    Lexus hints at RC convertible with LF-C2 concept in LA.

    Lexus has unveiled the LF-C2 concept this week, with the roofless concept taking centre-stage on the Lexus stand at the Los Angeles motor show.

    The LF-C2 is a clear hint that an upcoming drop-top version of the RC coupe may be just around the corner.

    The styling of the front and back borrows heavily from the 2015 RC coupe, with some subtle tweaks.

    The trademark Lexus gaping-maw front grille has a new pattern to it, and the 20-inch alloys have a unqiue multi-spoke design.

    The LF-C2 concept's front LED running lights wrap around toward the wheel arches more than the RC, while the overall shape of the front bumper is also unique.

    The rear of the concept maintains the same overall styling as the RC coupe, although the rear bumper is also reshaped.

    Behind the rear passengers is a section of bodywork that would be perfect for hiding a roof in, however the roadster concept lacks one. That makes picking whether a future RC drop-top would have a hard or soft roof difficult.

    That said, the IS250C, which an RC coupe drop-top would replace, did come with a folding metal roof.

    Roof aside, there is room for two people in the back of the LF-C2 concept, however looking at the car from top-down suggests it would be ideal if the rear passengers were missing their legs.

Matt used to spend his days designing housing estates in a job he describes as "playing Sim City, but for real". However, after doing that for too many years, he became bored and decided a communications degree was something he should do (because journalists are successful and rich). Since starting at Carsguide he hasn't looked back. You can follow Matt on Twitter, if you dare.
