Default Ordering an LC500, Few questions

Hello folks, this is my first post on here.

I am planning to order an LC500 Bespoke build, but I noticed a lack of Dynamic Handling Package. Is it not possible to option this on a Bespoke?

Also, anyone order their LC in Northern California? Any recommended dealerships? I was looking at Stevens Creek, Serramonte, Fremont, and Sacramento.

Welcome! I don't know about ordering a bespoke, but as an Arizona resident I do have experience with ordering a car from Serramonte. My salesman there is gone, but that dealer was great in that from a phone call and without haggling they gave me a low price on an IS350 that blew everyone else out of the water without any hassle or haggling. They shipped me the car and the whole transaction was smooth.

Looking at the translated Polish website, I read Lexus Poland do allow the dynamic handling package with bespoke order, but not North America



^^^ They call it Performance Pack with Rear Axle steering and VGRS

in canada, 2023 has the performance pack option. Funny though, that option wasn't to pricey and also included the carbon sill.

it's probably not pricey because the car includes a lot of what's in the package anyway.

no it doesn’t for bespoke build, it’s only the Sport Package that can be ordered for bespoke build. The Sport Package that include the carbon sill and LSD is not pricey.
Regular non-bespoke order of the fully loaded car of course include the Performance Pack(Dynamic Handling package in USA), it has the rear axle steering and VGRS.

We are probably talking about 2 different things. i ordered bespoke in canada, the performance was one of the options i wanted. straight from the website: Bespoke Performance Option (Torsen Limited Slip Differential, Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer Scuff Plates, Rear Performance Damper, Michelin Tires - forged wheels only)$1,145

My total build price was ~126k. I had selected out every option that was available on bespoke. carbon roof, spoiler, 21 black wheels, accent trim, orange interiror, and performance (as above). The fully loaded non bespoke actually comes out to a similar price. but the difference was more in terms of how long i'd have to wait for bespoke vs non bespoke. I guess maybe they limit the numbers of bespoke... ?

I've never seen what 'sport' means. but keep in mind I am new. Just going with what my own build was.

as far as the website goes... I think bespoke doesn't have it as an option. And canada there is no option for hud or audio vs usa. But from memory the audio and hud are standard. But who knows. It's confusing how regions are so different.

Not to hijack this thread...but my build will become irrelevant now that 24 is coming and need to redo my order. Will have to wait and see.

Correct, in Canada that is not an option on the bespoke edition. Bespoke performance edition in Canada only includes Torsen Limited Slip Differential, Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer Scuff Plates, Rear Performance Damper, and Michelin Tires (if you opt for the forged wheels).
