Hand-built V8 Power
Hand built and tuned by stethoscope in our Tahara plant, this incredible 5.0-litre V8 engine develops 463 DIN hp and more than 520 Nm of torque. The cylinder head and all moving parts are designed to provide increased maximum power at higher engine revs.
-
Sports VDIM
Sports Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) ensures that the enormous power of the RC F can be enjoyed smoothly and safely, even when cornering at high speed.
-
Carbon-Model
Benefiting from carbon fibre moulding technology developed for our Lexus LFA supercar and IS F CCS-R racecar, the RC F model is 9.5 kilos lighter than the standard car.
-
8 Speed Sport Direct Shift
The V8 engine delivers power via an 8 Speed Sport Direct Shift (SDS) sequential transmission with manual override. The transmission’s shift control has been enhanced to respond precisely to even the slightest dip or lift of the accelerator pedal.
-
19" Forged Alloy Wheels
The RC F’s alloy wheels are forged (rather than cast) in a process that emulates the blows of a blacksmith’s hammer to combine strength, through an improved metallic structure, with lightness.
-
Leather Sports Seats
High-back seats feature Lexus’ integrated foaming technique, which achieves a cosseting, highly supportive fit. Seat cushion shape and firmness have been optimised to reduce pressure on the sensitive ischial region. Available on selected grades.
EXPERIENCE THE RC F
Beneath the domed bonnet lies the most potent V8 engine we’ve ever developed. Its sole purpose is to deliver awesome power. Experience the irresistible and addictive sound of the throttle ‘blipping’ between gears, while the Torque Vectoring Differential ensures control at high-speed. The RC F captures the spirit of a true racing coupé.
F MARQUE
EXCLUSIVE NEW RC F SPECIAL EDITION
The RC F Special Edition celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Lexus F marque. A rare and exclusive version of the performance coupé, it made its European debut at the Geneva Motor Show.
The car’s powerful lines and sculpted surfaces have been given extra impact with a matte paint finish in Nebula grey. The matte theme is also picked up in exterior elements such as the door handles, mirror housings, side skirts and shark fin antenna. This strikes a strong contrast with the highly polished black finish of the 19-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels.
Large brake callipers are visible through the wheel spokes, painted blue and bearing the evocative F logo. The same blue shade is used to edge the discreet F badging on the car’s front wings. The Special Edition further benefits from front performance dampers.
