Lexus brings to Spain the limited edition of its flagship LC sports car, for the LC Cabrio HOKKAIDO version. The LC is already a mechanical work of art that produces 477 horsepower and 540 Nm of maximum torque, combined with the 10-speed DirectShift automatic transmission. Come on, a car scandal not only on the outside but also on the inside. And it is that if the beginnings of Lexus are based on the premise of creating the best car in the world, the Lexus LC 500 Cabrio should become the most beautiful convertible in the world. That has a lot to do with the philosophy of Lexus, a firm that continues to use Takumi master craftsmen to develop the bodywork of its vehicles . Not everyone can enter this select group and the craft tests are so varied that they involve the origami technique. Another of the karma that follows is called Omotenashi. It would come to be the maximum hospitality towards the driver and his passengers, so that they feel really comfortable in his cabin.
All these traditional Japanese ceremonies may seem like an invention but a Lexus is a Lexus, nothing comes close to it. That’s why this new limited edition LC Cabrio will be so special. It takes its name and spirit from the island of HOKKAIDO, in northern Japan. Famous for its volcanoes, it is also home to the Lexus Shibetsu Proving Ground, where incredible vehicles like the LFA supercar were developed to perfection.
The limited series LC 500 Cabrio HOKKAIDO is only available in Nova White , and features 21-inch alloy wheels and a unique ‘afterburner-style’ grille, LED headlights and taillights. In addition, the roof of the LC HOKKAIDO features a striking red fabric. It has the exclusive ‘Black Pack’, with black details on the front grille, front bumper, headlights, headlight washers and taillights and with wheels with a dark gray chrome 5-spoke design. In addition, the color coordination of the red retractable roof with the interior is a design key that gives the LC Convertible HOKKAIDO a highly extraordinary atmosphere that emphasizes luxury.
Paired with red trim, this limited edition features semi-aniline leather upholstery on the front seats and tahara leather upholstery on the rear seats. And for a unique touch, the LC Cabrio HOKKAIDO includes a special edition serial number plate. It also has exclusive details such as an analog clock with red finishes, the exclusive HOKKAIDO Special Edition license plate and ‘Limited Edition’ Lexus door sills.
The HOKKIADO LC Convertible is powered by a high-revving 477PS 5.0-litre V8 petrol engine, which perfectly embodies the Lexus Driving Signature spirit, its linear acceleration, steering and braking in tune and precision with the driver’s intentions. The production of this limited edition has a very restricted number of units. In fact, the availability of the LC 500 Cabrio HOKKAIDO finish for Spain is only 1 unit. And nothing more and nothing less than at a price of 161,500 euros. It is not for any pocket!
