Lexus LC C Performance FR platform

The structural integrity that forms the core of the LC’s next generation driving dynamics focused on the vital contribution of the platform architecture to performance. To provide smooth maneuverability and stability, the moment of inertia was reduced and the center of gravity lowered to realize excellent steering stability. It is reinforced by a wide stance with short overhangs, and balanced front-to-rear weight distribution, to realize responsive and natural vehicle behavior.

Lexus LC C Performance Multi material body

To give the LC convertible with its soft-top roof the structural integrity at the heart of the LC’s dynamic performance, it integrates several exclusive components to boost body rigidity. They include a rear suspension tower brace with V-brace, torsion box, under floor braces, and gussets on the bottom of the front and center pillars. The use of aluminum, hot-stamp, and high-tensile steel further contributes to the lightweight, high rigidity body structure, reinforced by the use of body adhesives, laser welding and laser screw welding.

Lexus LC C Performance Engine sound

The sound generator and generator hoses utilize pulses in the engine air intake to generate and harmonize 3 different high frequency tones during acceleration, producing a highly distinctive and sporty engine sound unique to the LC. An aural experience in its own right, the vibrant engine sound is enhanced by special sound-control valves in the exhaust that activate during start-up, producing a localized sound image that projects a feeling of space and depth.
