Exactly! That N/A V8 is even better than some new songs!
nice 🤣👌

The Lexus LC500 is on this planet to do 3 things: Look amazing, sound amazing, and feel amazing Check, check, check. "You can have the rest." - Lexus
Style and image over function, no thanks. But I'm not a fan of the racerboi Supra either.
i might steal that quote lol
@@grocerylist Function is amazing too, and I’m willing to bet you’ve never driven one.
and what function exactly? are you gonna race 24/7 vs supercars on the way to the grocery mr grocerylist? i'd rather have a very comfortable drive (including long displacement) and just get to work in awe
But that lovely big V8 makes it so smooth with that sexy sound though. I think it’s the perfect GT cruiser on the market right now.
i don’t comment much but this channel just brings so much joy. i can feel the sheer enjoyment you guys give off every time and it makes for a greater type of content🤘🏼 keep it up!
A couple points here: 1. DAMN is the LC 500 a good-looking car with some serious luxury to offer. 2. For the price, it also needs some better performance. Spending that much for nearly 500 HP should lend to it faring better than it does. 3. The new Supra is quicker than many people are giving it credit for.
I’m still going to pick the Lexus over and over again... LC 500 is the kinda car you wouldn’t mind losing with.
You never loose if you're driving an LC
true, and lots of arm chair warriors on here saying its overpriced.. if it is then anything over 100k is overpriced... its one of the nicest cars I have ever driven or looked at. Its easily as nice as my 2018 SL63, but no where near as fast, but I paid much much more..
Tony C you’re right
@@twfinc6855 low mileage under 10k LC500 can be had for 70k. Bargain
@@tonyc6996 they actually hold their value pretty well !! I look at what a mercedes SL (not really same class) sells for and they drop like a rock in comparison..
I heard the LC500 in real-life, I don't think i will ever hear something like that engine again. Honestly it's just beyond perfection. LC500 is not about speed it's about enjoying every moment while driving.
The only car that sounds better in person is the Lexus LFA, which is still the same brand and a V10!
@@jadenthomas7228 The LFA hits different.
F Type's V8 exhaust is a different level in real life compared to the LC.
@@savagetravels1999 My neighbor owns an F-type. The sound of that exhaust and induction still doesn’t match the LC
I don't know man, I believe blown V8 engines on drag built cars sound like a monster
Having had both in my inventory (and sold them both) I will say that I feel the GR Supra is a very fun and fast car. The LC500, on the other hand, is an absolute masterpiece of an automobile. Supra would win any race, but I'd rather be in the LC500 10/10 times. Great review!
what made you sell the LC500?
@@bivansaha9755 - I'm a dealer, neither one were personal cars of mine.
I'd take the Supra anyday though. Will hold it's value while the Lexus will be 20k in cheap in 5 years.
@@paulklp8262 You think a MKV Supra will hold its value? Seriously? Maybe the upcoming 6MT version will because it won't sell well, but even the Launch edition cars aren't holding their value already. Neither of the cars mentioned here will hold their value.
@@stevetheodore_specialtycars Supra is a culture icon. Of course it will.
The lc500 is amazing. I loved driving it. He's literally me when I was driving it just not caring about anything else lol. The alcantera feels good
U like the alcantera eh, its pretty sweet im getting my car done with it
The people that hate the LC are hatin it for the wrong reasons. People sayin it’s underpowered and overpriced but it’s not meant to be your weekend track car or be the fastest on the road. It’s meant to cruise comfortably on all roads and to put the power down smoothly kinda like Bentley. People SHOULD hate it for the infotainment tho because it’s trash lmao
I have a passion for Lexus' but I can completely agree they cannot get the infotainment done properly at all 😂 my 2019 CT200h just has an awful infotainment system but the rest of the car is 10/10. Alright, maybe minus the gearbox!
The funniest thing is, the LC500 is basically an updated MK4 Supra with less potential for power mods (it was designed by the team who did the MK4 as they were all transferred to work on Lexus F cars in the early 00s after Toyota gave up on sports cars) It feels like your sitting in a modernised MK4 and it drives the same as a stock one too. Almost all the complaints you hear about the LC apply to the MK4 too, heavy compared to contemporaries, a GT car instead of sports car, etc etc, it's just the people moaning don't even know what MK4 Supras were like to drive before they were lowered, given 500HP, etc.
@DC Williams Not sure if you're talking about the 850 or 840. But either way, you get what you pay for.
Could not agree more with your analysis, spot on
@@llynellyn yeah, that explains why I see the MK4 supra's soul in the LC. They look like what I expect siblings to look like.
Lexus lc is too underrated
You spelled overpriced wrong 🤣
@@IReahpZz you spelled i am poor wrong
@@anthonyt4981 oooooooof
Wedow I was gunna go with over priced or under powered knowing that I couldn’t afford it even if it was half the price 🤣🤣🤣
Wedow it’s not overpriced considering that it will last 20-30 years from now when every other bmw and mercedes is dead for 4k
These videos are very enjoyable. "If I loose this drag race... I´m Zen, I´m fine...." That´s what every car should achieve.
I discovered this channel when they had 150,000 subscribers, and I still love this channel, solely due to the fact that it reminds me of top gear with Jeremy, James, and Richard... but without James 🤣
The LC turns almost as many heads as a half naked woman running down the road.
Depends on the woman, I guess. 🤭
Hmmm🤔🤔if that was the real jdm Supra I wonder what will be the outcome.
@@ir0nm0nkey123 still rather have the LC over any of the JDM Supras
I can witness that statement is true when I drive mine. Lol!
You see Woman walk down the street half naked everyday in Miami
I've seen several LC's in person. Red with the caramel interior is stunning.
The next RC should be a 3,200 lb car not a 4.2 to 4.5 lb car.
You will hear a Lexus LC500 before you'll see it the sound is hard to ignore, this beauty is stunning coupe and convertible. No It's not the fastest but will you won't car?
@@johicks839 Couldn't agree more.
Have You seen the red black interior combo? As in red seats and black steering wheel
@@RK1FX Not yet. I've seen white and black with the black interior.
I start to like this channel as both entertain just enough to the end
I came here from your LC500 review and WOW it’s such an underrated car
WE NEED THE LEXUS LFA!!!!!!
Pranav Dubey sorry mate, they stop making that almost a decade ago. Rare and still way overpriced, although the sound is luscious.
I agree, we want a new LFA, don't know if it's ever gonna happen though 🥺
I got taken for a spin on the track in one and it's Next level shit
Saif0412 Who’s gonna buy it though?
@@datn.4371 Most certainly not me 🤣🤣, or anything it's starting price range before it becomes a collectors item 😂
Looks like everyone here still chooses the lc500, including myself.
Same
Not me. The Lexus is hideous imo.
@@wfujay3946 It's subjective, most people love it, that's fine.
Not me. That car can buy a new supra, a new z4
@@alexanderaddaiboateng169 Why? You love artificial engine noise and black plastic?
That LC is amazing 🙌🏾 I'd rather go home in it too.
The one race I never knew I wanted to see
The Lexus weighs about 1,000 pounds more. TheLC is absolutely gorgeous, who cares that it is not sports car fast. It is the premier luxury GT car.
I agree! I have the SC430 and it is a grand tourer
More like mk4 supra than mk5 supra
LC is a cool car but why not go with an RC-F? Same Hp, less weight, 8 cyl, and still plenty luxurious?
metalfight1234 doesn’t look as good and not as luxurious
@@metalfight1234 i see your argument, but have you seen Clarckson's review of the RCF? it is horrible to drive apparently
LC looks hella sporty but it really is a luxury roadster...refined for cruising... not a drag race type of car.
noticed the lc was short shifting around 6800 rpm whats up... did you have it in Sport + or just sport?
Top gear/Grand Tour style intros 👍🏼
Bmw makes a good sounding engine, but the Lexus IS in another level.
you mean sound from the speakers?
But the lfa is a v8 so it should sound better
It has a BMW engine.
BMW exhausts peaked with the e92 and e60 m cars and it’s been a decline since.
Jonathan Losito like an Acura or Infiniti with a Mercedes or Audi engine
I would love to see a race between the 2020 Supra versus the 2021 to see if there's a substantial difference
I don't think there is, the 2020 was faster then it was in paper, I feel like the new one just had more accurate specs paperwise but should have similar performance. Haven't seen a video tho comparing them
@Vinny Booboo Yes, I've seen a site that compares them on the Dyno. Says the 2021 is getting 42 more HP than the 2020: kzhead.info/sun/o5mEqbGwf6CZbKs/bejne.html. But I've also seen people say you can feel the torque difference is daily driving. I'm sure the 2021 wins in a drag, but along with the suspension changes I'd love to see the difference in lap times head to head.
@@Al_Sayid_Sanad No the 2021 has a different version of the BMW B58 than the 2020. Toyota just blatantly screwed over everyone who got the first model year.
Yess u r reading my maind
That's exactly what we need.
I really like the looks and everything on the lc500 it just wow🤩
Great video as always...care to to an Aston Martin db9.2?2014-2016
I'm driving away in the lc500 out of those two.
Well I'd do downpipes, Intercooler and remap the Supra & blow the Lexus into last week 😂
Saif0412 and?
@@Saif0412 People who drive a premium car like the LC 500 couldn't care less about a faster boyracer
@@Saif0412 waste of money, the BMW already beat the LC without trying.
I have a 2021 Supra and I'd gladly take the LC500 over this german Z4. However, I could not find a used LC500 within the price of a new Supra so I ended up with a Supra. The LC is damn gorgeous.
“The foreign exchange student” Now I see what you did there.
They are both "foreign" one is a exchange student the other has mixed local parents still looks like a exchange student
Mark K "foreign" on its own doesn't make sense, foreign to what country
"Foreign exchange student" = fake BMW Supra!
@@SilverScarletSpider neon genesis evangelion?
How does this channel not have over a million followers yet?
Just saw one on Singapore the other day. I've seen alot of sports cars before but the sound and looks the Lexus had took me by surprise
Supra also has criminally underrated HP/Torque figures....
@@Gandalf721 closer to real yes, but they are still pushing out well over 400 at the crank
The 2021 ratings happen to be what it makes at the wheels as well. The revised motor is around 430-450hp at the crank.
@@dawnpoint Yes, that is what I figure as well
That's what BMW always does in recent years. When they said 625, it's 650 at wheels. BMW 510HP=550 at wheels. That's also the case with B58.
@@jamisonz3365 I feel like Mercedes is doing similar thing as well.... keep the real numbers concealed for what purpose??
And you can drive with the windows down in the Lexus 😂
Indeed.
Yeah, right? Who signed off on the Supra? Must have never put the windows down.
@@RRSmurf I would still probably take the supra though 🤷♂️
@@dougrobinson8602 big mistake in the design. Honestly that would probably be a deal breaker for me. I could care less what it's powered by. I do think they should have done better with changing the interior a bit and a few other things. That being said I always liked it even before the whole supra craze but not being able to drive and enjoy the air would be a hard pill to swallow!
@@nstylemotorsportsracing1471 I could probably live with the buffeting, because I rarely drive with windows down, but there's no question the window down aero should have been addressed. Styling is not great to look at, either. You drop that kind of coin on a sport coupe, and you should be gazing at the car every time you walk away from it. The Supra doesn't do that for me. The LC would.
Hey throttle, just wanna say I love you guys content. It’s the best ! Also wanted to say is it possible to do an e85 tune on the lc500 an re race them? I’d love to see it
Correction, wanted to ask.
12 Yr old "nice bmw"
Fact of the matter is the car is a repackage z4. Plain and simple. I can beat my 2jz like a dead horse and still would have no problems. They need to bring over the Yaris GR atleast that car is an actual Toyota sports car.
You’re so original
@@HungBui-op8rw i watched a video on that Yaris Gr and it’s actually crazy fast I didn’t expect that
@@nightsounds8366 yeah Toyota car hasn't performed like that since the 90s Celica Gt-Four. One of the other I disliked the new "supra" besides being a repackaged z4 is the bs excuse that they couldn't develop a new performance engine. Meanwhile toyota and their old partner yamaha ( who helped developed the 2zz) are cranking out engines for the yaris gr and lc 500
@@HungBui-op8rw I think they fixed a few of the problems of the new Supra with the latest production year. They added a manual transmission and a power upgrade, as well as a few other things.
Supra 100k miles - "I'm in danger" LC500 100k miles - "only 900,000 to go before I get a little tired"
True!
True story there. Doubt the BMW will last 100k miles though.
Sorry, but this is such a cringe worthy comment. Especially with Toyota/Lexus quality as of late.
You guys are hilarious! Nobody who buys this car is gonna drive it more than 100K anyway. Rich people don't keep their cars for 20 years.
@@johnholst it's hilarious you think only rich people buy cars under $100k. Most lease
LC500 is a touring GT. I would rather have the LC500.
You can buy 2 Supras for the price of the LC. Good job Toyota/BMW on the Supra.
you guys should do more drag races
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Supra takes this. The LC is a luxury GT that weighs nearly half a metric ton more and similar torque to the Supra. The Supra is what you take to the track or twisty canyon road. The Lexus is what you take on a scenic road trip.
But the Lexus is about twice the price of the Supra.
ping pong Speed is not everything. They are not in the same class
@@Pong_ping95 Not as a used car! I cross shopped these two, and decided the LC was worth the extra $15k compared new vs. used at the time.
The scenic road trip in the Lexus to the track to meet your track ready supra, when your done, let the Lexus soothe you all the way home.
You described it perfectly for each car
The Lexus just needs a little more power to match the sexy exterior & sound.
No it doesn't. It's more power than ANYONE needs.
It needs a V12 ;) Edit: On second thoughts, you could put the LFA engine in it.....
Imagine the LC500 with a turbo. It would be such a beast.
@@mattevans4377 I think toyota can redevelop their century v12 for the lc...though it'll shoot up in msrp
@@TranceFur it would become a crap just like any other modern turbo car. LC500 and GSF are exceptionally great and stand out from the crowd because they are N/A. LC500 needs more powefull N/A V8 or V10 not some shitty turbos that makes car fart
the LC color combo is fkn incredible. so classy. im takin the LC all day every day, you can have the drag.
Thomas hit the nail on the head when he said "ZEN"...I have had mine for about a year and that is the perfect word or Sublime
I just searched for lc500 vs supra earlier today! Now you guys uploaded it. wow
Can you guys make a compilation with all you intros..... They are damn good😂😂
I have seen both car in person and both are beautiful.
Plz review LC 500 Convertible w the Top Down!!!
Another great vid, almost at 1m subs, great job doods
“If I lose this drag race, I’m zen” 😂😂
This is such a weird race. I love it.
I just bought an LC500, this exact one. I’ve had a bunch of other cars before it one before my last was a c7 stingray I loved the straight pipe start up but I always lacked the touring. I got an RC300 and it was comfy then I wanted to combine the power and comfort. Best decision
6:10 I believe that is a driver safety package you could opt on any BMW for a while now, where it automatically tightens the seatbelt when you reach a certain speed. It gets really annoying when you want to sit more comfortably in the seat and not be pushed into it but you get used to it eventually.
I'm pretty sure that's just how all seat belts are even in my old 90's car.
@@GlossCherry I've never had seatbelts like these in any car before the BMWs. Not in Fords, not in VWs and not in Mercedes either. No doubt they are available in other cars too, but I know them from BMWs mainly.
@@Datoda it was a feature in my moms '06 kia minivan
6:12 sec supra tries to strangle james for badmouthing his cousin
You saved me from needing to type this... 😂
😂😂
Whereas the MK4 supra is watching with disappointment from heaven
@throttlehouse now that you have had the chance to drive the Mark IV Supra, Mark V Supra and the Lexus LC which would you choose and why?
Nice video and introduction
When you do drag and roll races you should have camera on the speedometer in the corner for each car so they can go head to head mph
I feel like one day I’m gonna casually drive by them and be like ohhhh my goooooodness it’s the throttle house dudes!!!!
Interesting comparison! I enjoyed watching the video. I still love the LC.
A gt3-rs type of trim for that lc would be an interesting option for that car to see what it could really do
Nice race boys. I really wanna Race the over rated LC500 w/my Stinger GT !! If you can get it again, I come for that !!
As an SC400 owner, this was an interesting watch. The LC500 -- and everything the reviewers say about it -- is the modern version of my car. So the LC is faster...when you're in a luxury GT car, you don't care if you lose a few drag races. Hahaha
“He’s heavier, he’s more powerful but he’s heavier” I see what you did there
Thomas: Concierge, does that just call a man? Ha ha. Great video guys, thanks for the laughs.
I'm a Toyota tech and I had a guy with an RC-F and he brought me a cat back system, don't remember the brand but it cost $2200. Anyway I installed it and drove it. Wow, amazing, AMAZING sound...
Man, that B58 has got to be super underrated in terms of power. 2 sweet cars! Thanks for the video, gentlemen.
it is, 388 hp at the wheels
How is this channel under 1 mill
Almost there 😏
Ikr
Yeah i agree,the sound of enjoyment is the best
The LC is gorgeous I can't wait to park one next to my SC when the price eventually drops
Second handed can be a lot cheaper right?
Maaan I was hoping used ones would drop in price but NOPE. The cheapest one I could find was still asking for over $70k for a 2018 model.
The lc is beautiful, u guy's love to drag race
Without watching I’ll say the BMW Supra wins the drag race but I would buy an LC 500 without a second thought.
What colour LC500 did you get?
Nori green obviously

Would love to see an LFA sometime
THAT V8🔥🔥🔥🔥
...is gutless!
@@Kelveron 471 from a 5.0 v8 thats naturally aspirated is extremely impressive. It makes more power than a ford mustang gt
It is fire, I have this V8 in my G'S F sedan. Love it.
That v8 is garbage are you serious?
Still in love with the LC😍
You should do a lc 500 track time
I saw one of these Lexus’s lowered on nicer wheels and a spoiler and it was like a completely car, just beautiful
Love this lexus😍 lc500
Both cars are nice in there own way. I like the engine in the Supra cause of its tuning potential. Not crazy about the inside of the Supra and wind buffering feature. The LC500 is a DD with power and comfort. Can't wait to see the 400Z comes out and see how it stacks with the Supra.
You guys should test the Ford Fusion Sport vs Ford Taurus SHO, maybe even throw the Focus RS in there too!
I have a 2021 gr and love this!!!
That lc is just something you feel pride driving in
If they made an LC-F with a v8 that revs to at least 8000 rpm... I would sell so many of my organs.
would recommend to sell most so they would make a robocop of u for a robotoyota
@@royhsieh4307 Duly noted. 🤣
there has been rumors that they are making one, but sadly it will be a Twin Turbo V8. I guess it makes sense as you kinda need the torque to push the heavy weight. Will have 620 hp tho.
@@devandrasimanjuntak1646 They announced that the LCF has been scrapped, but the twin turbo V8 will be used on a different model.
@@ultraguy8771 time for a engine swap
Imagine an LC500 competition version. A sub 3 second 0-60 and some weight savings on an LC500 would be glorious.
This reminds me of the "if my grandma had wheels, she'd be a bike" quote 😂
I don't think you can make it go sub 3 seconds with less than 700hp or/and slicks. LC500 is asking for a supercharger kit. Too bad no one came out with one still.
1:04 A foreign exchange student in Red shows up to upstage the established older fleet? Asuka vs Misato right here 😅👍
Yeah I’m going home in the LC500 every single day. And I love the Supra, but it ain’t no LC500 in style, substance, or sound.
That green is really starting to grow on me. In the flesh it looks stunning. Albeit in any color, LC is stunning.
Heard about the LC "Structural Blue"?.. Actually no blue pigment, but structures which reflect only blue light not unlike a butterfly's wings. Or some crap like that, Lexus did a promo vid on it. One of the most beautiful blue's I've ever seen.
@@bliglum isn’t that how colors work anyway? Lol
Can you do a drag race between lexus lfa vs toyota supra
The fact that I see a LC every day and have always wanted one, but have a Supra that is tuned makes me feel better seeing this lol
Once you have the momentum Nikola : heavy breathing intensifies*
1:04 “The foreign exchange student” is the German girl visiting Japan and piloting the Red machine 😉
I'm loving that deep green. Might paint mt 300zx in that.
Lotus is bringing the Lotus Esprit and it looks stunning! Can’t wait for it and see how it competes with these two
I love the SUPRA! Amazing car
you mean the Z4?
Isn't your super really a BMW said the guy with the golf R lol
Wow, that Supra is a little beast!
both of these cars are awesome
can you do the same race but with Rc5.0?
Even though james won, in the comments That V8 🔥🔥🔥 So probably thomas won the race
I'm super shocked with the outcome. Never thought it would lose any of the races
My lord is that LC beautiful! Work of art! Absolutely gorgeous! Supra's fast.
not many people cross shop a LC500 and a supra. but cool video
