Discover the debut of the first-ever LC Convertible. This exceptional vehicle, crafted by Lexus, captures your attention and ignites your senses. Its design is intricate, and its performance lives up to its stunning appearance.

The 2021 Lexus LC is the result of a two-year process involving more than 50 prototypes, resulting in an optimal driving position and a newfound connection to the road. The car beckons you to embark on long drives, making every moment in the cockpit enjoyable.

Exterior

The test model features a striking cherry red exterior named Infrared with a black soft top, complemented by a Toasted Caramel leather interior and Satin Metallic trim.

The exterior of the LC 500 Convertible is truly remarkable with a masterfully designed, sleek silhouette that is shared with the coupe version. From every angle, the sleek body lines create a captivating look. The deliberate creases on the hood smoothly blend into the front end, which showcases a prominent Lexus grill. The vehicle is equipped with arrowhead daytime running lights, triple-projector LED headlights, and flush door handles that match the body color. Its optional 21-inch staggered-width split-five-spoke forged alloy wheels with polished finish and Gloss Black accents enhance its overall appearance.

The rear of the LC is equally impressive, featuring bold taillights designed to mimic the dramatic glow of a jet’s afterburners, making for a captivating sight that is hard to resist.

Driving Experience

Upon pressing the start button, the powerful 471-horsepower naturally-aspirated 5.0-liter V8 engine with Active Sport Exhaust roars to life. Lexus emphasizes that the engine’s sound is authentic and not artificially enhanced.

The rear-wheel-drive system delivers 398 lb-ft of torque through a 10-speed automatic transmission, offering smooth and efficient gear shifts. The vehicle accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds, showcasing its impressive performance capabilities.

Sport and Sport+ drive modes provide an exhilarating driving experience, with precise power delivery. The adaptive variable suspension ensures a comfortable ride even on bumpy roads. Despite its sporty nature, the LC 500 Convertible manages to balance performance with comfort, achieving a fuel efficiency of 18 MPG.

Interior

Lexus’s meticulous attention to detail is evident in the interior, featuring a Toasted Caramel leather-bolstered semi-aniline leather 10-way power driver seat and Satin Metallic trim that complements the overall aesthetic. The steering wheel is ergonomically designed for a comfortable grip, and the Climate Concierge system ensures optimal comfort with features like Upper Body Heating and a heated steering wheel.

The rear seats are compact, and cargo space is limited, as expected in a sports car. Despite its sporty focus, the LC 500 Convertible is equipped with a 13-speaker Mark Levinson surround sound system, a full-color heads-up display, and an 8-inch performance-inspired instrumentation, along with a 10.3-inch color LCD multimedia display compatible with Apple and Android devices.

Safety

The 2021 LC Convertible comes equipped with the Lexus Safety System+ (LSS+), offering a comprehensive suite of advanced safety features. From pedestrian alerts to lane drift prevention, the system includes features like the Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Lane Keep Assist, All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, and Intelligent High Beams.

Conclusion

The Lexus LC 500 Convertible delivers a thrilling driving experience that will keep you captivated. The craftsmanship and engineering put into this vehicle continue to elevate Lexus’s reputation. Test driving this exceptional vehicle was truly a memorable experience that left a lasting impression.
