More Photos of the 2014 Lexus IS F Convertible Test Mule

Posted by Kevin on July 17th, 2012

There’s more spy photos of the next-generation Lexus IS F convertible development mule — here’s a few from Autoblog showing the test car on the Nürburgring:

Autoweek.nl also has a clearer photo of the mule’s undercarriage:

I remain skeptical of an actual IS F convertible being released any time soon — rather, I now think it’s a coupe disguised as a convertible. Still, at this point, it’s all guesswork anyway.

 I'm guessing it's a test mule for the production LF-LC... but I could be wrong.

It's most certainly a new IS(F?) coupe. The convertible is the closest thing to a coupe that they have now so that's what they are using.

It's definitely a coupe, we know that but if you look at the side details and the grille to the rear you can see some current F features on the current ISF. Since this is the ISC they're probably going to create an ISCoupe and possibly an ISCoupe F/FSport. We'll see!

If you want to sell convertibles, than make a convertible. Lexus has to make a soft top convertible. Hard top convertibles don't sell. Convertible owners want a soft top not a HARD TOP. Look at the dismal number of convertibles sold by Lexus and Infiniti. Compare that to the number of convertibles sold by BMW, Audi, and Mercedes. The difference is a soft top convertible. Toyota's Solara Convertible are still prized by convertible owners. Make a soft top convertible and you will outsell BMW, Audi, and Mercedes !

    Soft tops suck.  They rip, tear, stretch, they don't block road noise and they generate their own noise at speed.

    Please tell Mercedes, Audi, Porsche, Bentley and others that soft tops sucks.

    I have no opinion on this, but this is an old post -- going to lock it up.
