As part of its Inspiration Series, Lexus
is planning to produce a number of limited-edition models of its LC500. The Inspiration Series LC500 will feature some striking red accents that are unlike anything we've seen before. Read on to learn more about this special 2022 Lexus LC500 and how its memorable red accents feature in its overall design.
A look at the 2022 Lexus LC500
We have to say, the specs on these limited-edition LC500s are pretty impressive. First, per MotorTrend
, these LC500s come with a 5.0-liter, 471 hp V8 engine, giving you plenty of power to get you where you're going, along with different performance options. It also has a 10-speed automatic transmission. Of course, all this power will cost you a pretty penny. You'll have to shell out $104,500 for a new Coupe or $115,580 for a convertible. For that price, you'll also get the head-up display and a 13-speaker Mark Levinson 915-watt sound system, not to mention some snazzy 21-in. two-tone wheels. MotorTrend
in fact rates the car highly for its relative affordability compared to its competition. All that said, the LC500 does have some drawbacks as well. MotorTrend grades it poorly for its "clunky infotainment" and "mediocre" hybrid drivetrain. And although the car can go from 0 to 60 in just 4.7 seconds, which would leave most cars in the dust, MotorTrend isn't that impressed with its acceleration capabilities.
The Lexus LC500 features some lovely red accents
What makes this Inspiration Series LC500 truly stand out are all of the beautiful touches of red that Lexus placed around the car. The manufacturer started with a rose-colored soft top on the convertible model, which contrasts strikingly with the car's silver body.
From there, the manufacturer moved to the car's interior, where splashes of red and rose abound. The leather upholstery comes in beautiful black and rose shades. In addition, dark rose contrast stitching adds touches of color to the seats and seatbelts.
These touches really make the Inspiration Series LC500 stand out from its siblings and are an attractive addition to the vehicle.

Here are Lexus's sales plans for the car
As with all of Lexus's limited-edition models, the Inspiration Series LC500 won't be easy to get your hands on. In fact, Lexus will be producing even fewer of these than it did the attention-grabbing LFA a decade ago.
While Lexus produced 500 LFA units over a period of two years, it's only planning to manufacture 150 of these special LC500s. They're likely to sell out quickly, so if you're interested, you'll want to keep your eyes out for an announcement.
It's expected that Lexus will begin selling the vehicles late this spring, so you won't want to miss your chance at this snazzy edition of the LC500--unless you plan to wait to buy a used model.
