The Lexus LC 500 speeds past the naysayers to get to 'Yes'

Team One delivers a smoke-filled, epic debut for the sports coupe

Oh, the LF-LC concept car. Yes, yes, it’s very pretty, but production cars never live up to the hype. You’re going to drop a wrecking ball on it? Fine, it’s digital fakery.

Hold on, the LC 500? That’s the same car. Oooooh, no, it’s not. It’s real, and it’s beautiful. Don’t hurt it! Run away, you 467 horsepower, rear-wheel drive, crimson  angel! Step on it, man!

Sure, let’s take a look at it from all the standard oblique camera angles — it’s a joy to watch after that rapturous reveal.
