Looks like it is raining ugly cars in bombay. Also, recently, there was one standing at Almeida Park in BAndra for a while too.

Spotted this baby at reclamation this afternoon. It had a team motor works decal on the license plate. Looked pretty hot in black.

Just saw an SC430 today. Had a Team Motor Works sticker on the plate. Problem is, I can't remember either of the two; colour (white I think) and reg.no(MH 02 I think) !! Parked on the road, covered, outside Prithvi Cafe.

Was taking a walk back home from a nearby store and saw this car parked at the adjacent building entrance. It belongs to a dealer for imported cars i believe. Here are some pictures of Toyota Soarer(as the name reads) never seen this car or heard of it before; Feast on fellow bhp-ians!

Nice pictures Ali. I hope you have heard of Lexus SC430

, The Soarer is the same. Parent company is Toyota and the highend brand is Lexus.

Thanks speedy; yes i did hunt for some information and found out that this is a 4.3 L 3UZ-FE V8 engine with variable valve timing (VVTi) mated to a five-speed automatic transmission. This engine was the same model as that found in the UCF30 Lexus LS. The SC 430's V8 could produce 288 hp (214.76 kW) and 430 N·m (317 lb·ft) of torque, allowing the coupe to go from 0-60 in around 6 seconds.

Luxury features include Espresso Walnut or Bird's Eye Maple wood trim, Mark Levinson premium sound system, DVD-based navigation system, and headlamp washers.
The car features a retractable aluminium hardtop making it a convertible, all-leather interior, and 18 inch aluminium wheels.
In 2005 it was awarded as the highest ranked premium luxury vehicle.
