• Lexus LC Tom’s Edition shrinks grille and adds visual tweaks.
  • Tom’s expands its Edition lineup to GX, LX, and LM models.
  • Lexus performance upgrades are currently in development.

Lexus may be teasing its electric future with the LFA Concept, but over at Tom’s Racing, the V8 era isn’t going quietly. The Japanese tuner has rolled out a new “Tom’s Edition” package for the LC coupe and convertible, aiming to give the existing model one more moment in the spotlight.

At the center of the update is a reworked front end that noticeably alters the car’s face. The custom bumper reduces the familiar spindle grille to a smaller, detached opening, while the lower intake stays wide and attention-seeking. New triangular side inlets sit beneath the headlights. Honestly, it feels like a downgrade, with shades of older Corolla-era Toyota design creeping in where they don’t belong.

Tom’s Racing insists that the vehicle “retains the spindle grille of the LC, while also blending it with the spindle body concept that Lexus has been promoting in recent years”. Reading between the lines, they’re likely referring to the hourglass-shaped lines at the front and rear.

The profile appears to be unchanged, with the exception of the new alloy wheels measuring 21 inches in diameter. The rear gains a new bumper extension with more body-colored trim, quad exhaust pipes, and a discreet diffuser, joined by a discreet lip spoiler.

Under the hood, the naturally aspirated V8 remains untouched, still delivering 471 hp (351 kW / 477 PS) and 540 Nm (398 lb-ft) of torque. Tom’s Racing is reportedly exploring performance upgrades, but they’ve ruled out any turbocharging.

Starting with the GX, the bodykit is inspired by trail running shoes, which explains the colorful accents and the rugged stance. It includes front and rear bumper extensions, wider fenders, hood inserts, and side skirts with integrated steps.

The interior has yet to be shown, but Tom’s Racing promised “sustainable materials, renewable energy, and circular design”. Highlights include the use of “deer skin that would otherwise be discarded”, combined with eco-friendly leather made of mushrooms.

The tuner is currently working on performance upgrades for the twin-turbo V6, and is considering different wheels and tires. Pricing will be announced on a later date.
