The SC300 Base is equipped with a Toyota 3.0 liter six-cylinder engine that utilizes 24 valves. The engine is mated to a Toyota 4-speed Transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Lexus.

Steering control is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The SC300 has power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. The car uses coil front springs and coil in the rear.

SC300 Base Statistics

The SC300 is 187.80 inches long, 70.10 inches wide, and 53.90 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 103.10 inches. It is able to seat 5 comfortably.

The standard warranty period for the SC300 is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first. This is standard in the coupe market.

The listed retail price in 1992 (MSRP) was $26,550, with an invoice cost of an industry-high price. This price is slightly higher than the industry average price for a two-door Coupe.

Fuel Efficiency

The 1992 SC300's normal fuel system runs on gas. The fuel is regulated electronically, with a fuel-injected multi-port fuel injection (MFI) style of design. The fuel tank holds 18.50 gallons.

The SC300 Base received a miles-per-gallon rating of 17 - 19 in-city driving and 24 - 26 when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green car, this was subpar.

In Summary
