An open-top version of the Lexus LFA supercar could be on the roads and in the hands of proud (and very wealthy) new owners by 2014.

According to US car mag AutoWeek, Lexus is looking at putting a production version of the Lexus LFA Roadster - seen here in 2008 Detroit show concept form - once it has filled the world with 500 examples of the coupe version of the V10 supercar.

AutoWeek reckons Lexus might build even more open-air LFA's than coupes, too, but there will be about a year between the delivery of the final coupes, and the first roadsters rolling out of a Lexus factory. Which means we won't see the LFA roadster until around 2014.

But if the roadster (should it come to fruition) is half as good as the Lexus LFA coupe we drove back in July, it will almost certainly be worth the wait.
