2014 Lexus IS C

Lexus has offered the very first retractable hard-top in the popular premium-luxury convertible segment with SC 430.

They have even applied great engineering techniques from SC430 to the new IS C models. The ground breaking result can be seen on the 2014 Lexus IS C. This is one vehicle people will be “wowwing” and “oohing” about in the years to come.

Exterior

The car is made of lightweight aluminum to ensure a smooth, low-noise roof operation. Basically, the roof closes silently; thanks to the brake system that simply slows when the roof is being retracted or opened by its closing system. When this top is stowed, the lock assembly may be engaged to keep the panel in a fixed and stable position.

The exterior features include creases that run along the belt-line and the rear half into the rear tail lamps, that go well with integrated LED strips and headlamps and some devil-horn rear reflectors.

Interior

The inside is even better. The 4- seat interior exudes a high level of comfort and luxury. You get a leather-trimmed 10-way adjustable front seats that have lumbar support. As a driver, you can even choose from some heated or ventilated front seats; this heating range actually includes the shoulder area.

The rear seats are also positioned slightly inboard in order to allow for more room and comfort. Lexus has ensured easy ingress with a one-touch feature that will automatically fold the front seat and then move it forward. The rear-seat console includes cup holders plus storage.

Other features include a16-disc, in-dash CD changer, 8 speakers, satellite radio receiver, Bluetooth connectivity, automatic phone-book download, USB/iPod connectivity and Bluetooth music streaming.
