2013 Lexus SC Review Pictures
SC 430 challenges the Lexus reputation for staid styling, with its daring face, exaggerated wheel openings and eye-catching curves. SC 430 was an all-new model in 2002. For 2003, the previously optional Lexus Navigation System has been added to the SC 430's long list of standard equipment. And the all-new Lexus Link telecommunications system is now optional. Since its debut Lexus has done an excellent job of taking luxury-branded Japanese automobiles and competing with the big boys. Arguably one of Lexus' best styled vehicles in the '90s was the SC coupe, available as the six-cylinder SC 300 or the V8 SC 400. The design, over a decade old, dated as it may be, still looks good by today's standards. Exterior and interior design aside, the Lexus coupe featured the 3.0L inline six-cylinder engine made famous by the Toyota Supra--albeit in naturally aspirated form--and a beefy 4.0L V8. Power was diverted to the rear wheels through a driveshaft and differential. Its curvaceous lines and almost-oversized proportions make the almost-4,000 lb coupe tower over most other coupes and sedans.
2013 Lexus SC 430 is a refined hardtop coupe and a sporty convertible, a leather-wrapped luxury liner and a serious performance car. The key to the SC 430's dual personality is a hard, aluminum roof that, at the touch of a toggle switch, neatly folds into trunk. There's more to this sleek new Lexus than its power retractable hardtop, however. With a muscular, four-cam V8 delivering 300 horsepower to its rear wheels, the sleek SC 430 captures the essence of an aggressive two-seater. Yet it also elevates the concept to new heights of lavish luxury, thanks to the dazzling electronic displays and sophisticated vehicle controls that have become the hallmark of Toyota's Lexus division.
