Lexus LC Performance Overview
Lexus positioned the LC as a grand-touring flagship for the 2018 to 2021 model years, blending coupe and convertible body styles with both gasoline and hybrid powertrains. Across 14 verified tests spanning those four model years, performance centers on two naturally aspirated drivetrains: the 471-hp 2UR-GSE 5.0-liter V8 in the LC 500 and the 354-hp 8GR-FXS V6-based hybrid system in the LC 500h. The range runs from the 4.6-second 0-60 result of the 2018 LC 500 Coupe to the 5.3-second 2018 LC 500h Coupe, with an overall average of 4.8 seconds to 60 mph and 13.29 seconds in the quarter-mile.
Chronologically, the early benchmark was set immediately by the 2018 LC 500 Coupe at 4.6 seconds to 60 mph, while hybrid testing established the slower side of the spread with the 2018 LC 500h Coupe at 5.3 seconds. Through the run, V8 LC 500 models consistently clustered in the mid-4-second range, including the 2021 LC 500 Coupe at 4.7 seconds and the 2021 LC 500 Convertible at 13.0 seconds at 112 mph in the quarter-mile. By the end of this span, the LC remained a gasoline-and-hybrid grand tourer with its quickest verified 0-60 still at 4.6 seconds.

How we verify Lexus LC performance data
We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Lexus LC trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
