Few motor car colour schemes please the TG office as much as green and tan. And few car layouts titillate us much as a front-mounted nat-asp V8 driving only the axle behind it. So you can understand we"ve all been in quite a state since discovering this special edition Lexus LC500, despite its slightly cloying name. The 2020 Inspiration Series may have a title more befitting of a new herbal tea or scented candle, but it"s a green, tan, nat-asp V8, rear-drive coupe. The performance car recipe has apparently been completed. But while this may be a car with an ear-splitting engine note and a propensity for skids, Lexus reckons its inspirational makeover makes it more grown up. "This new limited-production LC aims to evoke a more refined, mature coupe," we"re told. Good luck making us act mature with 471bhp spinning the rear wheels.
