The Toyota Soarer, also known as the Lexus SC, is a grand touring coupe produced by Toyota from 1981 to 2005. The car's third generation, internally named the Z30, was introduced in 1990. It was designed by Erwin Lui and Denis Campbell of Calty Design Research, Toyota's design studio in California; it retained features from earlier models such as digital dashboard instrumentation and integrated car systems control via an onboard touchscreen. Engine choices of this generation ranged from the 2.5L 1JZ-GTE inline-6, 3.0L 2JZ-GE inline-6 and 4.0L 1UZ-FE V8. Production of the Z30 ended in 2000.
The initial release is intended to depict a custom 1992 Toyota Soarer as featured in The Fast & the Furious: Tokyo Drift; the car was built and owned by Emerald "DriftGirl" Ignacio, who also acted as a stunt driver for the film.
