Meanwhile, the gasoline engine is a 5.0-liter V8, similar to the one found in the "GS-F." The transmission is a newly developed 10-speed automatic, the "Direct Shift-10AT."

The adoption of the newly developed "GA-L platform" ensures a low center of gravity and achieves the wide and low styling that inherits the image of the LF-LC. The interior, with its Alcantara sports seats and leather-covered dashboard, exudes a sporty yet luxurious atmosphere.

Body colors include 11 options, starting with the newly developed "Nebel Yellow Contrast Layering." Pricing for the hybrid model "LC500h" ranges from ¥13.5 million to ¥14.5 million. The 5.0-liter V8 model "LC500" is priced between ¥13 million and ¥14 million.
