The Lexus LFA production has ended, but the rumors of a convertible variant remain strong.

To add fuel to the fire, the one-off Lexus LFA Roadster that has made several appearances in Japan, had a rather public display at the 2013 Tokyo Auto Salon. Is it a way for the Japanese automaker to gauge interest on a possible production model? Or just a lucky owner looking to show off.

A unique feature of the LFA Roadster is that like the Lamborghini Aventador J, it’s entirely roofless. There’s no soft top to tuck away somewhere. There’s no top at all.
