LC 500 Is Ready for its Close Up in Hollywood-caliber Fan Video

Lexus LC 500

Enthusiast review clip is a love letter sent directly to the sexy Lexus.

YouTube car reviews are a great way to learn about new cars. Occasionally, however, the presentation of facts and commentary can get in the way of our enjoyment of the car. Sometimes, we don’t want stats, opinions and driving impressions. Sometimes we just want the pure, visceral experience of soaking in the sights and sounds of a car.

This YouTube fan video by YouCar is, simply put, a love letter to the Lexus LC 500. In a variety of backdrops, every angle is explored and we can see the way the light bounces off each crisp character line and each sinewy curve of the car’s body.

The key to the LC 500’s good looks lies in its design. The driver’s hip was designed to be as close to the car’s center of gravity as possible. This granted the LC 500 nearly perfect proportions. It’s a classic case of form following function.

Resplendent in the timeless, classic color combo of silver over red, the interior is another sight to behold. Filmed in ultra high definition, every stitch can be examined, the pebble grain of the exquisite leather can be appreciated, and each fiber of the alcantara suede can be enjoyed.

 

The video is book-ended by two drive-bys of the LC 500, granting viewers a chance to enjoy and appreciate the siren song of the Lexus 5.0 liter V8, shared with the RC-F.

 

You can almost smell that familiar and intoxicating new-car scent. Ever cared to ponder the font choice used on the infotainment buttons? Now is your chance.

The video is book-ended by two drive-bys of the LC 500, granting viewers a chance to enjoy and appreciate the siren song of the Lexus 5.0 liter V8, shared with the RC-F. Grab your headphones — trust us, it’s worth it.

If you’ve been waiting for the LC 500 like we have, then relax, sit back, take a deep breath, and enjoy. After you’ve watched the video, be sure to share your thoughts with other Lexus enthusiasts on our forum.
