Lexus LC (2017) 500 472 hp — premium petrol engine of the passenger segment of the Toyota Motor Corporation group (Япония, 1937). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 472 to 495 hp (+23 hp, +5%) and torque from 536 to 556 Nm (+20 Nm).

Lexus shares platforms and engines with Toyota's premium segment. Lexus is the premium sub-brand of the Toyota Motor Corporation, launched in 1989. F is Lexus's performance division (LFA, RC F, IS F). Denso is Toyota's in-house ECU supplier (a locked platform). Toyota's petrol range spans naturally aspirated Dynamic Force engines and turbo units for the GR series. The GR Supra uses the BMW B58 straight-six, an unusual turbo engine for Toyota.
The GR Supra with the BMW B58 is a segment of its own, handled with BMW tooling. The GR models (Yaris GR, Supra) have a growing tuning culture. The Denso ECU is a locked Toyota platform, and most models do not respond to standard chip tuning. The top Toyota GR engines (Supra, Yaris GR) mark the ceiling of the Japanese performance segment.
