The Lexus SC 430 is a luxurious roadster that converts to a hardtop coupe with the press of a button. It's smooth and quiet, powerful and enjoyable to drive. Its interior is beautiful, comfortable, and luxurious. It's a terrific car for a long drive assuming you pack light. Though it has a vestigial rear seat, the SC 430 is, for all practical purposes, a two-seater.

For 2008, a new Pebble Beach Edition limited to 360 vehicles features unique exterior paint and interior trim. Apart from that, the Lexus SC 430 remains largely unchanged for 2008.

The Lexus SC 430 was facelifted for 2006.
