Default Inspiration series

Check out this video:


Bell Lexus in North Scottsdale is getting the states only LC 500 Inspiration Series and one of only 100 to be produced.

Car has not been spoken for yet.

While I haven't seen it in person, the pictures look stunning.

Flare Yellow exterior
Bespoke Yellow interior w/ yellow alcantara door inserts.

It is essentially a touring package with the 21' forged wheels and the limited slip differential.

MSRP is $108,089.

PM me for more info if you're interested.

Odd that they would include the performance package without the seats...the touring seats don't have proper lateral support during spirited cornering.

My understanding is that it is not a performance package (no speed activated rear spoiler, no carbon fiber roof, no TVD). It’s just a touring package with the fancy rims and limited slip diff.

Actually it does have the activated spoiler and carbon roof (as per the Chicago auto show demo) so I guess they just picked some of the items from that package.

Interesting... I wonder if they are making a few different versions of the car? I'm reading over the window sticker I have and those two items are definitely not listed anywhere as either an option or standard equipment.

It seems that they double dipped on the pricing - they charge for the exterior paint under the "Inspiration Series" option, and then they charge $595 again for "Premium Paint"?

Strange - Did you notice this video vehicle doesn't have the black Inspiration Series wheels?

I guess they got a little too ''inspired'' by the number of versions offered
