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.

Lexus LC performance FAQs

6 questions
The quickest Lexus LC on record is the 2021 Lexus LC LC 500 Convertible, which runs 0–60 mph in 4.6 seconds and clears the quarter-mile in 13.00 seconds at 112.0 mph.
The slowest recorded Lexus LC is the 2018 Lexus LC LC 500h Coupe, which takes 5.3 seconds to reach 60 mph and runs 14.00 seconds in the quarter.
Averaged across all 14 verified runs, a Lexus LC reaches 60 mph in 4.80 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 13.29 seconds at roughly 108.2 mph.
We have verified test data for 4 model years. Each year shows every recorded run, the publication that measured it, and the trim-level details.
Every figure is sourced from published road tests by Car and Driver, Motor Trend, Motor Week and Road & Track. We don't use manufacturer claims — only independently timed runs — so the numbers reflect what the car actually does.
0–60 and quarter-mile results depend on driver technique, ambient temperature, tire condition, road surface, altitude, and testing instrumentation. A published figure is a single sample, not an absolute — which is why we show the range of verified runs rather than one number.

0–60 and quarter-mile times vary with driver, weather, tire temperature, and wear. We collect every verified run we can find — so you see the range of what a Lexus LC can do, not a single marketing claim.
