The LC convertible’s soft top roof flows with the same elegance as that of the LC coupé, with a supporting frame that is finely concealed. When open, the roof folds away under an exquisitely moulded tonneau cover that perfectly complements the car’s lines.

Two hours from Tokyo on the Shinkansen bullet train, the Motomachi Plant is where Lexus handcrafted the LFA – one of the most heralded supercars ever built – and the facility that now manufactures the new LC Convertible

The LC Convertible’s 5.0-litre V8 petrol engine is hand-tuned by a Takumi master craftsman to provide an incredible driving experience with seemingly endless acceleration and power. Tested to the limit at the Nürburgring 24-hour Race, it delivers power via a close-ratio Direct Shift 10-speed automatic transmission.

Whether you’re driving across the Alps or along a breezy coastal road, Climate Concierge on the new LC Convertible not only adapts the climate when you raise or lower the roof, it automatically increases the cabin temperature if you accelerate with the roof down.

At the wheel of the new LC Convertible, it is reassuring to know that you’re driving in one of the safest cars ever built, equipped with the very latest Lexus Safety System +, which helps prevent rear-end collisions, lane departures and collisions involving pedestrians.
