This is a quick walk around showcasing and reviewing my daily driver car, a Renaissance Red 1998 Lexus SC400.
With only 1024 made, the 1998 SC400 is a limited production luxury sports coupe, that features the VVT-i 1UZ-FE V8 Toyota engine and a new for 1998 5-speed automatic transmission with gated wood shifter. The SC series is rear wheel-drive. The car produces 290hp stock and 310lb ft of torque, and averages 18/25 mpg. I drive this car everyday for work and for pleasure and it has been a fantastic machine. The chasis was modeled from scratch- the SC is not a 2-door LS, nor is it a spin-off on the Supra. From 1992 to 2000, Lexus SC400 punched high above its sticker price, but didn't yet have the brand recognition to really take off. In 2001, the SC430 replaced the 400, but was designed to be an old lady's convertible toy, losing the sleek Japanese sports car characteristics of the 90s SC. The SC series was discontinued completely in 2010 and replaced by the current Lexus LC500. Feel free to ask any questions or leave comments below!
