Toyota introduced this Lexus SC430 as the successor to... The 80 Supra for the Super GT racing series. The 2008 series in which it debuted was a heated contest right down to the last race! But when the Petronas Tom's car crossed the finish line and took the team title... It established itself as a champion car for the history books. By the way, did you know that the base SC430 was a vario-roof convertible? To get it battle-ready, Toyota built a reinforced roof that combined a roll cage and carbon panels... and fit it over the original. In other words, the SC430 GT500 is in fact built upon a coupe body!

The Lexus SC is a grand tourer series. The 2nd-gen model, SC430, was a hardtop convertible powered by a mighty V8 engine. You see them quite often in the U.S. The first-gen model was designed at Calty, a Toyota design studio located in California. However, this SC430 was mainly conceived at design studios in Europe. A competitor at Japanese GT races, it received aerodynamic upgrades for the 2008 season... During which it tore up the high-speed tracks.

**A similar behavior occurs with the RC F GT500's rear Tom's badge and the R92CP's front Nissan badge.
