Lexus has presented a limited edition of
the LC 500 Convertible in Europe, which is dubbed the Regatta. Set to go on
sale this fall, it boasts yachting-inspired looks inside and out, thanks to a
new special color combo. Finished in Structural Blue, a shade originally
developed for the fixed-roof LC, the LC 500 Convertible Regatta Edition has a
Marine Blue folding soft top, and that is where the exterior changes end.
Open the door and you will see white as
the dominant color, found on the headlining, door cards, lower parts of the
dashboard, center console, steering wheel, seats, pillars and so on. The dark
blue shade featured on the upper part of the dashboard, seats and door panels
provides a nice contrast. Pricing will be announced in due course.
Toyota’s luxury car brand has released a
generous photo gallery depicting the new special edition from nearly every
angle, but before moving on to it, we will remind you that the Euro-spec model
has also gained the Blazing Carnelian exterior paint finish for the 2021 model
year, which is offered with the Manhattan Orange interior.
The changes have stopped there for the car
on the other side of the ocean, but in the United States, the 2021 LC 500
boasts more upgrades, including revised suspension and transmission. It also
gets Android Auto, alongside the already available Apple CarPlay, as well as
new colors and wheels, which should make it more appealing to buyers.
Speaking of which, the LC 500 has an MSRP
of US$ 92,950, whereas the LC 500 Convertible bumps the price to at least US$ 101,500. The LC 500h and LC 500 Convertible Inspiration Series start at US$ 97,510 and US$ 119,800, respectively.
