The RC might be the newest, hottest coupe from Lexus these days, but there was a time when the SC was in its position. Our forum members have done great jobs of taking the original L-badged two-doors far beyond their original capabilities. For instance, take a look at deputy865’s Diamond White Pearl 1995 SC300.
Since the SC is the Supra’s uptown cousin, tuners can get crazy power out of them relatively easily. But you have to think this fire breathing Lexus surprised some folks when it decided to light them up. Enjoy.
Everyone got excited when Lexus revealed the LF-LC concept vehicle back in 2012. Lexus never got into details whether the car would go into production. Now we know what they’re planning. They’ll call it, the SC.
By now, you’ve probably seen Lexus’ RC from every angle possible. If you haven’t you can get a good look at it here. Style is important and everything… But what about the substance?
Daigo Saito’s SC430 is an odd duck in the world of drifting. V8’s are generally popular because they make gobs of power easily. Rebellious drifter Daigo scrapped the SC430’s V8 for a turbo six-cylinder legend: a 900hp 2JZ… on low boost.
Fans of VIP car culture might recognize these cars as Liberty VIP’s GS 400 and SC 430. Both are a masterclass in fitment and VIP style. There’s just something about a bagged, flush Lexus that oozes cool. Check out the video after the jump.
