There really does not seem to be a need for Lexus to try and sell their hot new coupe, the LC 500, because the damn thing is so pretty it will sell itself. But still, the Spanish branch of the car maker decided to have a little fun with their marketing budget and came up with a promotional video for Lexus LC 500 which seems like the realization of the ultimate male fantasy.
What we have here is a gorgeous Lexus LC 500, the equally gorgeous Spanish actress Maria Saura – quite possibly the hottest 40-year-old broad this side of the Atlantic – and a fighter jet. The only thing lacking in this ad is some beer, but it still appeals big time to our primal male instincts. The problem is, it makes us want a Maria more than we want a Lexus…
In case this promo video has convinced you to buy a Lexus LC 500, it comes in two variants including a 5.0 liter V8 model with 467 HP and 389 lb.-ft. of torque, and a hybrid model boasting the firm’s advanced Multi Stage Hybrid System with a new lightweight and compact electric motor and a lithium-ion battery. Power goes to the rear wheels via a newly developed 10-speed automatic transmission, and while the car’s performance figures rival that of its European rivals, you cannot expect the same poise and delicacy of handling from the Japanese car. Who cares, though, when the it looks so good.
