LC500的对手锁定BMW 650i和奔驰S550 Coupe。
引擎 马力 0-96kph
Lexus LC500 5.0L V8 467匹 4.4秒
奔驰S550 Coupe 4.7T V8 449匹 4.5秒 (4Matic)
BMW 650i 4.4T V8 445匹 4.3秒
LC500的轴距 2,870mm，刚好介于奔驰S550 Coupe和BMW 650i两者之间。
外国媒体在西班牙赛道试驾LC500后，好评不断。
英国Autocar称赞LC500很棒，是Lexus的胜利，表现超出预期，驾驶乐趣很高，
而且内装很精致、加速又快，给予4.5颗星极佳评价。
The LC is a triumph, in the way its makers intended and many more than you
might have expected..(中略)..this quite surprising and highly entertaining car.
美国Motor Trend、Car and Driver、以及英国Autocar都说LC500表现胜过双B同级对手
。

◇内装方面，
Motor Trend称赞LC500内装质感很棒，在同级车中只仅次于奔驰S-Class Coupe。
In terms of other cars currently on sale with better interiors,
the only one popping to mind is the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe.
Right on, Lexus.
◇引擎方面，LC500的5.0L V8 467匹自然进气引擎大受好评，拉转爽，声浪迷人，
尤其是在这个涡轮化的年代，更显独特。
(C&D) The sound swells appropriately with engine speed but isn't
overbearingly loud. The march toward turbocharging has made achieving memorable
sound more difficult, which makes the LC500’s naturally aspirated roar even
more of a standout.
◇LC500方向盘的路感丰富
Car and Driver称赞LC500方向盘路感很棒，驾驶人能从LC500的方向盘感受到路面状况
，LC500方向盘的路感非常棒，在这个电动辅助方向盘(比传统液压方向盘大幅失去路感)
的年代，LC500的这个特质让人深切渴望。
There's actual road texture being transmitted through the well-shaped
and expertly finished steering wheel. It’s a much-desired quality that
has been disappearing in the wake of electrically assisted power steering
and misguided neutering billed as progress.
◇操控方面，LC500胜过双B同级对手。
Car and Driver说LC500操控很棒，人车合一有驾驶乐趣，
LC500车身动态胜过BMW 6系列和奔驰S-Class Coupe，虽然还是不如Porsche 911，
毕竟两者车重相差450公斤以上。
The LC is a more dynamic grand touring alternative to the S-class or 6-series
coupes, but it's not nearly as dynamically fabulous as a Porsche 911—
and it's roughly 1000 pounds heavier.
Motor Trend说Lexus LC表现比BMW 6系列还要棒。
To summarize, Lexus has built a better BMW 6 Series.
英国Autocar也说LC500操控胜过BMW 6系列、奔驰SL系列，虽然没有Porsche 911那么强
。
Comparisons with the aforementioned 911 might be over-egging it,
but as a BMW 650i or Merc SL rival it has a claim to bragging rights.
◇变速箱方面，
Lexus全新开发的10速自排变速箱，采用“全锁定式扭力转换器”的设计
(full-lock torque converter)，换档很快只需0.2秒，
原厂宣称新10AT换档速度跟DCT自手排一样快。
英国Autocar对新10速自排很满意，称赞LC500换档速度又快又果决，
并会努力地让引擎转速尽量维持在4000~5500转的动力高原，给驾驶人满满的动力。
In reality, it changes swiftly and decisively and does a great job of
keeping the engine in its sweet spot between 4000 and 5500rpm when you're
licking on.
美国Car and Driver说，以传统自排的标准来看，LC500换档速度格外的快
(exceptionally swift)，但仍没有双离合自手排那么快，
而且LC500在低速换档时偶尔会有不顺的抖动感。(a few low-speed shift bobbles)
It's not as quick-shifting as a dual-clutch gearbox, and we also experienced
a few low-speed shift bobbles, but gear swaps are about as swift as they come
for conventional automatics, and upshifts are punctuated with a satisfying pop
from the exhaust. Paddle-requested downshifts, too, are exceptionally swift.
====
新Lexus LC500操控很棒，物有所值，值得珍藏。
社长“丰田章男”本人很重视Lexus LC开发案，他要求LC驾驭起来绝对不能乏味无趣，
还要让Lexus车主露出满意的微笑。
他曾说"no boring cars."，而这次，新LC500似乎真的办到了。
