LC500的對手鎖定BMW 650i和賓士S550 Coupe。
引擎 馬力 0-96kph
Lexus LC500 5.0L V8 467匹 4.4秒
賓士S550 Coupe 4.7T V8 449匹 4.5秒 (4Matic)
BMW 650i 4.4T V8 445匹 4.3秒
LC500的軸距 2,870mm，剛好介於賓士S550 Coupe和BMW 650i兩者之間。
外國媒體在西班牙賽道試駕LC500後，好評不斷。
英國Autocar稱讚LC500很棒，是Lexus的勝利，表現超出預期，駕駛樂趣很高，
而且內裝很精緻、加速又快，給予4.5顆星極佳評價。
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.
美國Motor Trend、Car and Driver、以及英國Autocar都說LC500表現勝過雙B同級對手
。

◇內裝方面，
Motor Trend稱讚LC500內裝質感很棒，在同級車中只僅次於賓士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匹自然進氣引擎大受好評，拉轉爽，聲浪迷人，
尤其是在這個渦輪化的年代，更顯獨特。
(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方向盤的路感豐富
Car and Driver稱讚LC500方向盤路感很棒，駕駛人能從LC500的方向盤感受到路面狀況
，LC500方向盤的路感非常棒，在這個電動輔助方向盤(比傳統液壓方向盤大幅失去路感)
的年代，LC500的這個特質讓人深切渴望。
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勝過雙B同級對手。
Car and Driver說LC500操控很棒，人車合一有駕駛樂趣，
LC500車身動態勝過BMW 6系列和賓士S-Class Coupe，雖然還是不如Porsche 911，
畢竟兩者車重相差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說Lexus LC表現比BMW 6系列還要棒。
To summarize, Lexus has built a better BMW 6 Series.
英國Autocar也說LC500操控勝過BMW 6系列、賓士SL系列，雖然沒有Porsche 911那麼強
。
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.
◇變速箱方面，
Lexus全新開發的10速自排變速箱，採用「全鎖定式扭力轉換器」的設計
(full-lock torque converter)，換檔很快只需0.2秒，
原廠宣稱新10AT換檔速度跟DCT自手排一樣快。
英國Autocar對新10速自排很滿意，稱讚LC500換檔速度又快又果決，
並會努力地讓引擎轉速盡量維持在4000~5500轉的動力高原，給駕駛人滿滿的動力。
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.
美國Car and Driver說，以傳統自排的標準來看，LC500換檔速度格外的快
(exceptionally swift)，但仍沒有雙離合自手排那麼快，
而且LC500在低速換檔時偶爾會有不順的抖動感。(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。
社長「豐田章男」本人很重視Lexus LC開發案，他要求LC駕馭起來絕對不能乏味無趣，
還要讓Lexus車主露出滿意的微笑。
他曾說"no boring cars."，而這次，新LC500似乎真的辦到了。
