Press Release
Straight from its worldwide debut at the Paris Motor Show, Lexus has revealed the all-new IS 250C coupe/convertible at the 2008 Australian International Motor Show. Based on the IS 250 platform, the Lexus IS 250C features a lightweight three-piece folding roof structure, category-leading boot and rear occupant space, and superior noise suppression and wind turbulence properties.
Constructed entirely in lightweight aluminum, the new Lexus IS 250C’s three-piece folding roof boasts an impressive opening time of just 21 seconds. Activated via a dash-mounted button, the quiet operating mechanism features a unique ‘roof brake’ feature which slows the closing of the hard top as it approaches the windscreen head - ensuring that the roof descends smoothly into place.
The entire roof headlining is trimmed in fabric, aiding noise suppression, comfort and aesthetics. Lexus IS 250C’s compact three-part folding roof mechanism affords the advanced new model large boot space and generous rear seat access, while a spacious rear passenger compartment is almost on a par with that of the four-door IS range.
Lexus IS 250C’s rear overhang was also increased by 50mm over the sedan. It combines with the compact roof to generate a significant increase in luggage space, allowing stowage of a nine-inch golf bag even with the roof down.
