Drop-top Lexus set for the rising sun
LC Convertible here in time for summer
It’s got the look
You know how great the Lexus LC coupe looks? Next summer we get a convertible version that, miraculously, preserves what’s good about the coupe while also looking fantastic with the roof down.
Open, wide
The fabric roof has four layers, comes in di erent hues and folds with ‘class-leading’ (but unspecified) rapidity. To make room to stow the folded roof the boot is higher and wider than the coupe’s.
Take that, nature
On a chilly morning you’ll be glad of the neck heaters in the quilted, perforated leather seats. It’s part of a climate control system programmed to compensate automatically for the roof being down.
Sounds like a V8. Is a V8
A digital sound generator hums ‘sensual engine intake sounds’, and there are active exhaust valves to o er rortiness on demand. In calmer moments, active noise cancellation promises coupe-like refinement.
