Lexus brings Black Inspiration pack to its LC, ditches its chrome

As its name suggests, the Lexus LC Black Inspiration ditches every bit of chrome detailing for either satin or satin or gloss black finishes. This is applied on the spindle grille, door mirror caps, head and rear light cluster surrounds plus headlight cleaners. ‍

Building on the Sport Pack trim, the LC Black Inspiration model adds 10-way power-adjustable front seats upholstered in semi-aniline leather, head-up display, card key and a bespoke 13-speaker Mark Levinson premium surround system. 

Other exterior bits and tweaks include a fixed rear spoiler, 21” five-spoke forged alloy wheels plus carbon fibre roof and scuff plates as per the Sport Plus Pack. For enhanced performance ability, the LC Black Inspiration is also bolstered with a Torsen limited-slip differential, dynamic rear steering as well as Variable Gear Ratio Steering. 

Safety systems include; smart entry, Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert. Features such as heated steering wheel and front seat heating and ventilation can also be had. 

The Black Inspiration is available for both the hybridised LC 500h and V8 LC 500.
