The 2004 SC 430 hardtop convertible continues to seduce the world with its alluring style and impressive handling. At the touch of a button, the aluminum alloy top retracts, revealing the open sky. No matter how much you accelerate, the convertible's aerodynamic design reduces buffets and drafts when the top's down. Other state of the art highlights include the Mark Levinson® audio system, DVD navigation system and available run-flat tires, just to name a few. And of course, the SC features a remarkable 4.3 liter, 300 horsepower engine that'll renew your passion for driving.
