Lexus is launching two special edition models: the flagship coupe "LC" "Patina Elegance" with a limited production of 100 units, and the FR sedan "IS" "I Blue." Both will go on sale starting Tuesday, October 1st.

Special edition versions of the Lexus flagship coupe "LC" and FR sedan "IS" have arrived. The development of these models is rooted in Lexus's philosophy, "CRAFTED." This philosophy embodies Japanese aesthetics and a sensitivity to the subtle nuances desired by users, realized through every means from artisanal craftsmanship to cutting-edge technology.

For the LC, the special edition will be available for both the 5.0-liter V8 engine "LC500" and the 3.5-liter V6 hybrid engine "LC500h." The interior features L-ANILINE leather seats, developed by Lexus for exceptional softness, and a premium leather steering wheel.

The cabin boasts a sophisticated and elegant atmosphere with a special edition interior color of Patina Brown, complemented by a striking brown combination color on the door trims and L-ANILINE leather seats.

Body colors include the new, exclusive "Terrain Khaki Mica Metallic," along with "Sonic Titanium" and "Graphite Black Glass Flake," totaling three options. Production is limited to 100 units, with prices set at ¥14.5 million for the LC500h and ¥14 million for the LC500.

The special edition "I Blue" for the IS, featuring an indigo-dyed burr wood steering wheel finished by artisans, is available for the 3.5-liter V6 "IS350," the 2.5-liter inline-4 hybrid "IS300h," and the 2.0-liter inline-4 turbo "IS300."

This indigo hue is inspired by "Kachiiro," a color cherished in Japan from over 100 color spectrums, and the interior is coordinated with a dedicated color scheme. Furthermore, the exterior's sporty character is enhanced by a black-based theme for the spindle grille and alloy wheels.

The development of the indigo-dyed burr wood steering wheel leverages over 120 years of woodworking and painting expertise. Hand-polished by artisans to achieve a smooth texture comparable to genuine leather, the indigo paint is applied as thinly as possible. This technique makes it appear black in shadow, yet reveals a vibrant, metallic indigo when exposed to sunlight.

Additionally, exclusive "L tex" sport seats, meter hood, and knee pads are accented with dedicated blue-gray stitching for the special edition.

Body colors include "Heat Blue Contrast Layering" and four other options. Prices are ¥6,557,000 for the "IS350," ¥5,901,000 for the rear-wheel-drive "IS300h" and ¥6,365,000 for the all-wheel-drive "IS300h," and ¥5,416,000 for the "IS300."
