The Lexus LC 500 was one of the cars that kept us dreaming long after we left the Detroit Auto Show. In many of our dreams, we saw the car in colors that different from the otherwise super shade of red displayed in Cobo Hall.
Well, the time has come for such dreams to become a reality, with a blue LC 500 having recently been spotted out in the wild. The grand tourer was shot by the folks over at motor.es while the car was out shooting for a commercial on Spain's Almeria coast.
We'll presume this is Lexus' Electric Blue. And we have to tell you that, to our eyes, this shade looks just as good on the big coup (yes, we do appreciate the two-plus-two status of the car) as the color we've seen in the metal.
Then again, when you need an overly trained eye to tell the production car from the LF-LC concept, it's no wonder the color is not that relevant. Speaking of which, we'll remind you the Japanese automaker has played this red-blue game before, with the concept mentioned above having been shown in both versions back in the day.
The spotting episode becomes even more interesting when you think about the fact that, officially speaking, the LC 500 hasn't set foot on the Old Continent yet.
The European public will be able to get up close and personal with Lexus' new flagship at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
However, the moment we're holding our breath for is the one that will see the automaker expand the LC's engine range. While the naturally-aspirated V8 delivering 477 is tempting, nowadays such an engine is far from enough when it comes to the lavish status of such a vehicle.
We're not worried, though, since Lexus is well aware of this, with its engineers currently working on the matter.
