Our 2023 Lexus LC 500 Convertible test car had a retractable soft-top roof. Its MSRP was $101,500. The Touring Package was another add-on. That gave it 21-inch wheels, a heated steering wheel, windshield wiper de-icer, upgraded leather upholstery and headrest, a microsuede headliner, a Mark Levinson audio system, and front and rear parking sensors with low-speed automatic braking. Car performance enthusiasts will also appreciate other add-ons such as the head-up display, and Torsen limited-slip differential. All in, the tag with these options plus premium Flare Yellow paint was $133,345.
