Lexus LC Convertible: Keep the Light Alive | Lexus

That thrill. That rush. That feeling we’ve always chased. That’s what inspired Lexus to create the LC 500 Convertible.

LC CONVERTIBLE
Whether you’re driving along a sun-soaked coastal highway or over a winding Alpine pass, the Lexus LC Convertible delivers an unmatched level of open top luxury and awesome V8 power.

At Lexus, we have a lot to be proud of. A world leader in automotive design and luxury cars that stand out for their sophistication, quality and award-winning reliability. A brand that embraces the chance to define a new kind of driving pleasure, where each journey radiates confidence, control and comfort. Driving the latest V8-powered LC Convertible, you’ll enjoy a peerless level of personal luxury that’s rooted in the crafted relationship between road, car and driver. It’s time to Experience Amazing.


MEET THE LC CONVERTIBLE

                                                                                        With the LC Convertible, Lexus designers met the challenge of creating a convertible that is as stunning when the roof is up as when it is down. The athletic silhouette - all lean, poised power - instantly whets your appetite. Then there’s the roar from the naturally aspirated 5.0-litre V8 powertrain. Hand-built and stethoscope-tuned by our famed ‘Takumi’ master craftspeople, this drivetrain powers the LC Convertible up to 270km/h..

A HAND-BUILT V8, BORN ON THE RACETRACK

                                                                                        Developed at motorsport events like the Nürburgring 24-hour Race, the LC Convertible’s high-revving 5.0-litre V8 petrol engine delivers 464 DIN hp / 341 kW to the rear wheels. Matched to the world’s first 10-speed automatic transmission, it offers incredible acceleration and an awesome V8 soundtrack. Engineered for durability yet with a lightweight construction, the car reaches 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds. For those wanting to drive to the limit, a new oil cooler is available, whilst an Expert Mode and Sports Brake Override System are fitted as standard. Before delivery, every LC Convertible is track-tested by a Lexus master driver.


ULTRA RIGID CHASSIS / CARBON FIBRE COMPONENTS

Whatever the road trip, the LC Convertible’s dynamic delights will quickly consume you. The rigid chassis gives the car its exceptional agility, accentuated by the low centre of gravity and near-perfect weight distribution. The LC Convertible’s driving dynamics benefit further from lightweight components, such as the aluminium door and bonnet panels. Strong Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic is used for the doorframes, whilst a strengthened rear drive tunnel gives the car improved precision.


DRIVE MODE SELECT / 10-SPEED PADDLE SHIFTS

Located beside the steering wheel, so you can concentrate on the road ahead, Drive Mode Select lets you shift between Eco / Comfort, Normal / Custom, Sport S / Sport S+ modes. Allowing more fun on the road, an incredibly direct and dynamic ‘M’ mode has been adopted for the LC Convertible, enabling you to freely select and hold any gear using the paddle shifters. For a more exhilarating driving sensation, the Drive Mode Select settings have been fine-tuned, delivering increased comfort in ‘Normal’ mode and enhanced control in both ‘Normal’ & ‘Sport’ modes. 


LEXUS SAFETY SYSTEM +

                                                                                    Innovative technologies such as Lexus Safety System + that includes a pioneering Pre-Collision System, contribute to the class-leading safety of the latest LC Convertible. Intersection Turn Assist detects oncoming vehicles and crossing pedestrians when turning at an intersection. Safety features such as Lane Keeping Assist help you stay on course, while Automatic High Beam enhances night vision and Road Sign Assist recognises road traffic signs wherever you venture.


PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM / EMERGENCY STEERING ASSIST

Capable of detecting oncoming vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians during daytime, the Pre-Collision System can now sense pedestrians at night. If the system judges that the possibility of a collision is high, the brakes are automatically applied to support collision avoidance, or reduce damage in the event of a collision. When a vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist is very close to or in your path of travel, Emergency Steering Assist will support your steering movements to enhance the car’s stability and prevent accidental lane departure.


DYNAMIC RADAR CRUISE CONTROL / CURVE SPEED REDUCTION

Dynamic Radar Cruise Control ensures your LC Convertible maintains an appropriate distance from the vehicle in front. If the vehicle in front stops, the system will stop the LC Convertible. When it starts off again, the LC Convertible will start off and continue following. This system reduces the burden on the driver in situations requiring frequent starting and stopping. Meanwhile, Curve Speed Reduction will decelerate your car automatically when it determines the speed is too high for the curve you are negotiating.



LC COUPÉ PERSONALITY / SIGNATURE GRILLE

Keeping the flowing roof line of the LC coupé, the LC Convertible’s supporting roof frame is finely concealed and the soft top folds away like a piece of origami. With its bold signature grille and triple LED headlights, the car’s aggressive stance is highlighted by a distinctive beltline, while the sculpted lines and precise detailing right across its alluring body convey a harmony with its surroundings. Available in stunning new colours like Sonic Copper and Sapphire Blue, all elements display an unmistakably dynamic purpose.


SOFT TOP ROOF

                                                                        Graceful in operation, durable to use, Lexus engineers have tested our first-ever soft top to the limit. The roof was strength-tested in the Lexus wind tunnel at speeds up to 400 km/h, then opened and closed no fewer than 18,000 times in desert and Arctic conditions. Yet to the naked eye it is a work of performance art that recalls the graceful brush strokes of a Japanese calligrapher, which were its inspiration. Fifteen seconds is all it takes to raise or lower the 4-layer roof, and this can be done even when the car is on the move – at speeds up to 50 km/h.



LED HEADLIGHTS / LED REAR LIGHTS

                                                                                        This ultra-compact LED triple-projector headlight unit allows for an exceptionally short front overhang on the LC Convertible, crucial for high-speed handling. Inspired by the afterburners of jet fighter aircraft, eye-catching tail lights with a sculpted metallic frame project an infinite Lexus ‘L’ motif. Closer inspection reveals the boot lock integrated in the rear light moulding.


12.3" TOUCHSCREEN / LEXUS LINK MULTIMEDIA / CONNECTIVITY

The latest 12.3” HD touchscreen is one of the largest available today and allows you to smoothly access information like navigation, audio and climate control. Lexus Link Multimedia is intuitive to use, and with Lexus Link Pro using embedded navigation, it is the first system of its kind with cloud navigation to regularly update maps and traffic data. Connected services and other software are kept up to date thanks to “Over The Air” (OTA) technology while Artificial Intelligence and the cloud work together in the sophisticated Lexus Voice Assistant app. With Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto®, the LC Convertible allows you to easily display and access your smartphone’s apps on the 12.3" screen, while a further USB Type-A+C has been added.
