Limited to only 100 units, the 2021 LC Convertible Inspiration Series features an exclusive Structural Blue paint job, which is paired with the exclusive Bespoke Amalfi White semi-aniline leather-trimmed interior and Marine-colored soft top. It comes equipped with 21-inch forged alloy wheels, a limited slip differential in the rear, and a rear performance rod with damper.
Inside, carbon-fiber door sill scuff plates are marked with the Inspiration Series logo. An exclusive serialized number will reside on the door jamb. The front headrests are embossed with the Lexus logo, while the cabin is kept cozy thanks to the Climate Concierge with Upper Body Heating. The Inspiration Series will also feature a two-piece Zero Halliburton luggage set created specifically for Lexus (that fit nicely in the trunk, of course), as well as a 13-speaker Mark Levinson audio system complete with an 11-channel, 918-watter amplifier. Other features include the addition of the Cold Area Package (heated steering wheel, etc.) and the SmartAccess Card key.

I won't say that buying an LC 500 or LC 500 Convertible today will be just like buying a Ferrari 458 or 458 Spider in 2014 or 2015. Nobody can claim that the Lexus will enjoy the same fan base or notoriety as the last prancing horse badge-wearing Maranello-made machine. But what I will say is that the LC 500 is one of the most important Japanese cars manufactured in the last 25 years. It's an emotional vehicle, a luxurious smile generator. Add its striking appearance into the mix, and what you get is a future classic. Time will tell how valuable it will be.
In the end, if you asked me to choose between the LC 500 and the Lotus Emira, the Ford Mustang Dark Horse, the Porsche 911 Turbo S (or 718 GTS 4.0), and the Chevrolet Corvette, I would, without a shadow of a doubt, pick the Lexus and enjoy it until the wheels would fall off. Considering that, at its core, it is a reliable Japanese car, that would probably never happen.
And, no, I wouldn't sell it. That'll be up to my kid.
