Video: The Lexus LC Convertible Concept

Posted by Kevin on January 11th, 2019

No Lexus debut is complete without that first video showcasing the new vehicle, so here’s our first true introduction to the Lexus LC Convertible Concept:

(One of the most appealing aspects of new Lexus LC Convertible Concept is the idea of hearing the 471 horsepower naturally aspirated V8 in the open air. Thanks to this video, we’re one step closer to the real thing.)

This is every bit as stunning as I'd hoped, and it looks very production-ready; no weird holographic center console or anything.

Thanks - I was wondering the look especially with the rear side windows.

I did see renderings in Car&Driver that was a soft top but the angle of the roof was so odd it felt like a Ford Model T.

Sounds like the Car and Driver rendering was photoshopped by an artist they hired, as opposed to being anything official from Lexus.

I was very intrigued as to where in Car and Driver those top-up renderings appeared. I searched both their website and their latest print issue, but didn't turn up anything. Then Infrared LC located those NetCarShow.com images you see above (which he posted in a separate thread that I merged into this one).

To be clear, Lexus only released a dozen official images of the LC Convertible Concept, each and every one of them top-down. They are the only ones to appear in the USA, Global and Japan Newsrooms, and in the Lexus Enthusiast news article. Those top-up renderings are obviously photoshopped versions of Images 07 and 08, and not official. It is unclear whether they were created by the folks at NetCarShow.com or aggregated by them and created by someone else.

Very interesting observation, I was also pondering about this as well since Lexus has never made a soft top convertible before.

Although I think a navy blue top would be pretty amazing.

This car is so desirable if they could somehow maintain the original top shape.

Also has anyone else realized that the interior metal trims and handles are now dark as opposed to the current light metallic trim?

Yes, just like the outside trims that have gone from gunmetal grey to black.
