While some car buyers focus on the exterior design or the interior amenities, others are more concerned with what is under the hood. If you are the second type of driver, you will enjoy this list, which includes some of the most powerful Lexus engines ever built.
Lexus LC 500
The Lexus LC 500 was designed to be a luxurious, yet sporty and powerful vehicle. Designed with premium exterior materials, a technologically-advanced driver infotainment system, and a comfortable driver-inspired cockpit, the Lexus LC 500 is an exceptional choice. However, even more important than the luxurious interior is the powerful engine setup.
Equipped with a 5.0-liter V-8 engine on a 10-speed direct-shift automatic transmission, Lexus LC 500 drivers can enjoy 471 horsepower with a 0-60 mph time of just 4.4 seconds. The LC 500 also features an available multi-stage hybrid technology that improves performance while also making it an efficient choice. Don’t expect a quiet ride in the LC 500 because, as soon as you hit the gas pedal, the engine will roar to life and excite all of your senses.
Lexus LFA
Although the Lexus LC sometimes gets compared to the LFA, the price points are significantly different between the two. Much of this difference is due to the power capabilities of the LFA. This Lexus supercar is equipped with a 4.8-liter V-10 engine for 553 horsepower with an upshift ability of 200 milliseconds. The Lexus LFA has the ability to reach speeds of up to 202 mph.
The Lexus LFA set the precedent for the future of performance vehicles. In fact, many of the most powerful Lexus automobiles built today are inspired by the Lexus LFA. Just a few of the performance features the LFA introduced to the racing world include lighter carbon fiber materials, a digital tachometer, and the ability to customize your dream vehicle with premium leather materials. Unfortunately, Lexus does not have any plans to release another model of the Lexus LFA but it still lives on in many power enthusiasts dreams.
Lexus RC F
The Lexus RC F is just another one of the company’s highest performing vehicles. It is equipped with a 5.0-liter V-8 engine with an eight-speed sport direct-shift transmission for 467 horsepower. This engine, although powerful, uses materials that make it weigh less than some V-6 engines in the market. The entire design of the RC F is built for track performance with a lightweight, high-rigid coupe body frame, cross-section rocker panels, carbon fiber accessories, and stiffer front and rear racing-inspired brakes.
Even the interior of the Lexus RC F is built for performance with a driver-focused cockpit. The high-back, deeply bolstered sporty seats give you sufficient grip while you hit maximum speeds. The leather-wrapped steering wheel is smooth and comfortable, allowing you to take control of your vehicle. Even the racing pedals give you the sense of a track-inspired performance when on city roads.
Lexus leads the way with some of the fastest and most powerful engines ever made. Come by Lexus of Lehigh Valley today to see the current 2019 Lexus inventory.
