About this vehicle
Appriciated potential and the car that turns heads ! 1-st Gen Lexus SC 400 is a very rare car.In 9 years of production less than 50.000 units were made.It is a magnificent engineering masterpiece.It has a unique grace that makes its own statement.It is beautifully styled and eminently refined.Its fenders blend well with the tail and the hood.The accented line of the hood goes down toward the center of the rounded nose, then veers outward in distinctive and stylized " L " that symbolizes Lexus logo-touch perfected in a harmony of thought and line. The door hinges that hold really heavy and massive doors are fascinating state of the art.They are thick as a brick and employ reinforcement that could be seen on cruise ships.All cars that are 10 years and old develop a squeking sound when opening and closing doors.Not this one because it is methodically engineered and assembled.After three decades the doors still open and close silently and effortlessly just like the first day that the car arrived to the dealership from Japan.The trunk lid and the hood are really heavy and massive too, the whole car is built like a bullet-proof tank .In a case of a bad accident it is a very safe enviroment. Double-Wishbone Suspension is firm yet smooth and absorbent.It feels like riding on a cloud.You can drive SC 400 over the railroad tracks and it will feel like you are on the airport tarmac. The cabin is so quiet that you can use it as a recording studio."Even at 55 miles per hour the sound is so pure". You can put SC 400 on rollers just like its older brother LS 400 and place 15 champaign glasses on its hood.You can than quickly accelerate from stop and shift through all the gears to reach the equivalent top speed of over 145 miles per hour and engine will produce no vibrations to brake a single glass and not a single drop of liquid will be spilled." Because even at the equivalent of 145 miles per hour Lexus SC 400 and its older brother LS 400 are designed to stir the soul...and not much else." Near perfect wheel that is telescopic and power-operated rises in front of luminiscent (" glows in the dark") instrument layout. Visibility is excellent in all directions because the glass surfaces are generously -sized with reasonably thin pillars. The buttons on a dashboard are all clearly marked and everything is positioned in plain sight, right where you expect to find it. Lovely leather bucket seats are heated and power-operated with lumbar support.They are soft and strikingly comfortable. Cruise control ,automatic climate control, projector headlights( upgrade from reflector headlights).Power operated side rear view mirrors and anti glare inside rearview mirror.Four wheel disk ABS brakes.16-inch alloy wheels.Front -impact airbags for the driver and the passenger.Factory installed alarm.Power antenna that pops up when you turn on the radio.Power-operated sunroof. Lexus/Nakamichi premium sound system with 12 disc-CD changer.California wallnut wood trim is a touch of a very special and classy car. Color-keyed rear spoiler with LED high mount stop lamp. The only thing more fun than looking at SC 400 is driving it.It is fast, silent and just about perfect.Silky smooth V8 engine produces 250 horse powers that propels the car from 0-60 in 6.7 seconds which is pretty impressive even by today's standard.The outstanding and timeless design posesses no straight edges and produces a drag coefficient of 0.31.EPA rating: 19 mpg city/25 mpg hgwy. In early ninties Lexus stole the lunch of Mercedes and BMW because Toyota was able to undercut the competition on price without compomising on quality.Seller's Notes
