Product Overview

Lexus SC (chassis code Z30) is a luxury coupe in production from 1991 to 2001. It was available with a range of inline-6 and V8 engines that displaced 3.0 to 4.0 liters.

Arguably the most beautiful coupe to have come out of Japan, the Mk1 Lexus SC boasts lines that are both distinctly 90s Japan and elegantly timeless. Its drivetrain is one of the most legendary from Toyota, too, with the SC 300 powered by a 2JZ-GE and the SC 400 powered by a 1UZ-FE, two of the best Japanese engines ever.

Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Lexus SC comes with double-wishbone + multi-link suspension setup.
