In appearance, it seems there is an all-out overhauled when compared with the existing Lexus coupe. Especially the triple LED on the front that became the differentiator. But the congenital Lexus grille will never be left to be the basic DNA of a Lexus car. As qouted of Motortrend on October 30, 2017, the 2018 Lexus LC 500 packs a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V-8 engine good for 471 hp and 379 lb-ft of torque, no wonder if the coupe hitting 100 kph from a standstill in 4.8 seconds.

The concept receives more blatant cues from the movie. The fictional metal vibranium is said to be used in the powertrain to provide extra boost and in the exterior paint to make the car immune to bullets.
