At the 2019 Goodwood Festival of Speed, Lexus confirmed that a dramatic convertible version of the Lexus LC will go into production in the near future. The LC coupe's same gaping spindle grille and slim, swoosh-shaped headlights carry over to the convertible prototype. Much of the convertible's profile maintains the coupe's same sleek, streamlined shape, too (now, sans roof). And in the rear, the slim LED taillights and silver accent pieces are identical.

Details like engine specs and options are even more under wraps than the body, but we expect the LC 500 Coupe's same 471-horsepower (351-kilowatt) V8 to carry over virtually unchanged. Ahead of its eventual production, which Lexus hints could come before the end of the year, professional racing driver Nick Cassidy will run the LC Convertible prototype up the hill at Goodwood.
