Spotlight
Engine
The 3.0 litre V6 engine and super intelligent 6-speed automatic transmission incorporate numerous state-of-the-art Lexus technologies to create imposing power and smooth, sharp acceleration. Just touch the accelerator, and your intentions combine with the car’s natural response and handling to foster instantaneous driving pleasure.
Robust Body
Lexus focuses on developing basic performance so that drivers can enjoy the feeling of being at one with the vehicle. Our engineers optimized the body’s overall rigidity balance, taking into account the vehicles characteristics as a convertible. In addition to the extensive use of high tensile steel sheeting for cross members and other structural elements, the IS300C delivers exceptional torsional rigidity and light weight through innovations such as effective placement of floor braces to increase coupling rigidity and a thick rocker structure. These features create the base for outstanding stability and control and make a significant contribution to sporty performance.
Orchestrating the appeal of a convertible
The lightweight aluminum roof is opened and closed by operating a single switch. The smooth series of movements, which requires only a short time to complete, is even artistic in its beauty.The status of the hardtop is indicated on the multi-information display, allowing you to verify the completion of operation from the driver’s seat. In addition, the hardtop interlinks with theLexus parking assist sensor, which detects obstacles near the vehicle, to help assure safety during opening and closing.
State of the art Vehicle Control with VDIM
The ISC300 features VDIM (Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management), an advanced integrated control system that combines sophisticated active safety functions with optimized stability and control, as standard for all models. VDIM integrates operation of system such as TRC (Traction Control System), and ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) with EBD (Electronic Brake force Distribution) which normally operate independently. In addition, it consolidates control of the EPS (Electric Power Steering). As a result, VDIM helps to optimize the driving performance of the vehicle’s basic operations-accelerating, cornering and braking.
