Yes, it almost looks ready to go to series-production, but Lexus still calls it a “concept”, probably something to do with a final round of evaluation.

Nonetheless, it’ll go to production. “This concept takes the unmistakable design of the LC coupe and reimagines it as a future convertible,” said Tadao Mori, Chief Designer of the concept. “It blends all the best aspects of the original coupe with the dynamic design of an open-air convertible.”

If you already like the LC Coupe, or the Lexus design language in general, you’ll like the Convertible even more. I personally think that the Convertible looks a lot more desirable than the Coupe. The folding mechanism has been neatly integrated into the rear decklid that houses the Convertible top.

Those 22-inch wheels look as complicated as the Lexus design language itself, but i think they suit the car perfectly.

“A production version of this concept would be exhilarating in many different ways. You would see its dynamic lines as you approach, hear its engine when you started it up and feel everything around you once on the road. It would engage the senses in a way that is unique and exciting every time you got behind the wheel,” added Mori-san.
