2018 Lexus LC 500 Coupe Road Driving Scenes (Color: Yellow & Caviar) HD

NEW MULTI-LINK SUSPENSION DESIGN
The layout of new front and rear suspension systems for the LC focuses on achieving excellent vehicle response and greater steering feel, from the moment the steering wheel is turned, supporting the “even sharper” quality Lexus sought for the coupe. At the same time, a higher degree of ride comfort was a priority, combined with stability to help give the driver peace of mind.

The new high mount front suspension system has an optimal arm design to secure the required level of steering feedback. Conversely, the rear suspension has a low mount configuration, with precisely defined arm locations to achieve high-stability steering characteristics.

Double ball joints are featured on each of the two upper and two lower control arms, allowing for control of the smallest movements from driver inputs and the road surface. This arrangement helps optimize the suspension geometry and create more precise steering response with better initial effort. Contributing to the LC’s weight-savings, the upper control arms are made of lightweight forged aluminium.

The driver can appreciate the effectiveness of the LC’s suspension designs in the car’s immediate response at initial turn-in, with the tires quickly developing lateral force, helping to deliver stability, controllability and ride comfort.

Run-flat tires
The specification of run-flat tires contributes to the LC’s efficient packaging, weight-saving qualities, optimum weight distribution and dynamic performance.

By avoiding the need to accommodate a spare wheel, Lexus has been able to save weight and free up space to locate the sub (or auxiliary) battery in the luggage compartment, helping achieve the required front/rear weight distribution. At the same time, a larger loadspace could be designed, without compromising the coupe’s swooping profile.

The quality and performance of run-flat tires have improved significantly as manufacturers make important advances in the application of new design, tread patterns and material compounds, giving both high performance capabilities and everyday ride quality, durability and safety. Improved resistance has also been achieved, allowing the tires to make a contribution to the vehicle’s overall fuel efficiency.

The tires’ increased lateral stiffness complements the LC’s highly rigid suspension, while vertical stiffness has been reduced to favor ride comfort.

Tire sizes are 245/45RF20 front and 275/40RF20 rear with 20-inch wheels, and 245/40RF21 front and 275/35RF21 rear with 21-inch wheels.
