Despite the 鈥榗oncept鈥� moniker, it looks so production ready you can expect the car to hit showrooms soon if it proves a hit at the聽show.

For now, though, we only have video and pictures, none of which actually show the car with its roof up so whether it鈥檒l get a lightweight fabric top or a folding-metal lid has yet to be confirmed. But if it鈥檚 the latter, Lexus has done a brilliant job of hiding such a roof鈥檚 inherent bulk. Either way, anything that brings your ears closer to the coupe鈥檚 screaming 5.0-litre V8 鈥� let鈥檚 gloss over the wimpy hybrid model 鈥� is a聽winner in our book.

Much like the pictures, the press releases鈥� text is short on meaty detail, but clearly the LC Convertible Concept will share its origami styling with the coupe which, you鈥檒l agree, is one of the best looking cars you can buy for less than 拢100K.

The same goes for the Lexus鈥� interior, which could teach posh brands like Ferrari and Maserati a thing or two about quality, but without having the yawn-inducing, samey design you鈥檒l find in an Audi. What鈥檚 less positive is that you also get the coupe鈥檚 infotainment system that鈥檒l have you pulling your hair out quicker than reading the fact-less quotes from Tadao Mori, Chief Designer of the LC Convertible Concept.

Well鈥� maybe not. He says:

鈥淭his concept takes the unmistakable design of the LC coupe and reimagines it as a future convertible. It blends all the best aspects of the original coupe with the dynamic design of an open-air convertible.鈥�

鈥淎 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 start it up and feel everything around you once on the road. It would engage the senses in an exciting way, every time you get behind the wheel.鈥�
