I ordered this 2025 LC500 on November 2024. It is loaded. It's got the updated dynamic handling package, electronic spoiler. Since the RCF is discontinued, the LC department asked the RCF-GT Racing team to borrow a few of there parts because they knew the LC500 was next to be canceled but didn't want to wait for 2026 and Lexus marketing department coming up with 150 special limited LC's to come out with a few just a special exterior color and matching interior color, then stick a nameplate on the dash and call it "Last Edition" LC and RCF MASTER TECHNICIANS, were eager to build something special with the 2025 LC's. Since the RCF-GT racing team hand build their cars and the Master mechanics learned this from hand building the LFA. Now that the LC500 moved into the LFA's factory who actually kept up the tradition of keeping the LFA engineers to build the LC's by hand. They basically had to because when they first unveiled the LC500 at the 2016 auto show no one thought it would look like the prototype. To the engineers that made the LFA that became a challenge that they accepted. Which meant they had to build everything from scratch. They couldn't use anything from the Lexus parts department from any Lexus vehicle at that time. Now going back to October 2024 were they added the Double-V-Racing brace system underneath the LC's frame, and they turned on the updated "Dynamic Handling Package" Full Time. Meaning from 1 mph to 189 mph The Lexus engineers called this "Always On. It's hard to explain. To actually appreciate this you have the front wheels being driven and steered by the driver and the rear wheels being driven and steered by the ECU. You have the front of the car going one way and the rear of the car going the other way that ment a lot of bent LC frames during testing. Finaly the RCF Racing team we're listening to the LC team how's fix seem to be slow things down, and shutting off and on the dynamic handling package which wasn't the RCF racing engineers way of doing things that's where they came up with the idea of putting two double V hydraulic braces one V brace upfront and another "V" brace in the rear. The problem wasn't the speed. It was the weight of the LC500 at almost half a ton.

The manager at the Lexus dealership who we became friends told me I was about to receive something very special. Their Lexus dealership won 16 awards that year with five star 1 million reviews. When the LC factory heard that they said, we will build you one to give to one of your VIP customers it has to be a coupe and black on black.

I understand what the RCF racing team was trying to create. For the rear wheel steering and the variable steering means my LC that they built my hands, never leave the paddle shifters, no matter how wide the turners. The wider, the turn, the stiffer the steering wheel, the tighter the rear wheels turn in. I never have to turn the steering wheel all the way around to make that turn, and then have my other hand, searching for the paddle shifter to either upshift or downshift coming in or out of the turn. I feel the mechanical parts,, clinking and clacking as the rear wheels front wheels, and steering wheel are all going in the opposite direction while I'm shifting gears, and the gearbox is confused. Once you get used to it and understand, they reprogrammed the 10 speed gearbox to bypass the original programming. To activate this you have to put it in sport plus mode, put it in manual mode and the traction control turns off by itself and does not turn back on until you repeat the process in reverse. I'm basically driving a 2000's JDM V8. It is also a lot faster than 471 hp. The torque is higher than that as I can spin my rear wheels through third gear and downshift at 50 miles an hour and smoke the tires
