And we’re off, the final production year. With the LC wrapping up later this year, it’ll be interesting to watch how the numbers close out. Any predictions?

I'd guess around 580-600 if we're just talking calendar year not model year, which basically only gives 7 months including Jan, depending on when they wrap up in August. If they run till the end of august then 675 +/-.


I'd imagine they might taper off quite a bit after the 550 insporations are done, so it could be significantly less. I dont expect a 100+ monthly average though by any means.

 

At this point Lexus has a pile of parts, they aren't ordering anymore (haven't since last year) and are figuring out how many cars they can make from that pile. IF we get a final edition it'll be in August, and they only ordered enough parts to build those.

It's fun to watch everybody scramble to get a car when every reviewer for 5+ years says this car is a future classic. RC-F cancellation last year and IS500 cancellation this year showed us what was coming. But now that it's official, gotta hurry up and get one! Good luck fellas.

 

as parts run out they quit producing cars.

 

Believe me I was trying in Decemver 2024 but then had to help my family and didnt want to overextend myself. Once I was ready I ran into this wall of orders not being accepted right after I put mine in, which was before the announcement by several months.

 

Tried to order a bespoke nori green convertible with tan top and saddle interior last monday. I was told by my dealer in Naples that Lexus stopped taking bespoke orders. They offered to try to submit.
I elected to look at a signature locally instead. Got a call friday someone backed out on my exact order, coming in next month. Everything identical to how id optioned it except the grille. Luck.
$1800 dealer fee.

 

Congrats!
Still trying to spot a Nori Green LC in the wild.

Is the grille chrome or black? If it’s something you want to change for long term satisfaction, it might be worth trying to negotiate with the dealer. Even if it costs a little out of pocket, it’s nice to have it taken care of right from the start.

 

I wanted black but unfortunately the grille is silver. Id love to swap it out for a black one but doubt thatll be possible since im color correcting and doing a full PFP wrap + ceramic. I can live with the silver.

 

We can add one to the board for February 2026. Two days ago I picked up my 2026 Nori Green / Carmel Coupe that I ordered back in September. It's not bespoke but I was able to add the touring package, HUD, Torsen Limited Slip and the Spoked Wheels without any compromise. From what I'm learning I was quite lucky with my timing and configuration. We knew when I ordered that nothing was guaranteed and yesterday my salesman told me that he as stack of orders for LCs but so far, mine is the only 2026 at his dealership that has even made it to the "build order" stage. It arrived at the dealership last Tuesday but I my schedule wouldn't allow me to pick up until Friday. Thankfully my salesman guarded it like a hawk because in the 4 days it sat there, they had 14 other offers. True to their word, they did not sell it out from under me, nor did they add any dealership premiums. Straight up honest deal. I'm very pleased with Lexus right now and oh yeah, I love the car.

 

@Deplorable
Major congratulations my friend!
The Nori Green coupe is so beautiful in such an understated and very elegant way. Those wheels are aesthetically on point.
It is good to know that you have an ethical and honorable dealer. I believe your LC 500 will provide you with many years of pleasure, enjoyment and deep appreciation.

 

U lucked out on a honest dealer.

 

Thanks for the kind words and indeed I do feel fortunate. I'm used to driving older cars so the new tech is taking some time to sink in but so far I'm really liking the 360 camera at low speeds, the Hold feature at stoplights, and voice control means something different than my wife yelling at me. I did learn tonight that with the ML stereo there is a big difference when playing lossless audio files (ripped from old CDs) through the console USB port compared to streaming Apple Car Play.

Loving every minute in the new ride.

 

Sweet pick up on the Nori Green.

 

Those types of dealers are rare especially when its a highly sought-after car, and MORESO when said car is ending production and blood is in the water. Congrats! Nori is definitely a beautiful color.

 

Congrats! This reminds me, when the bad weather finally comes to an end on the East Coast, I really need to give my car a thorough clean - NGP looks so much better when it's sparkly and clean!
