Spanish Hottie Takes Lexus LC 500 to Meet an F-18 Fighter Jet

A real race between the Lexus RC 500 and the fighter jet would have been nice, but as long as we get to see a hot chick wearing tight pants getting into a low car, we can't complain. After making its debut at the Detroit Auto Show in January, the fanciest car Lexus has built since the LFA is on its European tour and had time to mingle with the locals in Madrid.

We are no closer to finding out if the RC 500 can cure boredom and the hole in the ozone layer at the same time, but we can tell you the name of the actress. She is Mar Saura, which sounds a lot like a mission in Starcraft II.

Believe it or not, Mar Saura is 40 years old, yet she still fills out a lingerie set as well as any VS or SI model even after having two children. Her wardrobe collection is also quite impressive, as she goes from office suit to lingerie, to evening dress, to lace summer dress in a matter of seconds. The outfit she settles on eventually includes leather pants and a fitted military red jacket, which she may see as being perfect for her date with the flyboy.

One of the Spanish Air Force's many F-18 jets stationed in Torrejon makes a short appearance next to the Lexus coupe. But like we said in the beginning, a race would have been nice.

The LC 500 is a halo car for Lexus, the best that the Japanese know how to build right now. Underneath the hood is the same 5.0-liter V8 engine you get in the RC F. But the placement is much lower and in line with the mid-engined mentality, plus they've used a brand new 10-speed automatic and changed some of the components to aluminum or carbon fiber.

The bad news is that this is said to be a 2018 model that will come out roughly during the winter of 2017. While you wait, you might also want to know that there's an LC 500h model as well. The Multi-Stage Hybrid system drops a couple of cylinders down to a V6 and adds a lithium-ion battery pack. Oddly, it also gets rid of six full gears, making it a 4-speed. In our book, that's actually a good thing, and so is this Spanish video.
