Lexus Australia has confirmed pricing and specifications for the evergreen new LC Inspiration Series, available in strictly limited numbers and now on sale from $205,512 plus on-road costs. "Fewer than 10 units" will be offered in Australia, according to the company's local arm, available with the distinctive Khaki Metal green exterior paint and tan 'L-Aniline' leather upholstery.

Lexus has confirmed it will produce the LC Convertible, debuting a camouflaged pre-production prototype at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Timing and specification of the LC Convertible is still yet to be announced, though we’d say the new model isn’t far off. “It will broaden the LC line-up and bring a sense of a completeness to the brand's flagship models,” the company said in its press release.

Lexus has revealed the LC Convertible concept ahead of its public debut at the Detroit motor show next week – just look at it. Described as "an aspirational halo vehicle for the luxury lifestyle brand’s entire vehicle line-up", the LC Convertible concept looks pretty much production-ready – blending the beautiful proportions of the LC coupe with roofless elegance.

A year since the bold new LC coupe first debuted, confirmation of a trademark for the anticipated Lexus LC F has surfaced. Uncovered by overseas title Autoguide, the European-market trademark could be little more than a responsible step to safeguard the LC F name from other brands, but fans will be hoping for a new super coupe offering more than the LC500's already compelling 350kW and 530Nm 5.0-litre V8.

The wraps have been taken off the Lexus LC500h hybrid coupe ahead of its in-the-flesh debut at the 2016 Geneva motor show. Under the car's resplendent blue body is a new take on the Toyota's hybrid drivetrain layout, dubbed Multi Stage Hybrid System, which has been developed for the company's performance-oriented vehicles. Beneath the bonnet, the LC500h ditches the 5.0-litre V8 used in the LC500 for a 220kW 3.5-litre V6 mated to an electric motor.
