LC - THE MOST TORSIONALLY RIGID LEXUS EVER

LC - THE MOST TORSIONALLY RIGID LEXUS EVER

Date: 2017-02-24

The all-new Lexus LC coupe is the most torsionally rigid vehicle the luxury marque has ever produced, according to the flagship car's global chief engineer Koji Sato.

Mr Sato said the LC featured levels of rigidity that surpassed even that of the limited production LFA V10-powered supercar. "The LC is 60 per cent more rigid than the current Lexus GS performance sedan, which results in sharper and more precise, linear handling," Mr Sato said.

"In fact, the LC goes further with its world-class rigidity resulting in a smoother and more lateral level of performance."

Mr Sato added that the LFA development programme had played a major role in influencing key construction elements of the LC. "You will find the carbon fibre, composite technology we developed for the LFA in the lightweight parts we have designed for the LC, such as the compression-moulded sheets of re-impregnated carbon fibre used for the inner door panels," he said.
