1996 Lexus SC300 468 HP Custom

This is one of the fastest SC300’s you will find! The heart of this wicked beast is a 2JZ engine that has been retrofitted with a Precision twin ball bearing turbo which has been dyno tuned and is putting 468hp to the rear wheels. It was just tuned and runs incredibly. You will find that this is a top of the line build and the car has been fitted with high pressure fuel injectors, a high pressure fuel pump, a turbo timer and an AEM engine management system. Getting the power to the rear end is a snap with its Stage II racing clutch and it sounds just plain nasty ripping through its Flowmaster performance exhaust system. The car was lowered 2 inches and currently rides on TIEN adjustable coil over damper shocks with a stabilizer bar. The brakes were upgraded with cross drilled and slotted rotors and it has all stainless steel brake lines. In addition to all of the performance upgrades you will also find the wood has been removed from the interior and replaced with carbon fiber parts including the rear package tray. The seats have brand new leather and cushions and the stereo has been upgraded with Rockford Fosgate speakers, amps and a sub. The thing that really sets this car off is the custom body kit with hood scoop which has been blended in so well it looks like it came from the factory. Not only is the body work perfect but the paint is a flawless House of colors black with red metallic that perfectly compliments the red carbon fiber racing stripe that gradually fades into real looking flames on both ends. The custom forged MB Motorsport wheels were painted to match as well and are wrapped in a new set of Goodyear F1 tires. All said and done over $30,000 was spent to customize this car less than 2,000 miles ago and that did not include the original cost of the car. If you are in the market for a fast and reliable toy you will be hard pressed to find a better value than this one. If you like what you see don’t wait till it’s gone to call!

US buyers show little interest in big hybrids

Sat, May 10 2014

The idea of producing large, luxury-vehicle hybrids is turning into a "what were they thinking?" exercise in futility, USA Today reports. General Motors is discontinuing hybrid versions of the Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon SUVs, while Mercedes-Benz and Toyota's Lexus division are doing the same with their S-Class hybrid and LS hybrid sedans, respectively. The culprit? Big price increases for fuel economy improvements that border on the unimpressive. Granted, the Escalade hybrid gets 31 percent better fuel economy than the standard version, but that still maps out to a combined fuel-efficiency rating of just 21 miles per gallon. That can be seen as a worthwhile increase, if it didn't cost over $8,000 extra. The 2014 Escalade Hybrid, for example, starts at $74,425 while the non-hybrid can be had for $66,295. Meanwhile, the Lexus full-size hybrid costs $6,000 more than the regular version but only gets 1-2 mpg better combined fuel economy. The result of all these high costs? Low sales. Through April, GM sold 82 of its hybrid SUVs and pickups, down from 541 a year earlier. And the LS hybrid sales were in single-digit territory for April. That isn't stopping Lexus from promoting its hybrids as the right solution (with the wrong facts), though. There are still automakers giving big hybrid vehicles a shot, though. Nissan's Infiniti division is selling a hybrid version of its QX60 and says an impressive 10 percent of QX60 buyers choose the hybrid, which costs just $3,000 more. Looks like money talks.

Lexus pushing upmarket as others move down, LF-LC production hinted [w/video]

Mon, 09 Dec 2013

Jeff Bracken, Lexus' US group vice president and general manager, knows his company lost its position as America's biggest luxury brand back in 2011, and it's a mantle that his employer probably won't be getting back any time soon. That's because Lexus is electing not to follow the luxury segment's downmarket trend any more than its $32,500 CT 200h hybrid hatchback. "Since we won't be going down below $30,000, it will be very difficult for us to ever regain luxury leadership," Bracken admitted on Autoline After Hours late last week.
Rivals Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi all have new low-end entries on sale or in the wings to entice new buyers and fortify their CAFE scores, but Lexus has Toyota and Scion to capture sales underneath its lineup. Instead, Bracken hints that Lexus is going upmarket and higher-performance, fueling ongoing rumors of a LFA successor, or perhaps a new offering based on the lauded 2012 LF-LC coupe concept shown above, a production version of which could also slot in where the unloved SC convertible left off. "We need to begin bringing to market luxury performance... higher performance vehicles. IS-F certainly was the beginning of that, maybe on the lower end," says Bracken.
Later in the online video interview show, Bracken gets even more candid:

Lexus LC 500 coming to Detroit Auto Show

Sun, Dec 6 2015

Believe it or not, it's been nearly four years since we first saw the Lexus LF-LC Concept. Its swoopy style and spindle grille kicked off a big design revolution for Lexus, and we saw a number of LF-LC design elements work their way onto production cars. But now, rumor has it a full-on production version will see the light of day, and soon. Motoring.com.au says the LC 500 coupe will show its face at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show in January, and we have little reason to doubt this. In fact, it's kind of been a long time coming. The LC was reportedly approved for production in 2013, and though we were told it might resurrect the SC name, Lexus filed copyright applications for "LC 500" and "LC 500h." Oh, and a prototype of this car was recently spotted testing. The LC 500 will arrive with – no surprise here – Lexus' naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8, plucked from the RC F and GS F. That said, Motoring says it could arrive with a new, 10-speed automatic transmission from Aisin. As for the LC 500h, Motoring thinks it'll be powered by a, 3.5-liter V6-based hybrid drive system that could produce something like 470 horsepower – not the current V6/hybrid unit from the GS 450h. A hotter LC F should follow in a couple of years, and earlier reports suggest it could make something like 600 horsepower. Of course, Lexus refuses to comment on future product speculation, so we don't have any official proof that this is actually happening. But it all makes a lot of sense. Watch this space in two months' time for more details.
