Lexus unveils a yellow LC Limited Edition

Anybody who likes being noticed should appreciate the new Lexus LC Limited Edition. It’s painted in a very conspicuous shade called Naples Yellow, which seems well-suited to the coupé’s striking styling.

The interior is equally eye-catching. Yellow Alcantara door-panel inserts contrast with an overall black cabin finish, while white leather covers the seats, centre console and driver’s armrest.

As the Limited Edition is based on the existing Sport Plus trim grade, the standard equipment list is comprehensive. 21” forged alloy wheels, a Torsen limited-slip differential, Dynamic Rear Steering and a retractable boot lid spoiler are all present, for instance.

Both of the usual powertrains will be offered. Therefore, one option is the LC 500 version that features a naturally-aspirated 470 bhp (351 kW / 477 PS) 5.0 litre V8 and a ten-speed automatic transmission. Alternatively, the LC 500h hybrid combines a 3.5 litre V6 petrol engine with an electric motor to produce 354 bhp (264 kW / 359 PS).

Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
