Which variant to buy
Most buyers should choose the RM1,379,000 LC 500 coupé. It delivers the same 4,969 cc 470 hp petrol V8, rear-wheel drive, automatic transmission and four-seat layout as the convertible, while keeping RM100,000 in hand. Pay RM1,479,000 for the LC 500 Convertible only if lowering the roof is central to the ownership experience; the mechanical specification does not change.

Lexus LC buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The LC is a very expensive luxury coupé, but its basic proposition is unusually direct: a naturally aspirated 4,969 cc petrol V8 producing 470 hp, rear-wheel drive and an automatic gearbox. The coupé is the financially rational entry point, while the convertible asks a substantial RM100,000 more for its roof format. Neither variant is for buyers seeking a low-cost route into luxury motoring.
