Lexus: Gran Turismo flair for real connoisseurs
HOKKAIDO EDITION A special model will soon be available for the LC series from Lexus. The coupe and convertible are limited to 40 units each in Europe. The Hokkaido Edition offers a special Gran Turismo flair.
The name and character of the special series are inspired by the island of Hokkaido in northern Japan. Famous for its volcanoes, it is also home to Lexus' Shibetsu test track, where models like the LFA supercar were brought to perfection. The LC also received its finishing touches there by the Takumi test drivers.
Available in Flare Red, Sonic Platinum, F White or Graphite, the cars feature 21-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, grille and accents in black, and afterburner-style LED headlights and taillights.
V6 hybrid or a classic V8
Known as a luxury travel destination with forested mountain ranges and hot onsen spas, the Hokkaido region features breathtaking roads that are tailor-made for the LC's driving dynamics. The Hokkaido Edition is powered by the 3.5-liter V6 hybrid unit (LC 500h) or the 5-liter V8 (LC 500 and LC 500 Convertible).
The special LC Hokkaido Edition models will be on sale in Europe from April. Prices have not yet been set.
