Picture the aggressively styled IS sport sedan-only sportier. Two doors, instead of four. And in place of a permanent roof, a seamlessly integrated, lightweight aluminum hardtop that retracts itself in a mere 20 seconds. It’s called the IS Convertible, and it’s here.

The IS 350 C features a potent 3.5-liter, 306-horsepower [4] V6 engine, while the IS 250 C delivers an authoritative 204 horses [4] from its 2.5-liter V6-both available with six-speed automatic transmissions and race-inspired paddle-shift controllers to help provide added driver control. The IS 250 C also offers the option of a six-speed manual transmission.
