The first-generation SC debuted as the [[V8 engine|V8]]-powered SC 400 in 1991, and the [[Straight-6|I6]]-powered SC 300 was added in 1992, both manufactured until 2000. The second-generation model, the SC 430, went into production in 2001, as a retractable hardtop convertible coupe with a [[V8 engine]]. The first-generation SC was largely styled in California at [[Calty]], and the second-generation SC was mainly conceived at design studios in Europe. In Japan, the related third-generation [[Toyota Soarer]], with which the first-generation SC originally shared body design and multiple components, featured a separate line-up of vehicle configurations and different powertrains. The third generation Soarer [[sports car|sport coupe]], largely identical to the SC 430, was superseded by its Lexus counterpart in Japan when the Lexus [[marque]] débuted there in 2005. The SC was the sole coupé in the Lexus lineup until the arrival of the [[Lexus IS#IS C|IS C]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.autotrader.co.uk/EDITORIAL/CARS/FEATURES/car_review_lexus_sc430.html |title=Lexus SC430 – Lexus 4.3 Coupe |publisher=Autotrader |access-date=3 July 2009 |last=Higgins |first=Adrian}}</ref> According to Lexus, the SC designation stands for Sport Coupe.<ref name=spy/> The [[Lexus LC|LC]] replaced the SC lineup in 2017. __TOC__{{clear}}
