2010 Lexus SC 430 Details Unveiled

Toyota's very own division Lexus today released details about the 2010 SC 430 that will be offered with a wide array of interior technology and exterior enhancements. The car is still powered by a 4.3-liter V8 engine that generates 288 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque and mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Thanks to these settings, the 2010 SC 430 goes from naught to sixty in 5.8 seconds, according to official figures.

As for the exterior features, the car comes equipped with new 18-inch six-spoke wheels with a dark finish and side mirrors with integrated puddle lamps. The range also includes a new exterior color, the Costa Azul Mica, which raises the number of available paintings to nine.

Inside, the car boasts an updated Lexus Navigation System and Mark Levinson Premium Audio System, with the audio package now featuring iPod and USB connectivity, auxiliary audio input, Bluetooth and music streaming features.

"Genuine wood trim is used liberally throughout the SC 430 interior, including the center console, doors and instrument panel, plus a matching wood-trim shift knob and a wood-trim cover panel for the dual front cup holders. A dark brown wood color called Espresso Birds-eye Maple is paired with the Camel color leather-trim interior. Walnut wood trim is used with the Ecru and black leather-trim interiors," Lexus explained.

Safety relies on a four-sensor, four-channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA) and Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) with traction control (TRAC).

All new Lexus are now offered with a 48 month/50,000 mile basic limited warranty comprising roadside assistance for 48 months and unlimited miles.
