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.
