Lexus is to extend its exquisite LC flagship Coupe range, with confirmation that a dramatically styled open-top version is to go into production in the near future.
Visitors to this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed in the U.K. got to witness the world debut of an LC Convertible prototype in action, as it appeared on the famous hill course. The new production luxury sports car is expected to broaden Lexus' luxury lifestyle offerings, broadening the LC line-up and giving a sense of completeness to the brand's flagship models.
The LC Coupe has already become established as one of the most sought-after and internationally acclaimed models Lexus has ever created, thanks to its combination of striking design, fine craftsmanship, and exhilarating performance. The potential evolution of the range to include a convertible was signposted at the North American International Auto Show in January, where Lexus revealed the LC Convertible Concept.
The concept's design goal was to express 'Ultimate Beauty', and it provoked an enthusiastic response from both industry experts and the public. Like the LC itself, the concept car was honored on its debut with a prestigious EyesOn Design Award.
Describing his deep feeling for this moment, Lexus International Executive Vice President Koji Sato said, "The Goodwood Festival of Speed celebrates the history and culture of the automobile, and serves as a gathering place for some of history's most notable cars and drivers. Lexus is honored to join this festival, and I could not be happier to unveil this prototype model of the LC Convertible here at the same venue where the LC Coupe made its debut in 2016."
Detailed specifications and timings for the LC Convertible's market introduction will be announced at a later date.
