2021 Lexus LC 500 Inspiration Series returns with an all-black ensemble Alvin Reyes - Jan 13, 2021, 7:18am CST The 2021 Lexus LC 500 is entering the new year with a new and darker-themed Inspiration Series. Limited to only 100 units, the LC 500 Inspiration Series is only available in Obsidian Black paint, but Lexus has added a couple of performance-enhancing features to sweeten the deal. First, let’s talk about that magnificent rear spoiler. Lexus claims the new wing (and the 2021 LC 500 Inspiration Series in general) results from a partnership between air race pilot Yoshihide Muroya and Lexus engineers. In 2017, Muroya won the Red Bull Air Race World Championships in a Lexus-prepped Zinko Edge 540 aerobatic aircraft.
