In only 12 years, Lexus has emerged as a true luxury car powerhouse. But to really be aligned with the premier Euro-brands like Mercedes-Benz and BMW, a company has to offer more than just exceptional luxury cars and SUVs. For real prestige, a little fun is in order. A brand needs a head turner, a truly rare offering to match an SL or Z-8. Well, Lexus thinks so, too. But be warned, the newest Lexus is not just a low volume drop top. In fact, Lexus honchos consider the new 2002 SC 430 the ‘‘Jewel of Lexus,’’ inspired by the ambience of the French Riviera. Because that’s where Lexus sent its team of designers to rouse their creative juices before applying mouse to computer screen. And from the looks of the SC 430, it was a successful venture. As the SC 430’s face, with its signature Lexus grille and jeweled headlamps, impart an attitude of elegance with a hint of aggressiveness. That hint of aggressiveness is reinforced by the sculpted character lines that free flow from below the hood, across the peaks of the SC 430’s broad shoulders, rounding down at the rear, where they then form a subtle aerodynamic trunk lip. But the SC 430’s stylistic crowning achievement is a retractable aluminum-alloy hardtop that stows neatly under the rear deck lid with the touch of a single switch. It takes less than 25 seconds to transform you from Lexus insulation to wind-in-the-hair exhilaration. Although there is a penalty paid in cargo space, especially if you opt to forego the optional run-flat tires and go with a spare. That cuts the 9.4 cubic feet capacity down to 8.8. So, travel fashionably light! But the SC isn’t about cargo capacity, it is about passionate motoring. And providing the motivation for that pursuit is this 4.3 liter, DOHC, 32-valve, V-8, with variable valve timing. It also powers the GS 430 sedan. Output is a strong, but smooth, 300 horsepower and 325 pound- feet of torque. The rear drive SC also uses the GS 430’s seamless 5-speed automatic with ‘‘snow’’ and ‘‘power’’ modes. Even with traction control, this Lexus offspring does a dash to 60 in just 5.9 seconds. Not surprisingly, the SC 430 has ride and handling characteristics that are clearly Lexus DNA. That’s to say, smooth, stable, and quiet, if almost too removed from the feel of the road. While the vehicle-speed sensing rack and pinion steering is precise and accurate, it’s hard to sense exactly what the front wheels are doing. But should that lack of feedback cause you to over extend yourself, there’s the nearly invisible Vehicle Skid Control stability system to back you up. As well as 4-wheel disc brakes with meaty 11.7 inch ventilated discs at the front and 12.1 inch solid discs at the rear. Keeping the SC 430 firmly planted falls to the four wheel independent double wishbone suspension. With coil springs and gas shocks at the corners, and stabilizer bars at the front and rear, it’s a set up that’s also been adapted from the GS 430. But it doesn’t have to work too hard, as the SC 430’s stiff structure was designed with drop top motoring in mind from the get-go. And so was the SC 430’s luxurious and superbly appointed interior, that can be trimmed in either Bird’s-Eye Maple or Burled Walnut wood. Driver and front friend get plush Bader leather seats with 10 way power and 4 manual adjustments. Seat heat makes top down driving most enjoyable on cool days. One points the SC by way of a wood and leather adjustable steering wheel with integrated audio and cruise controls, and faces a trio of Ferrari-ish recessed gauges trimmed in chrome. The center stack is topped by an optional navigation system, with a fully automatic climate control system underneath that also compensates for climate changes when the top is down without any additional fiddling. A sweet-sounding Mark Levinson audio system with cassette and 6-disc in-dash changer and 9 speakers, also includes a separate equalization program for top down driving. Lexus bills the SC 430 as a 2+2 coupe, but we can’t imagine anyone riding in the back. Better to look at that space as a plush little cargo hold. Base price on the 2002 Lexus SC 430 is $58,455. The three available options, run-flat tires, navigation system, and rear spoiler, will run $400, $2,000, and $440, respectively. So a fully loaded SC 430 will hit the streets for $61,840 including destination charge. Lexus plans to import just 12,000 SC 430s the first year, and so far has orders on hand for nearly 7,000 vehicles. With numbers like that, it’s clear that the 2002 Lexus SC 430 is turning the right kind of heads, and that Lexus is ready to match prestigious Euro-brands at every turn.

Lexus LF-LC GT ready to hit Gran Turismo

Mon, Feb 2 2015

Lexus might not have as rich a motorsport history as its parent company Toyota does, but it's not been without its racing activities – fielding the LFA in the VLN series at the Nurburgring and powering Daytona Prototypes in American endurance racing, but especially in Japan's own Super GT touring car series. That's where it recently rolled out the RC F GT500 is to replace the aging SC430, fighting for the championship last season right up to the bitter end. And this year it will bring a similar version of the RC F to GT3 racing as well. But before it does, the Japanese automaker has given us another racing machine to lust over Â– only this one is just for the virtual reality of Gran Turismo 6. Following the two teaser images that previewed its reveal, Polyphony Digital (the studio behind the Gran Turismo franchise) has revealed the new Lexus LF-LC GT. The latest in the Vision Gran Turismo series of virtual racers, the Lexus concept starts with the LF-LC show car revealed at the Detroit Auto Show back in 2012, but applies to it some of the same queues as the aforementioned RC F racer. The bodywork melds into extended aprons to keep the car glued to the digital track, there's a side-exit exhaust, carbon hood and roof, a giant rear wing, gargantuan diffuser and lightweight alloys on racing slicks. It's even got the rainbow-swirled white paint job of the RC F GT3 concept. Technical details weren't released, but then this concept wasn't designed to hit any real road or track any time in the near future, anyway. Related Video:

Toyota cuts production target by 300,000 vehicles due to parts and chips shortages

Sat, Sep 11 2021

TOKYO - Toyota cut its annual production target by 300,000 vehicles on Friday as rising COVID-19 infections slowed output at parts factories in Vietnam and Malaysia, compounding a global shortage of auto chips. "It's a combination of the coronavirus and semiconductors, but at the moment it is the coronavirus that is having the overwhelming impact," Kazunari Kumakura, an executive at the world's biggest car maker, said after the company revised its production target. Unlike other big global automakers that were forced earlier to scale back production plans, Toyota had managed to avoid cuts to output because it had stockpiled key components along a supply chain hardened against disruption following northeast Japan's devastating earthquake in 2011. Toyota's announcement on Friday is a further sign that no part of the global car industry has escaped the affects of a pandemic that has sapped sales and is hobbling its ability to take advantage of the recovery in demand that followed the initial waves of COVID-19. Car sales in China in August fell by almost a fifth from a year earlier because there were fewer vehicles for people to buy. Toyota now expects to build 9 million vehicles in the year to March 31, rather than 9.3 million. It did not revise its 2.5 trillion yen ($22.7 billion) operating profit forecast for the business year. Adding to a 360,000-vehicle cut in worldwide production in September, Toyota said on Friday it will reduce output by a further 70,000 this month and by 330,000 in October. It hopes to make up some of that lost production before its year-end. Demand for chips has soared during the pandemic as consumer electronic companies rush to meet stay-at-home demand for their smartphones, tablets and other devices. A heavy reliance on Southeast Asian factories for parts is a headache for Toyota, but its also a problem for its rivals that have struggled with what Volkswagen has described as "very volatile and tight" chip supplies. The German carmaker has warned it may need to cut production further as a result. Ford last month shut down production at a plant in Kansas that builds its best-selling F-150 pick up because of parts supply woes, with Renault extending partial stoppages at factories in Spain. Mercedes this month said it expects chip shortages to significantly lower third quarter sales.

Bring back the Bronco! Trademarks we hope are actually (someday) future car names

Tue, Mar 17 2015

Trademark filings are the tea leaves of the auto industry. Read them carefully – and interpret them correctly Â– and you might be previewing an automaker's future product plans. Yes, they're routinely filed to maintain the rights to an iconic name. And sometimes they're only for toys and clothing. But not always. Sometimes, the truth is right in front of us. The trademark is required because a company actually wants to use the name on a new car. With that in mind, here's a list of intriguing trademark filings we want to see go from paperwork to production reality. Trademark: Bronco Company: Ford Previous Use: The Bronco was a long-running SUV that lived from 1966-1996. It's one of America's original SUVs and was responsible for the increased popularity of the segment. Still, it's best known as O.J. Simpson's would-be getaway car. We think: The Bronco was an icon. Everyone seems to want a Wrangler-fighter Â– Ford used to have a good one. Enough time has passed that the O.J. police chase isn't the immediate image conjured by the Bronco anymore. Even if we're doing a wish list in no particular order, the Bronco still finds its way to the top. For now (unfortunately), it's just federal paperwork. Rumors on this one can get especially heated. The official word from a Ford spokesman is: "Companies renew trademark filings to maintain ownership and control of the mark, even if it is not currently used. Ford values the iconic Bronco name and history." Trademarks: Aviator, AV8R Company: Ford Previous Use: The Aviator was one of the shortest-run Lincolns ever, lasting for the 2003-2005 model years. It never found the sales success of the Ford Explorer, with which it shared a platform. We Think: The Aviator name no longer fits with Lincoln's naming nomenclature. Too bad, it's better than any other name Lincoln currently uses, save for its former big brother, the Navigator. Perhaps we're barking up the wrong tree, though. Ford has made several customized, aviation themed-Mustangs in the past, including one called the Mustang AV8R in 2008, which had cues from the US Air Force's F-22 Raptor fighter jet. It sold for $500,000 at auction, and the glass roof Â– which is reminiscent of a fighter jet cockpit Â– helped Ford popularize the feature. Trademark: EcoBeast Company: Ford Previous Use: None by major carmakers.
