Lexus SC430 Safety Upgrade
Lexus today announced that it had increased the passive safety features of its SC430 retractable hardtop coupe, by adding an additional two SRS airbags. The new and improved Lexus SC430 will come with a driver and front passenger knee SRS airbags.
So alltogether the Lexus SC430 now comes with a tota of six SRS airbags as standard equipment – driver and front passenger SRS airbags, front seat side airbags, and knee airbags. Another cool feature of the SC430 is it's ability to detect if there is a passenger in the passenger seat and make sure the air bag doesn't go off for no reason in the event of a collision.
Furthermore the SC430 now has front-seat SRS airbag indicators in the instrument cluster and a front passenger seatbelt warning buzzer if the belt is not buckled. All the new safety features will come standard for all Lexus SC430s built from this month (August 2006).
The Lexus SC430 has a 4.3-litre VVT-i Quad Cam Multi-valve V8 engine that delivers 210kW of power at 5600rpm and 419Nm of torque at 3500rpm and is matched to an electronic six-speed automatic transmission, the SC430 gets from 0-100 in 6.4 seconds and costs around $161,000 AUD plus on-roads.
