Lexus has had an ongoing relationship with the Pebble Beach Company since 2003, and has produced the Pebble Beach special edition SC 430 hardtop convertible every year since to commemorate that relationship. But for 2008, Lexus has decided to extend the Pebble Beach treatment beyond the just the SC and will now offer the Pebble Beach Edition RX 350 and ES 350.
Only 6,000 examples of each model will be produced and each model will come with its own unique range of Pebble Beach features.
RX 350 Pebble Beach Edition
The RX 350 Pebble Beach Edition can be had in the three colors: Classic Silver Metallic, Obsidian Black and Truffle Mica — the latter being unique to the Pebble Beach package. The RX’s exterior will sport unique 18 inch wheels, a color-keyed rear-spoiler and a chrome grille, as well as special Pebble Beach badging.
The RX’s interior will feature special floormats that will have the Pebble Beach Company’s signature The Lone Cypress logo embroidered into them.
The RX 350 Pebble Beach Edition will be available in both front and all-wheel drive and marks the first special edition Lexus to be built in North America.
The Pebble Beach Edition RX 350 will fetch a $3,880 premium over the standard RX.
ES 350 Pebble Beach Edition
The ES 350 Pebble Beach Edition will be available in Tungsten Pearl Silver and Obsidian Black, as well as the Pebble Beach-specific Truffle Mica. The ES will wear unique 17 inch wheels covered in a liquid graphite finish.
The ES’s interior will feature the same floor mats as the RX, but will also sport a leather and wood trimmed steering wheel.
The Pebble Beach package will add $4,170 to the cost of the ES.
Those who opt for the Pebble Beach package — on either vehicle — will also be enrolled in the Lexus Personalization Program.
