The 2009 Lexus SC 430 continues the Lexus tradition of luxury, class and performance. In the same league as the BMW 335i, the Jaguar XK8 and the Mercedes-Benz CLK550, the SC 430 transforms from hardtop coupe to open-air convertible in under 30 seconds. Engineered as a convertible from the beginning in 2002, the rigid structure uses a rear double-wishbone independent suspension to deliver incredible handling and smoothness. The 53/47 weight distribution also helps deliver optimal balance.

Standard equipment is so extensive that no optional extras are offered for the interior. Combined mileage (city and highway) is estimated at 19 mpg.
