The Lexus LC (Japanese: レクサス・LC, Rekusasu LC) is a grand tourer/personal luxury car from Lexus, Toyota's luxury division. It was based on the 2012 LF-LC Concept, designed by Toyota Calty Design Research in Newport Beach, California. It was developed under the program codename "950A" from 2011 to 2016, design work was transferred from Calty to Toyota Technical Centre in Aichi, Japan from January 2013, with a final production design freeze in the first half of 2014. The LC 500 is expected to start sales in May 2017, at a base cost of US$90,000 for the LC 500 and US$100,000 for the LC 500h.

The LC 500 grand tourer was introduced in January 2016 at the North American International Auto Show as a 2-door fastback coupé. Its pricing is at under $100,000. It will share the same 5.0-litre 348 kW (467 bhp) 2UR-GSE V8 engine with the RC F and GS F, but will have 351 kW (471 hp) because of an improved intake and exhaust. It will be paired with a new 10-speed automatic transmission.

The LC 500h was announced in January 2016 and full specifications were released in February 2016.

It will keep the rear-wheel-drive drivetrain. It features a 3.5-liter V6 engine, a hybrid transmission, and a lithium-ion battery pack with a combined 264 kW (354 bhp) output.

The grille pattern is a gradient, with the tightly compressed mesh at the top transitioning to a wider diamond at the bottom. Note the top of the spindle grille does not have a chrome surround — this is a break from the traditional Lexus grille design.
