2003 Lexus SC 430
With all the focus at Lexus on performance sedans
and high-powered automobiles, it is only natural that
they should have a sporty coupe/convertible two-seater
to tear up the track, cruise the strip or simply to
look fast while parked in front of your house. With
the V8 engine of the much larger flagship LS 430 sedan,
this rear-wheel drive 2003 Lexus SC 430 is a high-powered
rocket capable of reaching 60mph in under 6 seconds.
A retractable hardtop that will go from coupe to convertible
in 25 seconds, the SC 430 has sophisticated performance
mechanics, extensive interior amenities and cutting
edge electronics and communications capability through
availability of the newly optional Lexus Link System.
This system combines GPS satellite and cellular phone
technology to connect the customer 24/7 with experienced
and trained Lexus Link advisors at the touch of a button
or automatically in certain emergency situations. Safety
and security enhancements from this system include automatic
notification of air bag deployment, emergency service
and accident assistance dispatch, location, theft notification
and stolen vehicle tracking and even, remote door lock
and unlock. Lock your keys in the car? No problem.
Under the Hood
The SC 430 has a 4.3-liter V8 engine that produces
300 hp and 325lb-ft of torque. Featuring Variable Valve
Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) and teamed with a computer
controlled 5-speed automatic transmission with Shift
Logic Control, Torque Activated Powertrain Control and
an Electronic Throttle Control System (drive-by-wire),
this powertrain is designed to optimize power and minimize
jerkiness from a standing start to the top end of the
engine's range. The car does not demand too much from
the driver and a comfortable, relaxed drive is the result.
The racing chassis, 18 inch wheels and fine-tuned front
and rear double wishbone independent suspension also
contributes to the control of the SC 430. Four-channel
antilock brakes (ABS) with Brake Assist and Electronic
Brake Force Distribution, and Vehicle Skid Control (VSC)
with Traction Control are both standard.
Standard Features, Options Packages and Style
Lexus has installed climate and audio systems in the
SC 430. A Mark Levinson audio system has been designed
specifically for the SC 430 with 9 strategically located
speakers, cassette and an in-dash 6-CD changer. The
advanced climate control system is designed for convertible
driving, adjusting airflow and temperature automatically
and differentiating between top-up and top-down driving
needs, responding to the exterior temperature to help
ensure occupant comfort.
In short, the interior of the SC 430 is a showpiece
of style and function, the exterior a classically designed
and exciting gem of sports-car technology.
