The Lexus SC 430 is aluxurious roadster that converts to a hardtop coupe with a the press of a button. It's smooth and quiet, powerful and enjoyable to drive. Its interior is beautiful, comfortable, and luxuries. It's a terrific two-seats car for a long drive for all practical purposes,

The Lexus SC 430 is enjoyable to drive. Its rear-wheel-drive is the proper layout for a performance car; it is not intended to be driven like a race car. It is, after all, a Lexus, designed to excel in the areas of comfort and refinement.

The SC 430 is quick, but not lightning quick. It's capable of accelerating from 0-60 mph in 5.9 seconds, according to Lexus. The double overhead-cam 4.3-liter all-aluminum V8 produces 300 horsepower at 5600 rpm and 325 pounds-feet of torque at 3400 rpm. The SC 430 offers acceleration performance comparable to that of the Mercedes SL 500 and Jaguar XK8. Top speed of the SC 430 is about 156 mph more than fast enough. When driving around town the Lexus is smooth, quiet and sophisticated. It's a very flexible engine, with strong torque at low rpm, so it's always ready to show its power when you are pressing the accelerator and it’s never struggling to deliver smooth power.

The five-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly. It features three shift modes (Normal, Sport, Winter). Mounted on the floor console, the shifter has a C-shaped gate, allowing semi-manual shifting. The Lexus transmission is designed to be smooth, not quick, however, so it does not respond as quickly as a Mercedes or Porsche transmission, even in Sport mode.

The SC 430 features the latest in active safety system that will do everything physically possible to keep the car headed in the direction the driver is steering: anti-lock brakes (ABS), electronic brake-force distribution (EBD), traction control. Vehicle Skid Control (VSC) and Brake Assist. This is great technology to have as it can help you to avoid an accident. While it's good to have at least a proper understanding of what these systems do, it's less important to understand how they work. The important thing to know is that when faced with having to suddenly take a maneuver, you should press down firmly on the brakes, remember to look and steer in the direction you want to go, all the while maintaining hard pressure on the brake pedal.

ABS prevents the brakes from locking up so that the driver maintains steering control. Electronic brake-force distributions (EBD) maintains the proper balance of breaking force to all four tires. Brake Assist (BA) help maintain hard pressure on the brake pedal when the system detects the driver is making the mistake of relaxing pressure on the brake pedal. Vehicle Skid Control (VSC) reduces skidding in a corner by correcting for oversteer or understeer. Traction control reduces rear wheel spin when accelerating on slippery surfaces. If that doesn't save you the SC 430 has excellent seat belts with pretensioners so be sure and use them. It has side-impact airbags in addition to the dual frontal airbags. The 18-inch alloy wheels are fitted with P245/40z R18 Dunlop summer tires. The Lexus SC 430 is very smooth and very pleasant and costs much less than other cars in this class.

Упр. 13. Выполните письменный перевод следующего текста.

Controlling the exhaust gas behavior in low consumption lean mode is a great challenge for direct fuel injection. The resulting nitrogen oxide emissions are lower as they leave the engine than with conventional gasoline engines and are lowered further through high exhaust gas recirculation rates: however, they cannot be reduced by the familiar three-way catalytic converter. The new NOx storage catalytic converter required for compliance with the strict exhaust emission laws must be regenerated every minute. To do this, the mode is briefly switched from 'lean stratified' to 'normal homogeneous'. The most difficult task here relates to the engine management system which has to switch back and forth between the two modes instantaneously and unnoticed by the driver. The Motronic MED 7 engine management system - the first series concept of this type -specially developed by Bosch for direct injection gasoline engines is intended for these management tasks. Its task is to control the fuel quantity, throttle valve and ignition angle in such a way that the engine torque remains constant during the switchover. In conjunction with the electronic EGAS throttle valve controller, the MED 7 system represents the decisive basis for the introduction of BDE into series-type production.
