Lexus LC 500 Exhaust Sound – Video

 

The LC500 is launching with Lexus’s current hottest engine, the 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V-8 from the RC F and GS F. Output is a respectable but not at all supercar-appropriate 468 horsepower and 391 pound-feet of torque. Lexus says it’s not because the company is lazy or cheap that the LC500 isn’t turbocharged; it’s because of the natu­rally aspirated engine’s linear throttle response and emotional sound. But it’s not so emotional that the exhaust isn’t artificially enhanced through the speakers.
