Extensive updates have been introduced for the 2024 version of Lexus’ flagship LC models. Not only do they improve the ambience, comfort and functionality in the passenger compartment, they also enhances the driving experienceand the visual presence of the special edition called ‘Ultimate Edition’ is enhanced.
The ‘Ultimate Edition’ Hakugin White paint features an elegant matte finish and linear texture inspired by traditional Japanese fine porcelain. This inspired by the sports line of Lexus symbolizing the Lexus LFA. This unique effect – finished off by a satin lacquer coating – contrasts with the shiny black details on the bodywork. These details accentuate the image of the LC especially at the front of the vehicle, tinting the radiator grille and trim, the embossing of the headlamps and the lining of the headlight washers or exterior mirrors. Seen from behind, numerous elements decorated in glossy black are appreciated, such as the base of the taillights, the lower trim of the bumper and the exhaust pipe deflector.
For the first time in the world, the front bumper integrates ‘canard’ aerodynamic wings in an incremental way, a common aerodynamic mechanism in aviation and motorsports. This improves the handling and stability of the front axle, by regulating the air that passes through the sides of the bumper and reducing the lift force at the front of the vehicle.
Another more obvious aerodynamic upgrade is the black carbon rear wing on the Coupé model. It is an application of aerodynamic knowledge gleaned from race aviation, another proof of how Lexus has sought inspiration in its collaboration with Japanese aerobatics and competition pilot Yoshihide ‘Yoshi’ Muroya, Red Bull Air Race World champion. Series in 2017.
LC ‘Ultimate Edition’
In the same way that the glossy black details of the bodywork contrast with the Hakugin white paint, inside the ‘Ultimate Edition’ the Kachi blue upholstery stands out, a color considered auspicious in Japan since time immemorial, when the threads used in the Samurai armor had a bluish-blackish hue known as kachi-iro (‘winning color’). The ‘Ultimate Edition’ cabin is also distinguished by the display of the vehicle’s serial number on an aluminum plate in front of the gear lever knob; the careful Alcantara finish of the console and door panels, and the exclusive door sills with the legend ‘Limited Edition’ engraved on the entry threshold.
Also, for the 2024 version, the Lexus LC has a new multimedia system that has a new 12.3-inch high-definition touch screen, easier to use, with greater functionality and that responds even more quickly to the needs of the driver. user thanks to the fact that it is now 86 mm closer to the driver.
An additional feature of the multimedia system is voice recognition, through which the driver or front passenger can give instructions to the ‘Hey Lexus’ on-board assistant. The system can respond to about 100 different instructions (depending on the model); for example, to control the climate control, search the Internet and connect phone calls. Up to three different users can save their personalized settings to the system for navigation, audio, driving position and security alerts.
