STORY

The SC was Lexus's luxury personal coupe, beginning with the sleek 1991 SC 300/400, a design admired by tuners and drifters worldwide. The second-generation SC 430 arrived in 2001 as a V8-powered hardtop convertible with a folding metal roof, blending grand-touring comfort with open-air motoring. Though never a sports car at heart, the SC became a distinctive halo model in the early Lexus range.
