I'm not a fan of soft-top convertibles, but this looks really nice IMO. I'm doubtful (but hopeful) we'll see such 22" wheels with the apparent wider offset on the production model. This looks like a winner to me!

Agree with both post above.
Zeit, you gunna sell or trade in your LC500 for the LCF?! If so, time to stop modding it, lol. You probably have $140k or so in the LC500 now as it is!

No trade-in and I don't think I'm going to sell it. I have a sneaky suspicion that the NA V8's will be worth some coin in a few years. I don't think I will be buying another gas powered car again. Have you been paying attention to the EV market lately? 650hp LC-F in 2020 will be behind the 8 ball once again with technology. I'm not even referring to Tesla models, as there are a grip of manufactures coming out with some EV cars that are going to destroy and murder even 1,000hp gas powered cars out today with a better range and more tech wizardry then the current tech even Tesla has now. Beginning in 2019 Volvo will no longer manufacture any gas powered vehicles again. There is a massive "phase out" or ban coming on gas powered vehicles from many countries in the world. Norway by 2025, UK, Germany, Netherlands and France by 2030 to name a few and by 2040 all auto manufactures will only produce EV vehicles. Soccer moms passing up 1,500hp GTRs in their Kia Marz EV666 models that have 2,500hp and 3,000 ft lb. with 16 electric independent motors...Ha! Ha! It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out in 10 years.
I hope that everyone understands these are simply photoshop renderings from NetCarShow, Lexus has NOT published any official pictures with the roof up since the final design has yet to be approved.

Ah, nice to know.
IMO just like with the Corvette, you lose the swoop to the back. Good looking to say the least, but not what I desire.
