Toronto, Ontario - Visitors to the Canadian International Auto Show will have the opportunity to see one of the key influences on the design of the current generation of Lexus luxury passenger cars: the Lexus LF-C luxury sports coupe concept car.

Created at the Calty Design Research Center in California, the LF-C features a four-position retractable hardtop. This unique roof design allows the driver to transform the car at the touch of a button - from a coupe, to a convertible, to a targa, or to a speedster - depending on the driver's mood. The powered top stows neatly into the trunk, through a surprisingly minimal rear-deck opening.

It features a high-output, front-mounted V8 engine harnessed through a six-speed sequential automatic transmission. Power and handling are delivered to the road via 20x9-inch front tires, and 21x10.5-inch rubber on the rear.
