Hi,

I'm looking to move on from my GSF. It's a great car, but the kids are grown and I don't need that backseat I used maybe a dozen times. It's time for a convertible like I always wanted (and one I fit in comfortably, sorry Z06 & 911s). When I build out a standard convertible on the Lexus website, I add the touring package, which includes:

• Mark Levinson®* 13-speaker, 915-watt Reference (I'm partially deaf anyway thx air force)
• Windshield wiper de-icer (**** on a bull in SC)
• Embossed headrests (cool)
• Climate Concierge with Upper Body Heating (The Mrs gave this feature two thumbs up and y'all know that's critical here)
• Semi-aniline leather-trimmed front seats (whatever as long as it holds up better than my ISF dashboard back in the day)
• ​Heated leather-trimmed steering wheel (useless here)

It's optional to add the LSD, which I very much fuqn love and very much want. This is a hard requirement and I'm surprised there's no TVD, but I digress.

When I spec out the Bespoke (that word is so overused these days), it comes with the optional red top (very cool ****!) and dark chrome trim (no need for chrome delete vinyl or ebay faux carbon fiber bits). It's these two options that make me want to go with the Bespoke build. On the bespoke model there's no touring package, so you add some options individually:

• All Weather Package (required for climate concierge)
• Climate Concierge with Upper Body Heating (Mrs approved remember)
• Mark Levinson®* 13-speaker, 915-watt System (deaf anyway)
• Dark Chrome trim (no vinyl wrapping)
• Carbon Fiber Door Scuff Plates (I dunno why, they'll get rekt, but valet kids get all OMG over the carbon fiber)
• Heads Up Display (sure why not?)

My question, after all this bloviating: is the limited slip differential included or not an option on the bespoke model? It's not clear when you build it on the Lexus site. I don't feel like monkeying around trying to swap differentials on this kind of car.

The sales guy is nice enough, but he's not sure. I get mixed info from Google and AI prompts. Can anyone say for sure it's included? Not having the LSD would be a shame and I'd skip the red top and dark chrome for it. As much as those options are cool, at the end of the day I'll push this car to the limits occasionally and an open diff is a deal breaker.

Thanks

 

I reached out directly to Lexus corporate last year and cleared it up for everybody.


The Bespoke Convertible DOES have the limited slip.

 

Thanks man, I'm not sure why my search didn't find this info, but much appreciated.
