Open-Air Opulence: The 2026 Lexus LC 500 Convertible Arrives with New Inspiration Series
Luxury takes a bold leap into open skies with the arrival of the 2026 Lexus LC 500 Convertible, a sophisticated blend of performance, craftsmanship, and convertible freedom. Built at Lexus’ renowned Motomachi Plant in Japan, the LC 500 Convertible brings refined updates for the 2026 model year—led by a new Inspiration Series limited to just 350 units in North America.
Refined Design Meets Open-Air Elegance
The new Inspiration Series boasts a stunning exterior color called Wind, paired with a unique Brown and Silver convertible top, darkened exterior accents, and exclusive badging throughout the cabin. Inside, Saddle Tan and White semi-aniline leather seats elevate the luxury experience, offering a contrast between natural warmth and clean sophistication.
This year, Lexus also brings back the Bespoke Build Program, empowering buyers to personalize their LC with options like carbon fiber scuff plates, all-black wheels, and custom interior colors. Each Bespoke Build includes a certificate of authenticity printed on traditional washi paper, signed by LC Chief Engineer Yasushi Muto.
A Convertible with Elite Athleticism
The LC 500 Convertible isn’t simply a coupe with the roof cut off—its structure and performance have been specially tuned to deliver a unique, exhilarating drive. Lexus engineers enhanced the Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS), recalibrated the rear performance rod, and integrated a limited-slip differential to preserve poise through corners.
Under the hood, the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 engine delivers 471 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque. It sprints from 0-60 mph in just 4.6 seconds, reaching a top speed of 168 mph—all accompanied by a throaty, mechanical roar made possible by a tuned exhaust system and a sound pipe that channels intake pulses directly into the cabin.
Top-Down Luxury, Engineered with Precision
The LC 500 Convertible’s four-layer soft top folds in just 15 seconds, at speeds up to 31 mph, thanks to a hydraulic system with an electromagnetic valve. The smooth folding mechanism is inspired by Japanese calligraphy, and once retracted, a tonneau cover seamlessly closes the storage area.
The convertible top is available in four distinct colors—including Red and Blue exclusive to Bespoke Build customers. Interior choices include Black, Rioja Red, Toasted Caramel, and the new Saddle Tan/White combination for the Inspiration Series.
Crafted for All Seasons
Whether cruising under Dubai’s winter sun or caught in a summer breeze, the LC’s Climate Concierge system adjusts heating and cooling based on top position. Heated seats, neck heaters, steering wheel heating, and automatic A/C settings ensure year-round comfort.
Lexus also improved aerodynamics and sound insulation, incorporating a polycarbonate wind deflector and a standard windscreen to reduce turbulence. This means conversations stay clear, even with the top down at highway speeds.
Technology That Connects
The LC 500 Convertible features a 12.3-inch HD touchscreen with Lexus Interface, offering wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, Cloud Navigation, voice assistant, and a 3-month SiriusXM® trial. The car doubles as a Wi-Fi hotspot with 4G LTE connectivity for up to five devices.
With Remote Connect, drivers can start the engine, lock/unlock doors, or activate hazard lights—all from their smartphone. Safety Connect and Service Connect offer up to 10 years of emergency response and vehicle health monitoring.
Safety at Every Speed
Standard on all trims, Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 includes:
- Pre-Collision System with pedestrian detection
- Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with full stop-and-go
- Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
- Road Sign Assist and more
These technologies create a safety net that supports and enhances driver confidence.
