About the model

The second generation Lexus SC was introduced for the 2001 model year. Known as the Z40, the second-generation SC was available only in one variant, the SC430. The SC 430 was offered as a folding hardtop convertible powered by Toyota's 3UZ-FE engine. This 4.3L naturally aspirated V8 generated 288hp and 317 lb-ft of torque. This power was initially sent to the rear wheels via a 5-speed automatic transmission, but from the 1996 model year, a 6-speed automatic was used. The Lexus SC430 was in production until 2010 when the model was discontinued.
