LC Hokkaido Edition: special edition of the sporty LC Cabrio

Lexus presents a special edition of its flagship LC Cabrio special edition. Limited to 40 cars for Europe this year, the Hokkaido Edition combines a surprisingly dynamic exterior with gran turismo refinement.

The special edition takes its name and spirit from the island of Hokkaido in northern Japan. Famous for its volcanoes, it is also home to the Lexus Shibetsu proving ground, where incredible vehicles such as the LF-A super sports car were developed. The LC was also meticulously tuned there by Lexus' master 'Takumi' drivers.

Available in Nova white, the Hokkaido edition features 21-inch alloy wheels and an exclusive grille, LED headlights and 'afterburner-style' taillights. The Cabrio's roof features the option of an eye-catching red fabric.

Lexus engineers have imbued the car with a burning passion balanced by refinement that makes it the perfect car for relaxing on a road trip. This duality is reflected in the large black/dark red interior that reflects its volcanic history, with red dominating the driver's side and offset by the more relaxing black tone for the passenger area.

Renowned as a luxury tourist destination with its lush mountain woods and 'Onsen' spas, the Hokkaido region also stands out for its many impressive roads, which provided the canvas for the LC's dynamic qualities.

Powered by a high-revving 5.0-liter V8 petrol engine. This car perfectly embodies the Lexus Driving Signature spirit, its linear acceleration, driving and braking in tune and precisely with the driver's intentions. The Lexus LC Hokkaido Edition will go on sale in Europe in early May 2022.
