EXTERIOR

The top retracts in seconds

Simply touch a button and in a few moments the lightweight but remarkably strong aluminium top retracts. Lexus was one of the first innovators of the retractable hardtop in the premium luxury car segment, something that has been mimicked by many other car makers since.

Slip into something more aerodynamic

Designed in a boutique Lexus studio on the French Riviera, the styling not only captures your attention with its adventurous curves. Its aerodynamic form slips along breathlessly with low drag, ensuring Lexus renowned standards of quietness may still be savoured with the top down.

Chic 18" alloy wheels

The SC 430 is fitted with 18" alloys, exclusively designed for the SC 430 that enhance the body's sleek lines, while low profile 245/40 ZR18 tyres optimise handling.

Intuitive rain sensing wipers

You'll be able to keep your mind focused on your driving as rain sensing wipers activate on your behalf. When in 'Auto Mode', the wipers activate on your behalf the moment the sensor detects the first drops of rain on the windscreen.

The clarity of rain dispersing glass

For a clearer vision on rainy days, a water repellent coating on the front side windows accelerates dispersion of water droplets as you drive.

Heated exterior mirrors

To help your rear visibility on wet days, external mirrors are heated, activating whenever the rear de-mister is turned on.

INTERIOR

Feel snugly supported in ultra soft leather

Within the natural leather interior, sculpted seats hold you during spirited motoring. Power adjustment puts your perfect seating position right at your fingertips, for total comfort. For added simplicity, two memory settings allow the driver's and front passenger's preferred seat positions to be restored in an instant.

Climate control that knows when the roof is down

You'll remain comfortably cocooned within the luxury interior, as an intelligent climate control system automatically redirects air flow to where it is needed most. It's even smart enough to know when the top is up or down, so it can intuitively compensate for frosty breezes above you or the summer's baking sun.

Perhaps the finest audio ever in a convertible

Immerse yourself in music even with the top down, with a system by renowned audiophile designer Mark Levinson. Lauded by many as the one of the finest ever in a convertible, the system incorporates an Automatic Sound Leveliser which fine tunes audio quality to compensate for changing audio dynamics.
