Amongst the latest Lexus model to hit the showrooms in 2009 will be the IS 250C, which was well received at the Paris motor show at the end of 2008.
Lexus aim to entice those seeking a sports cabriolet that encompasses sports performance with style and elegance – and they have succeeded here.
One of the stand out features of the new IS 250C is the aluminium fold away roof that opens in rapid time and is also so compact when stored that it does not hinder boot space as with many cabriolets.
The 250BHP V6 engine is both rorty and fuel efficient and has already been a success in the IS 250 saloon.
With Lexus being used to their spacious cars, designing a cabriolet may have been a challenge, but the design features, especially inside the vehicle are as luxurious and well devised as you would expect from Lexus.
The IS250C will be aiming to challenge BMW’s Z4 and Audi’s TT roadster and on first viewing, looks like running it all the way!
