The New LC Convertible

TWO FORMS OF SEDUCTION

The LC Convertible design team faced a double challenge: to create the world’s most beautiful convertible - both with the roof up and down.

EXHILARATING PERFORMANCE

Whether you’re driving along a sun-soaked coastal road or over a dramatic Alpine pass, the Lexus LC Convertible delivers an unmatched level of open top luxury and awesome power. It provides a unique driving experience that stimulates the senses, and expresses ultimate beauty.

The Lexus Safety System+ is available as standard with features including Dynamic Radar Cruise Control and Lane Tracing Assist.

The LC Convertible displays your smartphone’s apps on the high definition 10.3-inch central display and offers a world-class 13-speaker Mark Levinson® Premium Surround system.

With automatic transmission as standard, the LC provides linear-yet-invigorating acceleration.

A stunning design with the top up or down, the unique silhouette and sporty disposition makes the LC a classic convertible.

Everything has been crafted to create a space that offers the excitement of open-air driving with interior features details such as gradating quilting on the seats.

INTERIOR

DRIVER-FOCUSED COCKPIT

To reduce eye movement and potential distraction, all important instruments and displays are positioned close to your view of the road ahead.

INTERIOR

ROOF SWITCH

Creating a sense of anticipation each time you lower or raise the soft top, the LC Convertible’s open/close roof switch is intentionally located under the palm rest.

INTERIOR

CLIMATE CONCIERGE

Climate Concierge has been adapted for the LC Convertible to orchestrate the air conditioning, seat and neck heaters and heated steering wheel. True to our ‘Omotenashi’ hospitality ethos, airflow has been increased slightly to warm key areas, such as the back of your hands on the wheel.

INTERIOR

ADJUSTABLE NECK HEATERS

Adjustable heaters built into the front headrests direct air onto your neck, instantly evoking a warm, soothing sensation. Designed to suit people of varying heights, they activate automatically, or manually via three heat settings.

INTERIOR

LEATHER SEATS

Beautifully stitched leather seats offer the best possible combination of support and comfort. The LC Convertible Chief Engineer was directly involved in developing this new design that was selected from 50 other seat designs.

INTERIOR

GEOMETRIC DOOR TRIM

The exclusive geometric effect on the door panels and the arrangement of the perforations in the leather seat upholstery are further hallmarks of the attention to detail invested in this outstanding luxury car.

INTERIOR

TOUCH PAD

You can also control the 10.3-inch screen using the Touch Pad mounted on the centre console. The Touch Pad interface has been designed to give you the intuitive feel of a smartphone, with operations such as scrolling, pinching or tapping.

INTERIOR

6 AIRBAGS

In addition to an immensely strong passenger safety cell and Active Roll Bars, protection is provided by 6 airbags. The driver and front passenger are protected by 2-stage head airbags, as well as knee and extended side airbags. All seatbelts are also specified with pre-tensioners.

INTERIOR

ACTIVE ROLL BARS

In a severe collision or in the very unlikely event of your convertible rolling over, Active Roll Bars will activate to support the vehicle and protect you and your passengers.

INTERIOR

13-SPEAKER MARK LEVINSON®

This world-class 13-speaker Mark Levinson® Premium Surround system with GreenEdge™ technology is carefully crafted to the acoustic properties of the LC Convertible’s cabin and even automatically adjusts the sound and speaker settings when you open the roof. Delivering a digital home-theatre experience, fidelity is further enhanced by Clari-Fi™ that rebuilds sound lost in MP3 digital compression.

INTERIOR

SMARTPHONE INTEGRATION

With Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto®, the LC Convertible allows you to easily display and access your smartphone’s apps on the 10.3-inch screen.

INTERIOR

NANOE® TECHNOLOGY

Pioneering nanoe® technology releases negatively charged particles into the cabin to purify the air and effectively deodorise seats. They also have a pleasant, moisturising effect on your skin and hair.

EXTERIOR

TRIPLE LED HEADLIGHTS

This ultra-compact LED triple-projector headlight unit was specially developed to allow an exceptionally short front overhang on the LC Convertible, crucial for high-speed handling.

EXTERIOR

21" FORGED ALLOY WHEELS

Forged and polished 5-twin-spoke lightweight wheels for superior handling.
Front: 21-inch x 8.5/2J, inset 25
Rear: 21-inch x 9.5/2J, inset 25

EXTERIOR

HAND-BUILT V8 ENGINE

The LC Convertible’s 5.0-litre V8 petrol engine – tested to the limit at the Nürburgring 24-hour Race – is matched to a close-ratio Direct Shift 10-speed transmission to deliver an incredible driving experience.

EXTERIOR

LOW CENTRE OF GRAVITY

Thanks to all main components - including the roof hydraulics - being set low, the LC Convertible boasts a lower centre of gravity than the LC coupé. Leaving nothing to chance, the engineers even specified an exotic combination of magnesium and aluminium to keep the roof frame’s weight to a minimum.

EXTERIOR

POP UP HOOD

Activated by sensors mounted in the front bumper, should you collide with a pedestrian, the Pop Up Hood slightly raises the level of the bonnet to give more space between it and the hard components of the engine underneath. This reduces the risk of injuries to the pedestrian.

EXTERIOR

LEXUS SAFETY SYSTEM +

Lexus Safety System + is standard on the LC Convertible and includes a Pre-Collision System with pedestrian detection; Advanced Lane Keeping Assist to help you stay on course; Automatic High Beam for enhanced vision at night; and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, which regulates your speed to that of the vehicle in front.

EXTERIOR

LED HOLOGRAPHIC REAR LIGHTS

Inspired by the afterburners of jet fighter aircraft, eye-catching taillights with a sculpted metallic frame project an infinite Lexus ‘L’ motif. Closer inspection reveals the boot lock integrated seamlessly in the rear light moulding.

EXTERIOR

SOFT TOP ROOF

Fifteen seconds is all it takes to raise or lower the 4-layer (1. acrylic outer cloth with fluorocarbon treatment; 2. insulating rubber layer; 3. PET inner fabric layer; 4. sound absorbing material) roof, and this can be done even when the car is on the move – at speeds up to 50 km/h.

EXTERIOR

AMAZING V8 SOUND

Making the LC Convertible’s V8 more enjoyable when the roof is down, and inspired by the iconic pitch of the Lexus LFA supercar, a sound generator transmits sensual engine sounds through the dash panel, while an exhaust valve enhances the powerful engine note.

EXTERIOR

HIGHLY RIGID BODY

To reduce noise and vibrations to a minimum, Lexus created a highly rigid chassis using ultra-high-tensile strength steel, lightweight aluminium and carbon-fibre reinforced plastic. For agile handling, our engineers then fitted rear suspension braces, underfloor strengthening and a torsion box behind the rear seats.

EXTERIOR

FLUSH DOOR HANDLES

The LC Convertible’s flush door handles realise a smooth surface across the car body. As well as being beautiful, their aerodynamic shape contributes to increased driving refinement and performance.

EXTERIOR

REAR SPOILER

Developed for the new LC Convertible, this rear spoiler has been extended laterally, accentuating the wide stance of the new convertible.

FEATURE

LC COUPÉ BEAUTY IN EVERY LINE AND CURVE

The LC convertible’s soft top roof flows with the same elegance as that of the LC coupé, with a supporting frame that is finely concealed. When open, the roof folds away under an exquisitely moulded tonneau cover that perfectly complements the car’s lines.
