Lexus<\/a> has announced the 2022 LC 500<\/a> coupe, 500h hybrid<\/a> coupe and LC 500 Convertible<\/a>. The changes are as subtle here as they were on the LS 500<\/a>. The coupe’s suspension has been “optimized to enhance ground contact feel, linear steering response and steering effectiveness [at] high G,” we’re told, and that’s as close as we get to knowing what Lexus engineers did. After that, there are a few changes that could be spotted at ten feet. One is the Sport Package gaining a 21-inch forged alloy wheel to replace the 20-inch wheel for the 2021 LC 500 hardtop.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There’s another revision to the Sport Package thanks to Lexus introducing its Bespoke Build program, which will open up a new menu of performance and cosmetic options. The current LC 500 Coupe offers two Sport Packages, one with a glass roof, one with a carbon roof. From 2022, the weaved lid will only be available to Bespoke Build buyers, which starts with a coupe fitted with the carbon roof Sport Package and the All-Weather Package. The customization choices will get their own configurator page come November 17, laying out exclusive color<\/a> options like the Manhattenhenge interior and exclusive components like the carbon fiber<\/a> rear wing and 21-inch forged alloy wheels that were previously limited to the LC Inspiration Series. Each Bespoke Build will also come with an interior badge and a certificate of authenticity.<\/p>\n

On the droptop side, there’s been some additional suspension fiddling. On both coupe and convertible, the 11-strong color palette has been shaved to nine colors, Liquid Platinum and Obsidian going away.<\/p>\n

The 2022 LC 500 starts at $93,050 plus a $1,075 destination charge, for a total of $94,125, the convertible at $102,175 after destination, both unchanged for this year. The LC 500h<\/a> MSRP gets goosed a touch, increasing $1,440 to $100,125.<\/p>\n
