Aerodynamic kit + Optimized V8 engine! Tom's Racing modified Lexus LC is so stunning?

Tom's Racing releases Lexus LC tuning render

Core upgrade to custom coilover suspension system

Improves handling performance while maintaining daily comfort

【PCauto】The Lexus LC Tom's Edition, launched by the famous Japanese tuning brand Tom's Racing, has drawn considerable attention due to its unique upgrade approach.

Next, let's take a look at the highlights of the modified Lexus LC and see how it injects a sporty essence while retaining the original factory style.

Elegant and Sporty Exterior Details

Tom's Racing has not altered the classic design of the Lexus LC but has enhanced its style through subtle adjustments.

The spindle grille at the front has been redesigned, and the front bumper features newly added large triangular air intakes and a sporty front lip, which lowers the visual center of gravity and optimizes cooling performance.

The side profile retains the classic flowing lines of the LC, and the low-slung convertible body is complemented by Tom's exclusive TWF03 silver-grey metallic wheels, achieving a harmonious texture between the ivory white body and the wheels.

Additionally, lowering the vehicle's height can enhance cornering support and high-speed stability. The subtle addition of a small rear wing effectively stabilizes high-speed airflow without being ostentatious.

Upgraded V8 Engine and Chassis

If the aerodynamic kit represents the external sporty signature of Tom's Edition, then the fine-tuning of the engine and chassis form the core of its performance capabilities.

In terms of the power system, Tom's Racing has not adopted an aggressive turbocharging solution but has optimized the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 engine (2UR-GSE) originally equipped in the Lexus LC.

The core parameters remain unchanged after modification, but during actual driving, the power output does not have the abruptness of turbo lag, and at high speeds, it can produce a rich engine roar.

The chassis has also been simultaneously upgraded, retaining the front double-wishbone and rear multi-link suspension structure. This setup allows for a balance between handling and comfort on urban roads.

Additionally, although the 21-inch wheels slightly increase unsprung mass, their multi-spoke design ensures effective brake cooling.

The interior continues Lexus LC’s luxurious style

The aerodynamic body kit and power tuning together define the sporty attributes of Tom's Edition, while the interior, as the area directly interacted with by passengers, does not blindly pursue sporty modifications. Instead, it optimizes details while maintaining the luxurious style.

Currently, the modified Tom Edition continues the high-quality luxury cockpit layout typical of the Lexus LC. Referring to the standard version model, the interior is highly likely to use a large amount of premium materials such as leather and Alcantara.

And combined with Tom's Racing's customization logic for other Lexus models like the LX and LM, the Tom Edition might incorporates exclusive brand insignias, enhancing the cabin's sense of luxury and level of customization.

Products Matched for Mature Users to Broaden Kit Applicability

With comprehensive upgrades to its exterior, performance, and interior, Tom's Edition forms a clear product positioning. It maintains the innate elegance of the Lexus LC while introducing sporty elements through detailed modifications. This perfectly meets the needs of users who seek driving pleasure but prefer a low-profile drive.

Then compared to similarly priced models like the BMW 8 Series and Mercedes-AMG GT, the core advantages of the Tom's Edition lie in the unique smoothness of its naturally aspirated engine, the craftsmanship of Lexus, and the exclusive personalization genes of Tom's Racing.

Finally the official also stated that Tom's Edition modification kit will be applied to multiple models such as Lexus GX, LX, LM in the future, providing more personalized exterior options for more products and further expanding the market coverage of modification kits.
