Most would agree that the Lexus LC500 is one of the most beautiful production cars released in recent times, and we’d wholeheartedly agree. However, we’re not sure about the modifications made to this particular example.
The exterior of this LC500 is finished in Metallic Red which we happen to think is probably the best color available for the car. It shimmers under the sun and brings out all of the bodywork’s seductive curves and flowing body lines.
This example has since been fitted with a pair of aftermarket wheels from Avant Garde. A set of aftermarket wheels can transform the look of any vehicle and it is no different with this Lexus, although we’re unsure if the new look is bad or not.

The wheels in question are known as the SR10 and in this case have been complemented with a significantly lowered suspension that, in conjunction with the rims, alters the looks of the sports car and, to our eyes at least, take away a lot of its elegance.
As a reminder, the Lexus LC500 is powered by a 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 that is good for 471 hp. This engine is coupled to a 10-speed transmission powering the rear wheels and enables the car to hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in 4.4 seconds. Having had the opportunity to drive the LC500 a couple of years ago, we can say with confidence that it is one of the finest two-door grand tourers on the market, thanks in large part due to its stunning exterior looks, luxurious interior, and its engine.
