The LC Convertible from Lexus is actually a direct preview of an
upcoming production model, according to the automaker. The LC Convertible Concept has
already been described as an LC in its most breathtaking form, “blending all
the best aspects of the original Coupe with the dynamic design of an open-air
convertible,” said Lexus chief designer, Tadao Mori.
It’s stowed in a special compartment behind the rear
seats, actually. Also, it’s a soft-top rather than a folding hard-top, which
should help keep the extra weight down to a minimum.
Compared to the fixed-roof version, the LC
Convertible sits 5 mm closer to the road. Meanwhile, the wheelbase
length is the same at 2,870 mm, as is overall width and length,
rated at 1,920 mm and 4,770 mm respectively.
As for any special touches present on this show car,
there’s black exterior trim, new 22-inch wheels, and of course the white
leather interior with yellow contrast stitching. It’s the exact same spec
unveiled in the press release a few days back.
