Still, as a bird of paradise which we do not know what we should find.

One thing is for sure: the SC430 was technically very solid in each other, let there be no misunderstandings about it. In addition, this luxury convertible was one of the first cars that the steel klapdak large made. Further, it was on the motor section also little to criticize. Or a 4.3-liter V8 with 286 hp and 419 Nm, you really can’t appeal to, but keep in mind that the SC430 these values already in 2001 took. With that block kachelde the Lexus in 6,4 count to 100 km/h, up to a governed top of 250 km/h. The plug was in fact around the year 2010 from this striking convertible pulled, that may be a little too much on the Us market it was aimed. To our liking than.

The build quality was, as I mentioned, absolutely mustache, on an occasional beep or kraakje after. Problem was that the SC430 is not determined to be the most exciting car in its class. That need not in itself be problematic, were it not for the Lexus with its list price of more than 100,000 euro in category of hot stuff was positioned.

Moreover, it was the appearance not exactly finger-licking good, let alone to eat. The manhole cover rims had something ‘special’ and that’s always nice, but it was the SC430 a few striking appearance in the street scene. On the other hand, you would also be viewed as a positive to be able to grasp it. Not every rich car enthusiast is waiting for the (positive and negative) attention that you as a supercarbezitter well once can expect. For those who are indeed greedy is: today, you pick for around 20,000 euro a great copy.

Question to you: is this SC430 as possible, yet the history books as a brilliant convertible, or is this a typical case of a car that was in oblivion will hit?
