Lexus SC: The Stylish Luxury Coupe and Convertible
The SC was Lexus's elegant luxury coupe and convertible, famous for the SC 430 folding-hardtop and the earlier SC 300 and SC 400.
The SC name covers two distinct eras. The first-generation SC 300 and SC 400 (1991 to 2000) were sleek, curvaceous luxury coupes; the SC 300 with its inline-six became a tuner favorite related to the Toyota Supra's engine family.
The second-generation SC 430 (2001 to 2010) was a luxurious folding-hardtop convertible, offering open-air grand touring with V8 power and Lexus refinement. It prioritized comfort and elegance over outright sport.
The SC gave Lexus a stylish personal luxury coupe and convertible, with the first-generation cars especially appreciated by enthusiasts today.
