PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING DETAILED DESCRIPTION FOR AN OVERVIEW OF THE CARS EXCELLENT CONDITION:-MECHANICAL CONDITIONSINCE ITS ARRIVAL I HAVE COVERED IN EXCESS OF 70 MILES IN THIS CAR DURING WHICH IT HAS PERFORMED FAULTLESSLY. THE ENGINE STARTS ON THE FLICK OF THE KEY WITH NO UNTOWARD SMOKE OR RATTLES, THE PERFROMANCE DELIVERED BY THE 6 CYLINDER 2.5 LITRE TWIN TURBO CHARGED POWER PLANT IS SIMPLY STUNNING & CERTAINLY NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED, THE GEARCHANGE ON THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS SEAMLESS, THE BRAKES, SUSPENSION, STEERING & ALL OTHER MAJOR MECHANICALS ARE IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER. THE ORIGINAL MOT FOR THE CAR WAS DUE TO EXPIRE ON THE 29TH OF THIS MONTH SO I HAVE JUST TAKEN IT IN FOR A NEW MOT WHICH IT PASSED & THE ONLY ADVISORIES IT CAME OUT WITH ARE 2 SEGMENTS OF THE HIGH LEVEL BRAKE LIGHT DONT WORK (NEEDS 2 NEW BULBS TO REPAIR) & THE OFF SIDE FRONT HEADLAMP HAS SOME CONDENSATION ON THE INSIDE (NEEDS DRYING OUT TO REPAIR) SO OVERALL THE CAR IS IN EXCELLENT MECHANICAL CONDITION.SERVICE HISTORY THE CAR HAD THE SAME OWNER FOR OVER 12 YEARS WHO HAS LOOKED AFTER IT VERY WELL. THERE ARE STACKS OF SERVICE RELATED INVOICES WITH THE CAR INCLUDING AN INVOICE DETAILING A CAM BELT CHANGE WHICH WAS DONE LESS THAN 9000 MILES AGO IN 2005. BODYWORK CONDITIONFINISHED IN DARK METALLIC GREEN THE CONDITION OF THE BODYWORK IS EXCELLENT ESPECIALLY WHEN CONSIDERING THAT THIS CAR IS 20 YEARS OLD. BEING HYPER CRITICAL THE ONLY THINGS I CAN CRITICISE ON THE BODYWORK ARE A DENT ON THE NEARSIDE REAR 1/4 PANEL ADJACENT TO THE BUMPER AS DETAILED IN PHOTO 10, THERE IS SOME CRAZED PAINT ON THE TOP EDGE OF THE REAR BUMPER AS DETAILED IN PHOTO 7 & THE NEARSIDE DOOR MIRROR CASING IS CRACKED AS DETAILED IN PHOTO 9.

I HAVE TESTED ALL OF THE CARS ELECTRICAL FEATURES & FOUND EVERYHING TO BE IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE CLIMATE CONTROL WHICH ALTHOUGH IT IS WORKING, I THINK IT WOULD BENEFIT FROM A GAS RECHARGE. ONE OTHER POINT TO NOTE IS THAT THE ALARM WILL REMOTELY LOCK THE DOORS, HOWEVER IT CURRENTLY DOES NOT UNLOCK THE DOORS SO THIS HAS TO BE DONE MANUALLY WITH THE KEY. DOCUMENTATIONTHE CAR WILL COME WITH THE V5 REGISTRATION DOCUMENT WHICH CURRENTLY DETAILS 2 PREVIOUS KEEPERS, THE CURRENT MOT CERTIFICATE WHICH EXPIRES ON THE 29TH MAY 2013, THE CURRENT TAX DISC WHICH EXPIRES ON THE 31ST MAY 2012, EVERY MOT CERTIFICATE FROM IMPORT WHICH WAS IN 1999, SEVERAL SERVICE RELATED INVOICES, THE ORIGINAL JAPANESE OWNERS BOOK PACK CONTAINING ALL OF THE RELEVANT OWNERS MANUALS INCLUDING THE REPRINT OF THE HANDBOOK IN ENGLISH, THE CLIFFORD ALARM/IMMOBILISER INSTALLATION CERTIFICATE, 1 KEY & 1 ALARM REMOTE.

| | Toyota Soarer 2.5TT Twin Turbo 350hp Lowered on Bilstein Delimited ( very fast ) .
1994 Toyota Soarer, 2.5TT Stunning performance, excellent handling. Full electric seats, leather interior, impressive Kenwood DNX5220BT Entertainment ...> navigation system that does everything you can imagine or need on a long journey. Upgraded speakers to match quality of the Kenwood. A sub woofer in parcel shelf to compliment speakers with sufficient bass. Plenty of room in the boot due to clever positioning of the sub. Sunroof works nice and smooth. It has a new front mounted intercooler, on standard turbos but with custom dump pipe, 3" decat & custom oval stainless back boxes. Also comes with Greddy E-Manage Blue piggy back ecu (on proper loom) and stealth mounted TDI progressive boost controller & 440cc injectors.. The end result is around 350bhp. Slightly lowered on Bilstein shocks, Tanabe springs, 17” TZW alloys five in total so no space saver biscuit wheel but an identical spare in boot. Four nearly new Falkern 452 tyres and a VGC Dunlop on spare wheel, LS400 front brakes, newish headlights with HID conversion. Electric fan with thermostat (replacing the viscous one) Geometry is fully sorted on 4 wheel laser alignment – This car handles like a dream. Mileage 102000 miles (speedo converted now) and has been run exclusively on Mobil 1 with oil changes every 5000 miles. Can average 28mpg on a long run when driven sensible. 3 months MOT but confident it will pass without any major issues, 6 months road tax. Very reliable and comfortable never let me down. Capable of putting pretty much anything to shame even on low boost setting. Delimited so no nasty cut out at 112mph. Carefully driven but can confirm 176mph top speed is still achievable. ( Won`t be trying that again any time soon ). £6.000+ has been spent modifying this Soarer. Everything has been done professionally. Good collection of history documents and receipts. Shall eventually be listing elsewhere for a straight sale but starting on this website.( TEST DRIVE SHALL ONLY BE POSSIBLE IF YOU PROVE YOU HAVE CORRECT INSURANCE. IT`S A LEGAL REQUIREMENT OF THE DVLA AND I DON`T WISH TO LOST MY BEAST )Please e-mail rather than calling to arrange a viewing. I would prefer to keep this but as i have three Jap cars already and no space after a recent divorce i`m looking at exchanging / selling this and my VGC Del Sol transtop for an MR2 Turbo of maybe 300ZX.

| | Toyota/Lexus Soarer V8 GT Limited 4.0 1991 - Bodykit, deep dish alloys .
Extremely regrettable sale of my Soarer. Was looking for one for about 2 years and drove up and down the country for the right one. Unfortunately we no ...> longer have the space or the funds for this rare car to give it the future it deserves. This is the 4 litre V8 Limited UZZ31 Soarer. Metallic green with a professionally fitted and sprayed bodykit and flared arches, smoothed spoilerless/badgeless boot and bonnet vents giving it a much more unique look (£3k, receipts to prove), full cat-back stainless exhaust system and 19" Ultralite alloys. No modifications have been done to the engine, just careful maintenance. It is a UZZ31 with the air suspension and EMV, climate control, cruise control and leather interior. Massive folder full of paperwork. MOT until June 14th, tax until end of June, insured until 20th June. No problems for the pending MOT. It has a Clifford alarm system that has been currently disconnected, as the battery for the remote has died. Will try and get this sorted for the buyer if I have time. Has been an absolute dream to drive both locally and up to my place of work in London (motorway MPG at around 28-32) and you can quite healthily waft around in sheer Lexus luxury or put your foot down for some V8 fun and games. It will make an excellent drift car with a W58 gearbox swap (if this is your thing, the swap is well documented on Driftworks and LSOC), however it was too much of a nice motor for me to give it that treatment :) The odometer reads 97000 (a mixture or pre-import kilometers and UK miles) - the clocks have been changed at some point (presumably to fix the well known `blinky dash` issue) - however the cambelt was changed at 112k (very recently by the looks of things). The auto gearbox is sound, kicks down without issue and the engine is the typical bulletproof 1UZFE. Recent plugs and leads, together with an ECU reset has kept it warbling along beautifully :) The adjustable High/Low air suspension has no problems whatsoever, and TEMS is functioning correctly. FULL SERVICE HAS BEEN UNDERTAKEN:* Full engine flush and oil/filter change less than 200 miles ago :)* Coolant flush/change less than 200 miles ago* Brand new spark plugs (today, in fact!)* Brand new HT leads (yesterday)* Distributor cap and rotor arms checked for wear - these appear to be quite recentRecent Work:* Good condition replacement seatbelts fitted* Replacement throttle position sensor* Replacement nearside rear height sensor and rod fitted* Exhaust cat > straight through welding There are a few issues that were on my list to fix - the car is nearly as old as me! - but will not get the chance to; however I do wish the prospective buyer to have a fully honest appraisal of what niggles annoyed me: * Driver`s side bolster has a small rip (common problem, an upholsterer could fix it for £50 if you were bothered) * There is a crack in the rear bumper to the right hand side of the numberplate - this is easily sorted with a small amount of plasticweld and a can of mixed paint/lacquer * The stereo amp has blown, and will need a replacement 4-channel amp in the boot. The CD changer is intact however I have also installed a JVC headunit as I needed bluetooth and iPod connection. * There are two 50p sized surface bubbles on the leading edge of the roof under the paint. This is the only corrosion on the car that I have noted. Been quoted £120 to sort this.* The rear leather seats have been stained at some point in the past, barely noticeable to be honest. * The exhaust gives a beautiful supercar-style throatyness to the ride. There are a few small blows at the interconnects for the sections however (as above) I will endeavour to get these sorted for pickup. If not it is a very quick job. * The Ultralite alloys will need a refurb, as the lacquer has blown (common diamond-cut issues) and there are a few kerb marks. I will supply a full set of 17" alloys in good condition with nearly new Falken tyres to the new owner. Be very sorry to see this drive away. This car turns more than heads, I kid you not. SMALL PRINTCash on collection only, deposit of £200 required via Buy It Now. Car is advertised elsewhere and I reserve the right to remove/edit this advertisement as necessary. I am trying to find every excuse under the sun to keep this car to be honest, so insulting offers, phone calls at two in the morning requesting I `drop the car off at Southampton Docks` or any flagrant time wasters will not be tolerated. 07773 022943 X

Toyota Soarer From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation , search The Soarer emblem The Toyota Soarer was a personal luxury GT coupé sold by Toyota in Japan from 1981 to 2004 built on the same manufacturing platform as the Supra . The Soarer débuted in 1981 with the Z10 series, replacing the Mark II Coupe , which took the form of an angular two-door coupé. In 1986, a more rounded Soarer was launched (the Z20 series). In 1991, the third generation (Z30 series) Toyota Soarer premiered in Japan. The Z30 series Soarers were also known as the Lexus SC 300/400 , a luxury coupe Toyota had commissioned for its new upscale Lexus division outside Japan. While sharing the same body style and multiple components as the first Lexus SC, the Z30 series Soarer lineup offered different powertrain specifications and multiple unique vehicle configurations. In its home market the Soarer was a competitor to the Nissan Leopard coupe. All versions of the Soarer featured a unique winged lion emblem (often mistakenly called a Griffin ) as the logo throughout the vehicle. In 2001, Toyota introduced a convertible successor which appeared in Japan as the fourth generation (Z40 series) Toyota Soarer, and elsewhere as the Lexus SC 430 . In contrast to previous versions, the fourth generation Soarer and Lexus SC models were largely equivalent. In 2005, following the introduction of Lexus in Japan, sales of the Z40 series Soarer were discontinued and the Lexus SC 430 became available in the Japanese market. Contents 1 Z10 series (1981-1985) 2 Z20 series (1986–1991) 3 Z30 series (1991-2000) 3.1 Z30 series Soarer models 3.2 JZZ30 Soarer 3.3 JZZ31 Soarer 3.4 UZZ30, UZZ31 and UZZ32 Soarer 4 Z40 series (2001-2005) 5 References 6 External links [ edit ] Z10 series (1981-1985) First generation Production 1981-1985 Body style(s) 2-door GT coupe Layout FR layout Engine(s) 2.0 L 1G-EU I-6 SOHC 2.0 L 1G-GEU I-6 DOHC 2.0 L M-TEU I-6 SOHC 2.8 L 5M-GEU I-6 DOHC 3.0 L 6M-GEU I-6 DOHC Transmission(s) 5 speed manual 4 speed automatic Wheelbase 2,660 mm (104.7 in) Length 4,655 mm (183.3 in) Width 1,695 mm (66.7 in) Height 1,360 mm (53.5 in) Curb weight 1,310 kg (2,900 lb) The Soarer made its first appearance at the 1980 Osaka International Motor Show with the name "EX-8", and the Z10 series Toyota Soarer was produced from February 1981 to December 1985, with 2.0L, 2.8L or 3.0L DOHC I-6 variants. The first generation Soarer debuted with a rear-wheel drive configuration [ 1 ] based on the A60 Supra . It boasted numerous technological items, such as touchscreen computer controlled air conditioning climate control (on all models excepting base models which featured standard fan/heater controls), digital speed and tachometer display using LED (that were differentiated between models), among other electronic features. The suspension utilized Macpherson type front struts with trailing arm type IRS in the rear. The vehicle also came with self-diagnosis maintenance reminders. There were a number of different engines available. GZ10=1G-EU or 1G-GEU MZ10=M-TEU or 5M-GEU MZ11=5M-GE or 6M-GEU MZ12=6M-GEU Early M-TEU powered MZ10s were different in some regards to later MZ10s. Some of the difference are listed below. Later MZ10s had a water to air intercooler Later MZ10s had an oil and water cooled turbo (as opposed to the oil cooled only turbo in the early MZ10s) The Z1X series Toyota Soarer was honored as Japan's Car of the Year for the 1981-1982 model years. The MZ12 was equipped with the following features: ABS Cruise Control 7 way adjustable (driver only) leather seats Toyota Electronically Modulated Suspension ( TEMS ) Digital Automatic climate control Audible Warning messages Electro multivision display (CRT type display), GT LTD Only [ edit ] Z20 series (1986–1991) Second generation Production 1986–1991 Body style(s) 2-door GT coupe (GZ20, MZ20) Convertible (MZ20 Aerocabin) Layout FR layout Engine(s) 2.0 L 1G-E I-6 SOHC 2.0 L 1G-GE I-6 DOHC 2.0 L 1G-FE I-6 DOHC 2.0 L 1G-GTE I-6 DOHC turbo 3.0 L 7M-GTE I-6 DOHC turbo Transmission(s) 5 speed manual R154 (7M-GTE) 5 speed manual W57/W58 (1G-GE/GTE) 4 speed A340E Automatic Wheelbase 2,670 mm (105.1 in) Length 4,675 mm (184.1 in) Width 1,725 mm (67.9 in) Height 1,335 mm (52.6 in) Curb weight 1,510 kg (3,300 lb) The Z20 series Toyota Soarer was produced from January 1986 to April 1991, and was available in several variants. The styling of the second generation Soarer is similar of that of the X80 series Cressida , Mark II , Chaser and Cresta . [ 1 ] The Soarer shared its platform with the newly introduced A70 series Supra . In 1988, TOM'S released a limited model package named the C5. The 7M-GTE in the Tom's C5 Soarer saw the power upgrades similar to those seen in the Turbo-A Supra of the same year. In April 1989 a limited 500 unit production of the Aerocabin version was also available. This came with only 2 seats and an electric folding roof. The Aerocabin came with the same specs as the GT-Limited and were only available with the 7M-GTE engine, 4sp automatic transmission, tan leather interior and pearl paint. In 1988 Soarer Z2 got restyling -grill and rear taillights changed and minor interior changes (climate control, dash). Other than that engines were improved: 1G-GTEU 180 -> 157 kW (213 PS; 211 hp) 7M-GTEU 230 -> 179 kW (243 PS; 240 hp) Also from that time, M-series engines got oil squirters to cool pistons. Unlike the A70, the Z20 did not pick up the 2.5L twin turbo 1JZ-GTE. However all models built from May 1989 did have a revised crossmember making the 1JZ-GTE conversion easier. This does not include the Aerocabin, contrary to popular belief.

In 1991, this vehicle debuted in the U.S. as the Lexus SC 300/400. In the same year, the third generation Toyota Soarer debuted in Japan as the Z30 series, replacing the Z20 series in that market. The Z30 series Soarer shared the body style and key components with the Lexus SC, but featured different interior features, powertrain configurations, and other performance enhancements. This new Soarer continued some of the features that Toyota had pioneered on the earlier models, such as digital dash instrumentation and integrated car systems control via the in-dash EMV touchscreen. For example, it was now one of the first cars in the world to feature factory GPS navigation via cd-rom, continuing the Toyota/Lexus tradition of not only equalling but surpassing the established luxury brands in price, quality and features. It had a luxury feel to it, yet the 2.5GT twin turbo model in particular was truly a very powerful sports car as well. Not surprising though, given its 1JZ-GTE engine was used for the MKIII Supra as well. Although the chassis is more akin the MKIV Supra with suspension, brakes, drivetrain, and engine pieces interchangeable for the most part. [ citation needed ] The Toyota Soarers made from the years 1991-2000 were offered with a 4-speed automatic transmission for all models. In addition, the JZZ30 Soarer could be had with a 5-speed manual transmission. All models were available with a Torsen torque-sensing differential. Unlike their US Lexus equivalents however, the 30-series Soarer lineup never received a 5-speed automatic, and only the six cylinder versions received variable valve timing (VVTi) engines, in 1996. Also, the UZZ30 (equivalent to the Lexus SC400) was only sold from 1991 to 1993, and the JZZ31 (equivalent to the Lexus SC300) was not introduced to the Japanese market until 1994. Styling-wise, the Soarer received only minor changes to the rear lights and front grille during its 9-year production run, a testament to the original design. Starting in 1997, the Soarer was used as a high speed patrol car in multiple Japanese prefectures , using the 2.5GT trim with a 5-speed manual transmission.

As the sportiest model in the range it was also the only one available with a manual transmission. Like other models in the range there were two different equipment grades available, the base GT-T and the better-equipped GT-TL which added electric seats, wood trim, cruise control and Toyota's TEMS electronic damper adjustment to the list of standard features. The JZZ30 was powered by the 2.5 litre 1JZ-GTE turbocharged engine. Initially featuring two identical small turbos running together (unlike the sequential twin turbo systems of the Supra and Mazda RX-7, for example), it officially produced 206 kW (280 PS; 276 hp) and 363 N·m (268 lb·ft) of torque at 4800 rpm. This was in keeping with the Japanese Manufacturers' advertised power limit agreement, however real-world power outputs were somewhat higher. In August 1996 the engine received Toyota's variable valve timing system (VVTi) and in conjunction with a single, more efficient turbocharger, produced much better high and mid-range torque (in fact, 378 N·m (279 lb·ft) at just 2400 rpm - see The Toyota JZ Engine Guide below) while still producing the "official" 206 kW (280 PS; 276 hp) of power and better fuel economy. [ edit ] JZZ31 Soarer While the Lexus SC300 was available from the start of the new series' US introduction in 1991, the equivalent Japan-market Soarer model — the JZZ31 — was not introduced until 1994, where it became the new base model Soarer. The JZZ31 was powered by the 3 litre 2JZ-GE engine which initially produced 165 kW (224 PS; 221 hp) at 5800 rpm and 285 N·m (210 lb·ft) of torque at 4800 rpm. Like the JZZ30 the engine also received Toyota's VVTi system in 1997 which increased output to 169 kW (230 PS; 227 hp) at 6000 rpm and 304 N·m (224 lb·ft) at 4000 rpm while simultaneously improving fuel economy. While the SC300 in the US market became a popular Lexus for performance upgrades due to its shared engine with the MKIV (JZA80) Supra, the JZZ31 Soarer was somewhat overlooked since unlike the SC300 it was never offered in manual gearbox form and had neither the performance appeal of the turbocharged JZZ30 nor the luxury and equipment of the UZZ31/32 models. However with the increasing cost (and slowing sales) of the V8 Soarer GT-L models in the mid-late '90s, the JZZ31 would remain in production along with the JZZ30 until the end of the 30 Series in 2000. [ edit ] UZZ30, UZZ31 and UZZ32 Soarer The UZZ30 was introduced in Japan as the 'base' model of the V8 powered 30 series lineup. Fitted with the same 4.0 litre quad cam V8 as the UZZ31/32, it benefitted in the performance stakes due to its considerably lighter weight. The UZZ30 used a standard Tokiko coilover suspension setup, basic stereo system, manual steering column, and very few electronic aids. Velour fabric seats were standard with leather as an option. No power or memory seats were available. As the car was substantially lighter due to the exclusion of all the 'luxury fruit' they are a terrific car to drive, with good power, handling and braking. The UZZ30 series Soarer was used as the base vehicle for the Lexus SC400 exported into the United States, although to satisfy local markets, a comprehensive listing of luxury options were offered. Local Japanese Soarer's all came with an electronic dashboard which used an internal mirror to display the dashboard holographically. It really is a beautiful design and has stood the test of time, yet this was never offered on a USA spec model. These cars came with a standard dash layout comprising round dials and lit needles similar to the LS400 Lexus. The UZZ31 and UZZ32 Soarers were the luxury GT versions of the range, with substantially more features and equipment than the 6 cylinder models and the Lexus SC300/400. The EMV (Electro Multi Vision) touchscreen system which was pioneered in the Z10 and Z20 Soarers was again available and provided a screen with television, GPS navigation, diagnostics, car computer, reversing camera and touch control of all functions of the climate control and sophisticated 7-speaker (with subwoofer) balanced-signal audio system with 12-disc CD stacker and digital signal processing. Both models and the base-spec UZZ30 were powered by Toyota's acclaimed 1UZ-FE quad-cam all-alloy 4 litre V8. While producing marginally less power and torque than the turbocharged JZZ30 (191 kW (260 PS; 256 hp) at 5400 rpm, 353 N·m (260 lb·ft) at 4600 rpm) the V8, called the 4.0GT-L was renowned for its smoothness and refinement. Although receiving a minor update in 1995 which improved responsiveness and bumped outputs to 195 kW (265 PS; 261 hp) / 363 N·m (268 lb·ft), production of the V8-equipped Soarers ended before the powerplant received VVTi which substantially increased outputs in the Lexus SC400 and other models. However, supercharged and turbocharged modifications are becoming increasingly common given the strength and durability of the engine, and power outputs up to double the factory levels are being seen on internally-standard engines. The UZZ31 featured a driver-adjustable air suspension system that had two settings for both ride height and damper stiffness. The air 'bag' pressure was controlled by an electric pump mounted at the front of the car. Also featured on the UZZ31 series, were a host of electronic goodies including heated automated headlights, memory seats, electronic collapsible steering column with memory, touch screen TV with 12 stack CD player, touch screen SatNav, and a full on board computer diagnostic system which would output to the TV display unit. The UZZ32 was the top of the line 30 series featuring all of the options available on the UZZ31 but with the added feature of four wheel steering and a complex hydraulic computer- controlled active suspension system. This did away with conventional springs and anti-roll (stabiliser) bars in favour of hydraulic struts controlled by sensors that detected cornering, acceleration and braking forces. The system worked well and gave an unusually controlled yet smooth ride with no body roll. The weight penalty of the system affected straight-line performance somewhat so a re-mapped ECU was introduced to allow better 'off line' performance. Due to the amazingly complex suspension system, the car was costly to produce and as a result, only 873 UZZ32's were made and are now collectors items in the UK and Australia. The UZZ32 Soarer became the second shortest production run model for Toyota following the awesome S2000 in the late 60's. To put the rarity in perspective, some later model and very low milage examples of the UZZ32 can be seen for sale between $20,000-$35,000+ AUD where as the majority of the other soarers (Non active V8, I6 and TT models) can be had for $8,000-$15,000.

The Z40 series Soarer 430SCV featured a hardtop which could fold into the boot of the car, in the fashion of the contemporary Mercedes-Benz SL . The coupe was equipped with the 3UZ-FE VVTi (variable valve timing) 4.3 litre V8 motor, as was available in the Lexus LS 430 luxury sedan. It produced 208 kW (283 PS; 279 hp) and 430 N·m (320 lb·ft) of torque. This enabled the coupe to accelerate from a standstill to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 6 seconds. The shared body style of the Z40 series Soarer/SC 430 was developed by Toyota designers at design studios in France and Japan. Compared with the Z30 series, some observers generally considered the fourth generation a retreat in visual style due to its more compact and top heavy appearance. As a result it had lost the long sleek look previously seen and admired greatly in the Z30 series models. With the Z40 series Soarer, design and production synergies culminated in the development of a single shared design configuration for both the Soarer and Lexus models, unlike the previous generations. The rise of Lexus as Toyota's premium worldwide marque also contributed to the design focus on the Lexus model configuration rather than a separate Toyota-branded series of Soarer coupes. On July 26, 2005, Lexus was introduced in Japan with the 2006 SC 430 TSOOH in its lineup. The debut of Lexus and the SC 430 coincided with the conclusion of Toyota Soarer sales.
