Lexus IS 250c a Luxury Convertible
The IS 250c displays Lexus quality and attention to detail in every aspect of its construction and is designed to exceed customer expectations with its fusion of top-down driving pleasure and uncompromised dynamic performance. It also boasts the fastest opening time for a three-part roof design, with its lightweight aluminum structure folding away in just 20 seconds to make it a luxury convertible.
The Lexus IS 250c is a Luxury Convertible in many ways, it shares its smooth 205bhp (208 DIN hp) 2.5-litre petrol V6 engine and six-speed automatic transmission with the IS 250 saloon. It has been styled to offer minimal wind turbulence when driving with the top down and extensive revisions to the body structure and suspension provide the right degree of torsional stiffness to ensure a level of ride comfort appropriate for a Lexus. In coupe trim, the car’s low NVH performance is on a par with that of the IS saloon.
Thanks to the remarkably compact packaging of the three-part roof mechanism, the Lexus IS 250c has a large boot space, together with easy rear seat access and generous accommodation for rear passengers.
The new coupe / convertible is the third model in the Lexus IS range, joining the Lexus IS petrol and diesel-powered sports saloon and the ultra-high performance 5.0-litre V8-powered Lexus IS F, which introduced the F Sports designation to the line-up earlier this year.
