Lexus Europe has revealed a special LC500h Matte Prototype for the 2019 Barcelona motor show, and it's anything but subtle. The matte-finish Space Orange exterior paint is, in the company's words, "another example of the brand's effort to keep innovating, this time using special colours with original textures". Lexus says the finish is "inspired by the orange tones that can be seen when looking towards the sun in clear sunsets".

Lexus has announced details of its new LC Morphic Blue Limited Edition, which brings a unique blue colour scheme inside and out amongst other special appointments. Starting at $192,500 before on-road costs, the special-edition coupe is $2500 more than the 'standard' version, and is available in both LC500 V8 and LC500h V6 hybrid variants.
