RC

A TRUE SPORTS COUPÉ

Captivating coupé performance and design meets legendary Lexus refinement in this alluring sports coupé.

MEET THE RC

A sports coupé that delivers exhilarating performance with bold, head-turning design. Behind its muscular and aggressive stance, the RC's short-wheel base and rigid chassis offer both exceptional handling and agility. This distinctive four-seater coupé is available with a high performance hybrid engine, that you can configure exactly the RC you wish.

Sports driving position

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.
Flexible space

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

Approach the RC with the key in your pocket and both door handles gently illuminate to greet you, unlocking when touched. Beautifully sculpted, they have no keyhole, a world-first for this kind of door handle.
Leather steering wheel

A beautifully crafted leather steering wheel features finger rests and a cross section optimised to fit comfortably in your hands.
Performance and safety

Fitted with Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management and powerful ventilated disc brakes, the new RC is engineered to help you avoid danger.
Drive mode select

Choose a mode to suit the moment - from optimum efficiency to maximum exhilaration. ECO mode reduces emissions and conserves fuel while, for everyday driving, NORMAL provides an ideal balance of power, economy and ride comfort. For enhanced drivetrain responsiveness, simply switch to SPORT or SPORT+ mode.

LEATHER STEERING WHEEL

INTERIOR

MARK LEVINSON® PREMIUM SURROUND

The RC’s 17-speaker, 835 watt Mark Levinson® Premium Surround system is tailored to the acoustic properties of the cabin. It delivers a 7.1-channel audio immersive experience, enhanced by Clari-Fi™ that rebuilds sound lost in MP3 digital compression.

INTERIOR

TAKUMI CRAFTSMANSHIP

The new RC is built at our award-winning Tahara plant by Lexus ‘Takumi’ craftspeople. With at least 25 years of experience, they can detect the tiniest of imperfections. You’ll appreciate their precious skills every time you touch the precision-machined aluminium audio controls or beautifully stitched leatherwork.

INTERIOR

SPORTS DRIVING POSITION

From a low sports driving position, you get a real sense of the road beneath and feel how the car responds to the slightest steering input. The driving dynamics of the RC are specifically designed to offer a more sporting and immersive driving experience.

EXTERIOR

FLAWLESS PAINTWORK

The RC's paintwork is built up in a meticulous five-coat, four-bake process and then wet sanded by hand between each coat to ensure the perfect balance between brightness and depth.

EXTERIOR

PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM

Millimetre-wave radar and an onboard computer calculate collision risk ahead. If the risk is high, the driver is alerted by audible and visual warnings and brake pressure is increased. When a collision is deemed unavoidable, the brakes will be applied automatically as necessary and the front seatbelts tightened.

DYNAMIC RADAR CRUISE CONTROL

To help reduce driver fatigue, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) maintains a set distance between the RC and the vehicle ahead, even if that vehicle varies its speed or comes to a complete stop. Once the road is clear, DRCC automatically returns to the originally specified cruising speed.

EXTERIOR

ADVANCED AERODYNAMICS

Thanks to a near-flat underbody and tiny winglets on the front door pillars, the aerodynamics of the RC are tuned for precise steering and a more engaging drive. First seen on F1 racing cars, the winglets create air vortices that help pull the airstreams inwards, improving the way the RC cuts through the air.

EXTERIOR

MULTI-LINK SUSPENSION

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

EXTERIOR

SMART ENTRY

Approach the RC with the key in your pocket and both beautifully sculpted door handles gently illuminate to greet you, and automatically unlocks with the lightest of touches.
