I don't see much updating being done with the introduction of the convertible just 6 months ago.

I have consulted my Magic Eight Ball - this is probably as accurate as anyone's reply here on this Forum.

The rumor is there's an LC-F version coming at the end of this year.

https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a3...xus-is-f-lc-f/

If the rumor's to be believed, though, this is far from the most powerful F-model in the hopper. Best Car Web also says a hotter version of the LC500 is coming, something that's been rumored for a long time. Lexus has confirmed officially that it has a twin-turbo V-8 in development, but now we have reported specs: a 4.0-liter twin-turbo mill making up to 660 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque. That's a huge figure that puts the LC500 close to Hellcat territory, but it's even wilder to think that—according to the rumor—that engine could end up in the docile LS as well.
If they put this ^^^ motor in the LC convertible, I'll be the first in line. If it's only in the coupe, probably not.

I normally buy my Lexus' lightly used and heavily depreciated, but the cheapest used LC coupes right now have a lot more miles (50-70K) than I'd be interested in paying $60K for. Which makes the value proposition of buying new a bit better.

No need for a refresh. The LC already looks like it was designed in 2050 by Buck Rogers

What would we want to change? These are very developed, cutting edge machines.

True, the touchpad is awkward and can be a danger to the public. It’s novel and useable, sometimes even fun, but very distracting.

There are some places where the materials are noticeably cheap. The top of the tail lights, and the plastic on the steering wheel really stand out.

A different wheel option would be nice. I’d go for same shape but less chromy.

Would have to fully give up the trunk, or fold like origami.

LC-F would be absolutely amazing. I hope it happens. I just wonder what the price tag would be - $150-$160K?
