So does yours have the auxiliary radiator?

Every LC500 has the cooling block. But the additional radiator on the side is supposedly on ‘24 inspiration.

that extra radiator on the side is the optional extra transmission cooler by adding 92400yen. not unique to the inspiration edition. you can check out the Lexus jp website.
the S package content in Japan and US seems different.

LC103 is right. The Japanese market provides that AT oil cooler as an option. (Oh I hate this kind of difference among markets)

Will have a look at mine when it shows up in a month or so...or so

Asked about getting Red Calibres but that wasn't going to happen from the factory

So it seems like this is not available in the US even if it’s an IS.

Finally received my 2024. Based on this, it looks like mine has the transmission cooler.

Thanks for posting. What config did you get? Inspiration, coupe or convertible? Dynamic handling?

Your image is the standard transmission cooler all LC500's have. The additional auxiliary cooler sits behind that passenger side bumper airflow slit. Look back through the thread and you will see that image and location of the auxiliary cooler. I thought the same thing with mine, however I was wrong as well.

If you have it, you can see it through the airflow slit without a flash light. There will be no doubt if you see one. Its like a little radiator with radiator style coils.

I haven’t found actual pictures of the aux trans radiator.
Member with ‘24 IS convertible could not find it on his. I think this might just be a ‘24 IS coupe thing.
Lexus should make this more clear.
