Auto123 was on hand for the world premiere of the 2021 Lexus LC 500 convertible at the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show

On the eve of official press day at the L.A. Auto Show, Lexus presented the world premiere of the cabriolet version of the sexiest coupe on the market. The LC 500 will now have a convertible version. It offers the same on-road performance as the coupe model but with an even more attractive silhouette, with or without the roof up.

An interesting compromise for the soft top
The roof of the LC Convertible incorporates an innovative folding mechanism that includes a well-designed cover to protect it when stored. This design allowed engineers to accentuate the sleek lines of the convertible without compromising trunk and cabin space, often a by-product of having rigid, heavier and bulky roofs. 

The curves of the cabriolet are highlighted by some key changes to the silhouette. Physically, the roof blends into the lines and doesn’t break the harmony of the design. 

The roof can be opened or closed at speeds up to 50 km/h, while a display on the dashboard indicates the progress of the roof. Opening it takes about 15 seconds and closing, 16 seconds.
