MEET THE RC

This four-seater sports coupe delivers exhilarating hybrid performance with bold, head-turning design. Behind its muscular and aggressive stance, the RC's rigid chassis offers exceptional handling and agility. Accelerate to 62mph in just 8.6 seconds with power, precision and economy delivered through a 2.5 litre self-charging hybrid engine with automatic (e-cvt) transmission.

New-found elegance

A new front bumper corner flows smoothly down from the headlamps and a grille mesh pattern gradually transforms from top to bottom. Vertically arranged extra-small triple LED headlamps and new L-shaped LED clearance lamps add to the car’s sharper more distinguished appearance.

Inside the cabin, everything from the high-quality materials to the precise layout of controls and gauges was crafted with Lexus Takumi craftsmanship to maximize driving pleasure.

Perfectly positioned for a relaxing drive, the RC’s multimedia display can be operated by voice command or Touch Pad. A 17-speaker Mark Levinson® Premium SurroundSystem has been developed for a 360 degree sonic space. Radar devices mounted in the rear bumper detect vehicles in adjacent lanes.

From a low sports driving position, you’ll really feel the road surface beneath you and sense how the car responds to the slightest steering input.

INTERIOR

60:40 FLEXIBILITY

A practical 60:40 split folding rear seat comes standard on the RC. Offering the convenience of an estate car, but with the grace and refinement of a sports coupé, when the rear seats are folded down there’s room to carry bulkier objects.

18/19 INCH ALLOY WHEELS

Have a choice between the 18- or 19-inch alloy wheels. The classic 5-twin-spoke design on the 18 inch wheels creates a distinctive profile, while 235/45 R18 tyres deliver a sporty drive. The intricate 5-twin-spoke 19-inch wheel design gives a dynamic look, with 235/40 (front) and 265/35 (rear) R19 tyres for enhanced driving performance.

Jewel-like, triple ‘L’ LED headlights use the same light source for high and low beam, with the RC’s impressive aura enhanced by L-shaped thick-wall full LED daytime running lights.

Featuring forged aluminium components, the double wishbone front suspension is lightweight and responsive. Innovative suspension geometry delivers excellent handling stability and ride comfort.

EXTERIOR

REAR SUSPENSION

Straight-line and cornering stability are supplied by a multi-link rear suspension setup. A combination of high-tensile steel and die-cast/forged aluminium components keep weight low but ensure vibration-free precision.

RIGID CHASSIS

The foundation of the RC's agility and excellent road holding is its highly rigid body, which features large cross-section rocker panels, a strong front lower brace and other strategic reinforcements. Numerous specialised Lexus manufacturing techniques enhance rigidity, including bodywork adhesives, laser-screw welding and extra spot welding.

EXTERIOR

LED REAR LIGHTS

The rear light cluster combines elegant LEDs arranged in Lexus signature ‘L’ form. Thick-wall moulding technology gives a crystal appearance, and a strikingly bold presence even when not illuminated.
