Lexus SC430 2009

While most automobiles merely move passengers from place to place, the SC goes much further. It takes into account the entire driving experience and strives to elevate it in every way. We sought a perfect blend of ingenuity, performance and style—ultimately selecting the best of everything we had learned as a car company. Which explains why it includes a sophisticated audio system created by Mark Levinson,®1 curves that are sculptural as well as aerodynamic, seating that’s trimmed with hand-selected semi-aniline leather and a seductively smooth ride. All packaged under a convertible hardtop that opens and closes at the touch of a button. In short, it’s
a drive that feels more like a well-deserved reward—one that also happens to take you
just where you want to go.
