Lexus has launched a limited edition of the brand's sports coupe, the LC500h. The LC500h 2024 Limited Edition is priced at Rs 2.50 crore and gets special interior and exterior colours, along with aerodynamic elements. The car remains mechanically unchanged from the regular model and the company has not specified how many units this edition will be limited to.
Lexus LC500h Limited Edition exterior and interior
The limited-edition Lexus comes in a special shade of white paint called ‘Hakugin’. The pearlescent paint is coated in a satin finish and the brand claims that this resembles unglazed porcelain. To help accentuate the white paint, there are black elements such as the front grille and the rear diffuser region. While the special edition runs on 21-inch wheels like the regular LC500h, the difference is in the design and the finish, with the new edition getting a matte black finish and a new design. Also exclusive to the LC500h special edition is a fixed rear carbon-fibre wing at the rear and front bumper canards to improve aerodynamics.
