The LC470 is light, stiff, powerful, fast and perfectly balanced convertible sports racing car.

A one-piece carbon fiber body fits the tubular steel chassis like a glove. Independent suspension all round smoothes the ride yet allows the car to pull 1.3 lateral G through high speed curves and tight corners. Depending on the choice of GM motors mated to a close-ratio Tremec gearbox, the LC470 offers 0-60 in 3.4 seconds, a standing quarter mile in 9.1 secs, 150 mph over the mile line and top speeds above 180 mph. Performance and handling of a true supercar at prices starting well below $100k

With an eye to comfort and control, brakes, clutch, gas pedals and the gearshift position can be set to suit the driver. The LC470 can be comfortably driven for long distances by people up to 6' 7", even with the soft-top in place!

In race trim, the LC470 beat all-comers to take the 2009 NASA Unlimited Series and finished sixth overall with a class win in its first attempt at the 2000 mile Carrera Panamericana endurance road race. The same car can be safely driven around town or on country roads with room enough for two people, their luggage and a couple of golf bags.
