The 2009 Lexus IS250C was first revealed at the 2008 Paris Motor
Show. The IS 250C is a convertible, two-door version of the
four-door IS 250 sedan.
Powering the Lexus IS250C is a 2.5 litre V6 which develops 208
horsepower @ 6,400 rpm, and 252 Nm of torque @ 4,800 rpm. Sending
the power to the rear wheels is a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Below is the Lexus IS 250C press release:
Making its world debut at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, the
new IS 250C combines the sporting elegance of the IS sedan with
superlative engineering ingenuity to create a unique fusion
of top-down driving pleasure and uncompromised closed-top dynamic
performance in the premium sedan segment. Its lightweight, aluminium
folding roof structure boasts the fastest three-part roof opening
time of just 20 seconds. Through the remarkably compact packaging
of its roof mechanism, the IS 250C offers a large boot space,
generous rear seat access and spacious rear passenger accommodation.
Sharing the IS 250's 153kW/208DIN hp, 2.5 litre ultra-smooth
V6 powerplant and 6-speed automatic transmission, the new Lexus
convertible has been styled to offer minimal wind turbulence
when driving with the hard top stowed. The enhanced torsional
stiffness of the IS 250C design promotes ride comfort appropriate
to the marque and, in coupe configuration, reduced noise, vibration
and harshness (NVH) characteristics on a par with those of the
IS sedan.
