In 1987 Toyota created the Lexus brand to enhance their luxury production. Very quickly the brand was hugely appreciated, especially in the United States, and more slowly also in Europe, where the brand focuses both on hybrid technology and on the sports image. The LC500, with its 5-liter engine and 464 horsepower, is a balanced coupe with a fluid and pleasant behavior, despite not being very low in weight (1925 kg).
