This is the 2022 Lexus LC500 and in my opinion, is one of the best-looking cars on the road today. It’s also one of my all-time favorite cars due to what’s under the hood, more on that later since I’m going to review this car today and we’ll discover what’s new for 2022 that makes this car the ultimate Grand Tourer of all time.

The Lexus LC500 is a rolling piece of art, I mean look at it, nobody else in this price bracket makes a car that looks like this even for twice the price. The LC debuted in 2016 and it shares a platform with the LS sedan but it’s far better looking. Some of the design elements are simply breathtaking, this car is strikingly beautiful. 

The beating heart of this car is Lexus's high-performance naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V-8, which puts out 471 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque and is paired only with a quick-shifting- 10-speed automatic transmission.  

Natural aspiration especially for V8 engines is rapidly dying out and only a selection of cars are for sale in 2022.  These include the Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang GT, Genesis G90, Dodge Challenger/Charger, Lexus RC F, Chevrolet Camaro, Lexus IS 500, and Chrysler 300.
