Lexus Introduces Pebble Beach® Edition LS 600h L & SC430

Production of these 2009 Pebble Beach Edition vehicles are limited to
50 LS 600h L flagship hybrid luxury sedans and 300 SC 430 hardtop convertibles.
Pebble Beach Edition owners have the opportunity to customize their ownership
experience by selecting from one of three distinctive merchandise packages:
Callaway Golf Experience, Travel Package or Epicurean Encounter.

The LS 600h L’s distinctive L-finesse styling is complemented by a unique exterior/interior
color combination exclusive to the Pebble Beach Edition with a Truffle Mica
exterior paint combined with an exclusive two-tone Alabaster and Black leather
trim interior with Dark Grey Bird’s-eye maple wood trim. Additional styling
cues include 19-inch, five-spoke wheels with a unique finish, Pebble Beach interior
badging, premium black floor mats with stainless steel badging, and blue illuminated
scuff plates. The Pebble Beach LS hybrid comes standard with the Advanced Pre-Collision
System (APCS) which incorporates the world’s first system designed to help detect
pedestrians in the vehicle’s path, as well as world’s first Driver Monitor System
that helps warn drivers if it senses an obstacle ahead of the car and that the
driver’s head is not facing forward. The APCS system helps prepare the car for
evasive action or collision by triggering appropriate sensors in the car and
retracting the front seatbelts. Furthermore, the Pebble Beach Edition LS 600h
L is equipped with the Advanced Parking Guidance System, Rear-Seat Entertainment
System (RSES), power rear-door sunshades and rear-seat side airbags.

Celebrating its sixth year, the new Pebble Beach Edition SC 430 receives an
exterior/interior color combination with a Mercury Metallic exterior paint and
an exclusive two-tone Ecru and Black leather trim interior with Black Bird’s-eye
maple wood trim. The retractable hardtop convertible includes special-edition
brushed chrome badging on the front fenders and center console, and an Ecru
The Lone Cypress™ logo embroidered on black carpeted floor mats. It also
features a color-keyed rear spoiler, 18-inch Machined Tourmaline alloy wheels,
and white illuminated scuff plates. All-season run-flat or summer run-flat tires
are available.

The Lexus partnership with Pebble Beach Resorts initiated in August of 2003
with the debut of the first Pebble Beach Edition SC 430. This established Lexus
as the Preferred Vehicle of Pebble Beach Resorts and has offered Pebble Beach
Edition Lexus owners a variety of amenities designed to evoke the exclusivity
that comes with an excursion to the Pebble Beach Resorts. Presently, guests
of Pebble Beach Resorts can experience the on-going partnership with complimentary
time in a Lexus test-drive vehicle or transportation service to and from several
locations in a Lexus Guest Transportation vehicle.

In February 2008, the Pebble Beach Edition RX 350 and ES 350 models were introduced
into the collection. The LS 600h L is the fourth vehicle model to receive a
Pebble Beach Edition package.

The 2009 SC 430 and LS 600h L Pebble Beach Edition vehicles go on sale in September
and October 2008, respectively.
