Just found this on YT:

 

I just saw that this morning as well. I have aways been impressed with this car. Having watched the vid I am even more impressed how it is assembled. I have to say I am quite proud to own one of these beauties.

 

It's probably the third time it's been posted here.

 

I'll post it again tomorrow... LOL

 

This factory tour video just reinforces the many reasons why I choose a new LC 500 convertible vs. buying a C8 Corvette (where higher production numbers = several quality problems). Also, I noticed a couple of the builds on the assembly line had what appeared to be orange brake calipers. Does anyone know if Lexus is now offering an option (through bespoke build I assume) to have different colored calipers from the factory? Not ready to trade my 2023 (with <5K miles yet) but just curious. Thanks!

 

Interestingly enough, I purchased a 2023 Corvette in December of 2022 (almost 2 year wait from order), and while it was everything I thought I wanted, I sold it this past August with the hopes of ordering my first ever Lexus. I first saw the LC about 6 years ago at the International Car Show and I was in awe of its beauty. Surprisingly, I have never seen one since on the road. So when I went in to my dealership this past Saturday to order my bespoke, they had a red convertible sitting in the showroom. I sat in it and just stared at it. What a piece of art!
As I went through the ordering process, there was no mention of different colored calipers other than the black ones. I will have mine powder coated if I decide to color-match them to the car. Now I wait to see if my order is accepted and ultimately built. I look forward to joining this great community.

 

I've owned three Corvettes in my past life ('59, '75 + '76) and I'm a huge fan. In fact, before I decided on a new LC 500 conv't, I tried in vain to order a new 2020 C8 from the local NC Chevy dealer and was told: 1) the wait was ~18+ months and 2) I should expect to pay ~$10K-12K over sticker (depending on config). I live in a small neighborhood in Cary, NC and there are 5 or 6 new C8's here and they are a common sight around town (although I keep thinking they look more like a McLaren from a distance). I love driving my new Lexus not just because it's unique, different and the best hand-built lux GT available for the $$$ but there are only a handful in the area (and none in cloudburst grey/toasted caramel/blk top except mine). I hope your order is accepted and you will be a new member of the LC family soon! Take care!

 

Being the owner of 2 Corvettes myself a C6 and C7 I got on the waitlist for C8 in Dec of 2020. I was told 8/12 mos for order acceptance + 8 weeks to build. At 15 mos with still no order date, my wife wanted to trade her RX in for a new one. I sat in an LC in the showroom and instantly knew I had to have one. It was a convertible and I prefered a coupe and the sticker was 114K which was a bit more than my Corvette order. Within 2 weeks an LC arrived, Certified coupe with 16k on the clock and a number about the same as my Corvette build needless to say goodbye C8. That was almost 3 years ago now and I still have to pinch myself that I own this car. For my criteria it is perfection and have not regretted my decision to cancel the C8 order

 

I had to wait about 20 months but was able to “only” pay MSRP. I haven’t looked back at selling mine (no complaints whatsoever with the car) and am so excited to hopefully have my LC order accepted.

 

What a beautiful example of a C8 - congrats! Hopefully you will get a chance to enjoy your new LC soon; two totally different driving experiences but both are great cars! (In fact, I'm thinking about picking up an E-Ray as a second to my LC convertible once availability opens up a bit more). Take care!

 

the description says it was the first time mainstream media did a factory tour. The video quality is terrible (for 2024 standards).
