The Lexus SC was first launched by the luxury division of Toyota in 1991. But if there was nothing impressive about the design back then, all changed with the launch of the second generation in 2002. But this is still not enough. If Lexus wants to still be important on the personal luxury coupe class they need to do something about it. And they will with the launch of the third generation SC in 2009.  The launch of the LF-A Roadster Concept at the Detroit Auto Show gave us a pretty good idea of how the future Lexus models will look like. And inspired by the Concept’s design here’s how we presume the third generation SC might look like. Lexus has to come with something big that will easily compete with models like BMW 3-Series. In order to do this, the exterior changes aren’t the only one that are required. There are important changes required under the hood too. Click on read to find out more about the 2010 Lexus SC. According to various sources the future generation SC will be powered by the same engines as the current generation LS (meaning that the next generation SC will be called SC460?). This will mean a 4.6 liter V8 engine that delivers 380 hp@6,400 rpm. But on the other hand, this will mean 100 hp more than the current SC only has a maximum power of 280 Hp we seriously doubt that. Also on the second hand the BMW 335i only has a maximum power of 300 hp and Lexus’ target is the 3-Series we presume the SC’s output will also be around 300 hp. The 2010 Lexus SC will make the 0 to 60 mph sprint in less than 5.5 seconds and will hit a top speed of 155 mph.

The body paint was just right. Impressive engine performance!
 SSCTuatra (368) Posted on 10.12.2011 It looks like the Roadster, but I’m still so fond and impressed with this. The interior touch gives the impression that the interior of this SC is so cozy and comfortable. I wonder if they bring this one on the market?
 allan_tom (337) Posted on 09.7.2011 I like the car lines that it had seems so perfect on it. Sounds great to know that it is a 4 seater convertible car. It seems so fun to drive.
 adriansmith (806) Posted on 03.10.2010 Its not better built or offer better luxury, its not as smooth more reliable or has better attention to detail then the SC. The SC is a great if not one of the best luxury cruisers.
 Nash_blue (282) Posted on 03.8.2010 this car is BMW’s enemy and can compete against BMW’s supercar. So watch out BMW coz here comes Lexus.
 Nic_walsh (397) Posted on 02.18.2010 I assume that it’s a very fun to drive, putting the pedal to the metal would be a great experience to this baby.
 A.J.Penfold (6686) - Posted on 03.10.2008 I think you’re cunfusing e few different models here.The LF-A is a new model,not the next SC.The SC is not competing with the BMW 3-series bracket,it’s one step up.Lexus may very well compete with an IS convertible that allegedly has been spottet during testing.
