LF-LC concept car
LF-LC concept car
In 20 12, Lexus announced the true meaning of LF-LC concept car in north american auto show, and its appearance successfully explained what Lexus family GT sports car should look like. Angular headlights and spindle-shaped grille make this futuristic product more like a beautiful work of art.
Length * width * height? 4700 * 1920 * 1345 mm
The wheelbase is 2870 mm.
At present, this bright red painted LC500h comes from GA-L platform and is based on LF-LC concept car. The design language of the appearance is almost exactly the same as the concept version, except for some small details. Triangular headlights are also the most difficult design of the car on the market at present. The difficulty of overall mold opening and the degree of integration with the body are amazing.
The front grille of the spindle is made into a style of narrow top and wide bottom, and the Lei Jia logo in the middle can't help emitting a faint elegant blue color, as if to tell you that it is mixed-race when it leaves the factory. Combined with the raised ridge line above the cover, it also injects a sense of strength into it. There are airflow channels on the front and side of the car, in order to reduce wind resistance, reduce turbulence intervention and improve handling stability.
The side lines of the whole body are more elegant than simple. The hidden door handle, carbon fiber roof and 2 1 inch handsome running shoes all make this sports version of LC500h more fashionable. The cockpit seems to have been slimmed down, in fact, because the designer widened the front and rear of LC, in order to make it look fuller and more attractive as a whole!
The petal-shaped wheel hub is not only pleasing to the eye, but also exactly the same as the concept car. The side window behind the B-pillar creates the visual effect of the suspended roof. At first glance, is it a bit like your own classic LFA? Seeing this, you may regret me, because in the hearts of most car fans, LFA can't be compared with LC. Although the power and exhaust sound are not as high as LFA, it sounds good, but in terms of shape design, I think the value of LC can still be equal to LFA.
The style of the rear is not disappointing. In order to echo the shape of the front of the car, the design of three-dimensional corner taillights still maintains a difficult manufacturing process. When it is lit at night, the recognition is also high, and you will never forget it when you look at it. The tail wing that can automatically rise at a speed of 80km/h can not only enhance the downforce, but also be particularly eye-catching. The double exhaust layout is decorated with electroplated frame, which makes it emphasize the sports attribute without losing its elegance.
The trunk opening is not small, the lateral width and depth are good, but the overall depth is slightly shallow. It is ok to put a boarding box, backpack and other items every day, but if you want to put some big things, I still advise you to give up this idea.
The moment I got into the car, I repeatedly lamented Lexus' insistence on material selection and interior materials. Fine workmanship and delicate touch are exactly what Lexus brand has been advocating and pursuing. Horn LCD instrument supports horizontal movement function, and can also change the style of tachometer according to different driving modes. Not only interesting, but also distinctive.
The grip of the steering wheel is very thick, and the feel of the paddles is also in place, but the overall size is slightly larger. It would be better if it could be made smaller or replaced with a flat-bottomed steering wheel that highlights movement. The shift lever, air conditioning button and buttons around the handwriting board are all exquisitely made.
Looking at the clock ticking on the co-pilot's dashboard, when an elegant music came from Mark levinson's speaker, it was so comfortable and soothing.
The front seats are well wrapped and supported, and the padding of the whole seat is also very soft. But the space in the back row is really limited. Although it is a two-door four-seat GT sports car, it is impossible for adults to sit in the back seat. It is more appropriate to sit with children or put a bag.
Let's talk about the appearance and interior for the time being. Press the blue start button and engage the forward gear. I want to drive it away quietly. The LC, which runs completely by electricity at low speed, is extremely quiet. At the moment when the engine was awakened by the gradual increase of the speed, the sound of current and exhaust successfully merged together, resulting in a fascinating sound.
The steering wheel has moderate steering force and is very friendly to most female drivers. In addition, the stroke of the brake pedal is also very short. You can obviously feel the brakes working when you step on one foot. Compared with many models with long brake pedal travel, it is definitely a sports car that can be easily controlled without too much adaptation.
However, the overall performance of the suspension tends to be tough, and the subtle vibration of the road surface can still be detected. Moreover, because the wheel hub is too large, the tire noise will still be somewhat obvious when driving on the road. However, these small shortcomings only represent my personal views. After all, Yan value is stronger than anything else.
When driving on urban roads, I always choose comfort mode, which is really intoxicating. But when I led it to the mountain road, I couldn't help but choose Sport+ as the driving mode. At this time, it began to become extremely restless, the speed increased, and the throttle became lighter. It seems to be ready to rush out, just wait for my command.
Although you can feel the speed increase by stepping on the accelerator deeply, you are really ready for that feeling of pushing your back. The combination of 3.5 LV6 engine (299 horsepower) and motor (60 horsepower) produces only 359 horsepower, which is really not outstanding in the sports car lineup of the same level.
But in fact, LC also has a 5.0V8 car with 477 horsepower and 540 Nm of power performance, which can definitely satisfy your desire for speed and passion. Unfortunately, due to various external reasons, this V8 LC has not been introduced into the China market. Having said that, although the power of this LC500h is not strong, it is beautiful, easy to drive and fuel-efficient!
Speaking of easy driving, I want to emphasize here that this gearbox can simulate 10 speed. 10AT consists of ECVT (combination of planetary gear and motor) and a group of 4ats. ECVT provides three fixed transmission ratios and forms nine gears with the first three gears of 4AT. When 4AT is in the fourth gear, it forms the highest transmission ratio in the whole system. During this week's driving, I was deeply impressed, especially Lu Yu's shift smoothness and traffic jam crawling at low speed. Its smoothness can really be praised by five stars.
The front and rear suspension of the vehicle is relatively short, and the overall layout of the engine is relatively backward. This design also makes its overall center of gravity very low and its handling stability more in place. Although the suspension is a little hard, the roll is well suppressed when cornering at high speed, and the follow-up of the rear is also very flexible, which can be regarded as a very psychic little guy.
The lithium-ion battery pack of LC is placed between the back seat and the trunk, and the overall volume is reduced by 20% compared with LS. The whole battery pack consists of 84 cells, which can generate the maximum voltage of 310.8v. ..
After reading the description of LC500h above, why don't we sum up what kind of consumers are buying this car? First of all, we must have a high pursuit of appearance and appearance. After all, Yan value is the most favorable way to get closer to each other; In addition, the interior atmosphere, configuration in place, the appearance is also appreciated by others. The place where I have the most contact is the cockpit; In addition, there is not much pursuit of motivation, and it is elegant and soothing on weekdays, but it can also meet the needs when it needs passion. A sports car is enough.
