Lexus has introduced a new color for the
2021 LC Coupe in Europe, the Blazing Carnelian. Joining the 30 different shades
featured across the range, which include the Naples Yellow, Sonic Silver and
Sonic Titanium, among others, the new Blazing Carnelian exterior color “evokes
the agile driving performance of the latest edition of the flagship coupe”,
according to Lexus.
The multi-layer paint finish, which counts
different high saturation base coats and an additional mica base, is offered in
combination with an equally striking color for the cockpit: Manhattan Orange.
The new tone was inspired by the famous Manhattan Henge, a natural light effect
that happens twice a year when the setting sun aligns perfectly with the grid
pattern of the streets. Used on the seats, headliner, and door panels, it
“creates an exclusive and avant-garde feeling”.
Lexus’ Europe division hasn’t announced
any more upgrades for the 2021 LC Coupe, but the U.S.-spec has already been
presented a few months ago. Among the changes, it features a revised color
palette, new wheels, revised suspension and transmission and the introduction
of Android Auto, as it already supported Apple CarPlay.
The LC 500 starts at US$ 92,950 and the LC
500h at US$ 97,510. For the LC 500 Convertible, you are looking at a minimum of US$ 101,000, whereas the LC 500 Convertible Inspiration Series can be had from US$ 119,800.
