2005 Lexus SC 430 Pebble Beach Edition

As a Brand Partner and Preferred Vehicle of Pebble Beach Resorts, Lexus is proud to unveil the third annual Pebble Beach Edition of the SC 430 hardtop convertible. This exclusive automobile - only 500 will be available - pays homage to the timeless classics shown at Pebble Beach. The exterior color is a beautiful tigereye mica, and the leather interior is a warm camel with espresso bird's-eye maple wood trim. Special Pebble Beach badging highlights the front fenders, the center console, and the floor mats. Each SC 430 Pebble Beach Edition comes with a complimentary custom-designed two-piece leather luggage set, which matches the vehicle colors. The 2006 Pebble Beach Edition also comes with a new 6-speed transmission and new adaptive front head-lights. Also included are a Mark Levinson nine-speaker, seven-channel, DSP-amplified audio system and a Lexus DVD Navigation system, which acknowledges the advanced technology in the future classic from Lexus.
To commemorate its four-year exclusive partnership with Pebble Beach Company, Lexus introduced its second annual 2005 Lexus SC Pebble Beach Edition retractable hardtop convertible. Únveiled at the 'Lexus Style in the Fast Lane' fashion show on August 13 at the world-famous Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, this 2005 SC features stunning black and red vintage styling cues from automotive classics. While only 600 are slated for production, its dramatic design and numerous luxury features make the car even more alluring than its exclusivity.

As with any SC, the first thing to notice is its spectacular exterior styling. And that's especially true of this edition, considering the never-before-seen exclusive Black Diamond body color and chrome wheels with graphite accents. The Special Edition has specially-made Pebble Beach badging on the front fender and inside on the floor mats. Also inside, the SC reveals vintage colors while maintaining a modern design, with premium Pimento Red leather-trimmed seating surfaces and black bird's-eye maple trim. Even more unique are the subtle details such as a red and silver engine cover, black headlights and red scuff plate illumination. Additionally, each Lexus SC Pebble Beach Edition comes equipped with a complimentary black Lexus and Pebble Beach Company Tumi® tri-fold garment bag. Únlike most Tumi products, which are made of ballistic nylon, this customized bag is made crafted in full leather.

Of course, one of the most impressive features on the Lexus SC is its ability to hide the roof within the confines of its trunk in a mere 25 seconds, while still maintaining enough room for luggage. All without latches, catches, snaps or covers. And when the top is up, it defies traditional convertible logic by remaining solid, secure and weatherproof-sans flutters, drafts or leaks. Únderneath its beautiful skin, the Lexus SC hosts a 300-horsepower, 4.3-liter V8 engine.

2005 Lexus SC 430 Pebble Beach EditionFor ultimate listening pleasure, Lexus teamed up with Mark Levinson®-designers of the ultimate in custom home audio systems-to create a sound system available exclusively in Lexus vehicles. The SC features a nine-speaker, seven-channel, DSP-amplified system, complete with an in-dash, single-feed, six-disc CD auto-changer. What's truly amazing about this system is that it monitors whether you have the top up or down, and adjusts the frequency equalization, and volume and bass response accordingly. The end result is a quality of sound that truly mimics a live performance.

The 2005 Lexus SC Pebble Beach Edition will be available for purchase beginning in early September 2004.
