid) but it's a v6 and the take rate is very low
@@JamaicanMeCrazy you have a link to show one? Never seen one.
We are at 7300-7600 redline. Only the LFA touches 9K. Thanks for not rev bombing it before the engine warmed up lol
The car was fully warmed up, always rev it last once the cars been driven and warmed up, but yea I misspoke on that..
@@BrosFOURRSpeed sorry man starting at 5:50 the red line is sitting at around 5500 after the exhaust clip is why I brought that up, and not passed the 7k mark like at 13:53. RCF, GSF, and IS500 are the same for their warm up cycles. Great review on the LC.
@@2URLex that’s why editing is nice! This video wasn’t filmed in that order, exhaust revs are done last and then placed into the video where it makes sense!
But yeah, I mentioned the revs limiter by accident and not the true red line.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Gotcha, clarification is appreciated!
Make this AWD and it becomes legendary!
Would be cool!
Love the convertible version
I like the coupe lol!
Hate it. The 2019 was so much nicer i dont like wat they did wit the headlights and the shape. Also the interior downgraded am i wrong
I like it! I don’t see any downgrades for this. Very nice!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed u know what im retarded the headlights r the same thing basically 😂😂 but interior is sooo corny now look at the 2019 its so much more luxurious and they made the car more boxy better body lines on the 19
Grand Tour not a sports car. I have one / love it - but it ain’t agile 😊
Yeah great GT car
The Mercedes AMG 55 is $30k more expensive, BUT it is 100% more vehicle too! Another thing, while I can custom order a Mercedes AMG I CANNOT custom order a Lexus LC500!!!! I have spoken writhing two Lexus dealers and they both inform me that Lexus dealers get what LC 500 that are shipped to them, even Bespoke versions are not guaranteed!!!!! This is stupid crazy to pay over $100K for a vehicle I which the client must make compromises!!
Sorry for $100 k this vehicle is not special enough!
If this model does not change in 2025, I might just buy the Mercedes AMG 55!
N/A engines were nothing special back in the day, in fact, everyone wanted a turbo because these offered efficient low end performance; spinning rear wheels is an indication of excessive torque not mechanical performance!
And you spend another $50k in the maintenance of AMG GT. I have been there, nothing but a headache.

Thanks for checking out this review!
Umm...the front seats automatically move forward when you use the lever on the rear of the seats. And they will stop moving backwards when they detect an obstruction.
But, yeah, there's no rear leg room.
Umm, no they don’t, you can clearly see in the video the seat didn’t move automatically..
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Maybe that's something that can be enabled/disabled because I have one and can assure you that they move automatically.
Mystery solved: You can hear the seat beeping as you were moving it. It's not supposed to do that as it indicates the seat memory needs to be reset. If you had tried to set the memory, you would have noticed it didn't work either. Once reset, it would have moved by itself.
Coincidentally, we had this problem with the seat memory on our LS when we first got it. The dealer reset it and it now works properly.
Without me watching again, did this car have rear wheel steering?
No!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed I just went by Hendrick Lexus north. No new ones in stock. I wouldn’t want the 4ws.
@@davidhorne2326 yeah they aren’t on the lot hardly ever.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed kind of surprised when I mentioned about ordering one, “we get what we get”! (?)
The only thing I really don't like are the radiation vest seats. The front seats literally look like someone about to get an xray the way the red leather wraps around the headrest
Interesting thought, I don’t see that.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed it might just be because the red contrast against the black, I never noticed it in other LC500 seats
@@anthonymaldonado8018 I think it looks cool. Not sure how they resemble an “xray”.
@BrosFOURRSpeed the seats don't resemble an xray, what I'm saying is like when you go to the dentist or hospital and have to get xrays they put this big bulky lead vest on you. I'm saying the red portion of the seats look like that lead vest (to protect your body from xrays)
@@anthonymaldonado8018 if that’s what you think! I don’t see that, but cool.
Why not just make this a 2 seater, back seat is a waste of space.
yeah they are really for storage
Beautiful, but if only they could make it faster than a Base Mustang GT for more than double the price. Until then, this model lives in obscurity for only eccentric rich grandpas.
Yeah would be cool to have even more power. But this is very well powered and has the fantastic looks, build quality and luxury. So it's a very different car than a GT Mustang targeted to a different buyer
Well that’s why turbos were invented, to give engines immediate power at the low end of the rpm range. A n/an engine needs to get up its rpm’s to drive more air into the engine, a turbo gets around this limitation by forcing compressed air into the engine from the low rpm range!
These n/an engines were normal and not special up through the 1970s!
She-it..😂
Mustang can be bought by a kid living with their parents. That’s not the demographic looking to buy the LC new from dealer…
Could get a Tesla Model S Plaid and then some for that price 🤣
I’d rather have the Lexus.. I’ll never own an EV.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Curious, I would love to hear your thoughts regarding why you wouldn't own an EV.
@@mattjames8683 just not practical for my driving. And they all drive the same. Not much character in an EV
@@BrosFOURRSpeed It cost me $6 to go 340 miles. Once I drove a Tesla S all other cars just seemed dated and obsolete but to each their own I guess.
@@mattjames8683where do you charge it?
The headlights look like it was designed by 5 different people
How so?
@@BrosFOURRSpeed too busy and too many lines going on.
The front vent is too close to the headlight
Redline to about 9000? It clearly shows 7000. 🤷🏻♂️
I’ve already addressed that..
Bro it’s not a sports car
What is it then?
@@BrosFOURRSpeedA gt car
@@odinikita4821 yeah a GT Sportscar
Love the car. Cant stand the vlogger
Why not?
Love the design, but go sit in one.
For such a massive car, it feels like a Miata/Honda S2000 inside. Extremely cramped and tight, especially for a grand tourer.
Fair enough, I didn’t feel that way, felt similar to my Audi R8.
@@Hilighted The back seat is a joke. To me, the front seat has lots of room. And very comfortable. I can drive for hours in that car.
@@James-mt9nf yes the back seat is intended to be a package shelf, but the front seat with it’s wrap around door/dashboard/transmission tunnel lends it a cocoon feel if that’s your thing. Much like the equally stunning BMW 840i where you can hardly spread your elbows or open your legs. Again like the S2000, it has a very snug fit albeit a much much larger and heavier tourer.
@@Hilighted They definitely wrap around you. But I like Lexus seats. They feel pretty good. I had a RC F before this car and the seats were similar. Now, the seats in my Porsche are much tighter. They focus on holding you in place which makes sense.
True- this is not a roomy sedan!
The mustang is junk compared to this lol the Lexus rides better,it's more luxurious,it brakes better,it's way more prestigious,this is a luxury sports car hillbilly boy this is for a TopG like me 😈
Different cars different audiences. This is 50-60k more new vs a mustang mind u while being a total 180 of what people would want out of a mustang vs a lexus. The stang is a easy to get performance car vs the lexus being a luxury cruiser so it makes no sense comparing them when they're both aimed directly for 2 different audiences in 2 different price points. Still would rather a mustang anyway cause it has a manual or a rcf that'd be a faster than this all around even if that's overpriced on its own aswell.
Well yeah. This also costs twice as much
@@BrosFOURRSpeed that's not the point,and the comment wasn't to you,the Lexus is a step above any mustang in more than ways than one... is the point
@@MY-pc2sz who was the comment for? You commented on the video I made, so I’m going to answer it..
@@BrosFOURRSpeed well you and your videos are kind of queer lol have a great day!
