Auto 2010: 2010 Lexus SC430
March 17th, 2010
The Lexus SC430 luxury convertible is entering the 2010 model year with more standard technologies, which is now on sale at a price of $67,505.
A low-profile front grille that surrounded by chrome enhances the SC’s sleek style. The aggressive front bumper, projector-lens headlamps and stylish rear combination LED taillamps add to its fluid design.
It comes equipped with iPod/USB Connectivity, Streaming Audio, Lexus Navigation System and Mark Levinson Premium Audio System.
The 2010 Lexus SC430 features an all-aluminum construction, and is powered by a 4.3-liter engine that produces 288 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in a remarkable 5.8 seconds. The engine is mated to a six-speed Sequential-Shift automatic transmission. The sequential-shifting capability enhances performance by allowing the driver to nudge the gearshift forward or backward.
It works in conjunction with the Electronically Controlled Transmission with intelligence (ECT-i), which compensates for uphills, downhills and headwinds, even adapting shift-timing to the driver’s acceleration habits.
