How many LC 500 are there?
Two main LC 500 configurations are offered: the LC 500 Coupe and the LC 500 Convertible. If your question concerns total built to date, Lexus does not publish a single global production figure for LC 500 units; the company reports numbers by market and model year rather than a cumulative total. This article explains the count and how it relates to the broader LC family.
Two LC 500 variants in the current lineup
The LC 500 family centers on two body styles that carry the LC 500 badge. Both share the same V8 engine and core chassis, but differ in roof configuration and interior packaging. The LC 500h hybrid sits in the broader LC family but is not counted as LC 500 in typical marketing.
What are the LC 500 variants?
- LC 500 Coupe
- LC 500 Convertible
Although the two LC 500 variants are closely related, each offers its own cabin and roof design. The Coupe is the traditional fixed-roof version, while the Convertible features a power-operated roof and a different trunk layout to accommodate it.
Notes on trims and other LC models
Within each LC 500 variant, buyers can choose trims such as the F Sport, which adds sportier styling and suspension tuning. The LC 500h remains a separate hybrid model in the Lexus LC family and is not counted among LC 500 variants.
Production totals and availability
On production totals, there is no single figure publicly published by Lexus for global LC 500 units. Production and sales figures are typically reported by region and model year, and may be compiled by third-party data sources. Here is what is generally known:
- The LC 500 Coupe launched first in 2017 as the baseline LC 500 model.
- The LC 500 Convertible joined the lineup a couple of years later, expanding the LC 500 family to a second body style.
- The LC 500h is the hybrid variant and, while part of the LC family, is not part of the LC 500 count.
For exact numbers, consult Lexus investor relations materials or market-specific filings; those sources provide the clearest picture of annual production and sales but do not typically publish a comprehensive global total for LC 500 units alone.
Summary
In summary, the LC 500 lineup comprises two primary configurations for the gasoline V8 model: the LC 500 Coupe and the LC 500 Convertible. The broader Lexus LC family also includes the LC 500h hybrid, but that variant is not counted as LC 500 in common usage. Lexus does not publish a single global production total for LC 500 units; the available numbers are broken out by market and year. If you need a precise tally, you would need to consolidate regional figures from official reports.
