  • Updated: February 2021 the LEXUS RC F
    Updated: February 2021 THE LEXUS RC F INTRODUCTION “There’s a perception that many high-performance cars are hard to drive. In fact, they’re easy in the right hands because they’ve been purpose-built for the skill level of their drivers. It’s the same with the RC F, which I have built to be enjoyed by all enthusiasts, no matter what their level of expertise. Electronics can be modified instantly on board to provide performance and protection appropriate to each driver’s abilities. But even in its basic settings, it’s a blast.” Yukihiko Yaguchi, Lexus RC F Chief Engineer The RC F is one of the most powerful, versatile and responsive cars Lexus has created. It is designed to be enjoyed by all driving enthusiasts, no matter what their level of expertise. At its heart is a 5.0-litre V8 engine, producing 457bhp and 520Nm of torque. The RC F’s striking design is derived from the show-stopping LF-LC and LF-CC concepts Lexus revealed in 2013. The coupe follows the IS F as Lexus’s second generation V8 F model and benefits from the best in tuning and technology from the LFA V10 supercar. The F designation stands for Fuji Speedway, the international race circuit where Lexus carries out much of its high-speed development work. F models are the sporting pinnacle of the brand, bringing together intoxicating performance and pure driving pleasure and adding depth to the entire model range. In everyday road driving the coupe delivers superb performance and high-speed stability, together with superior levels of comfort, equipment and safety technology.

  • The Lexus Range Experience Amazing
    THE LEXUS RANGE EXPERIENCE AMAZING Since the launch of the LS 400 sedan in 1989, Lexus has become a synonym for exceptional quality and incredibly refined luxury cars. Determined to offer more than this, recently we’ve launched a new generation of vehicles: cars that stand out from the crowd and defy convention. Models like the exciting new UX compact crossover and the provocative yet elegant ES executive sedan. Based on a uniquely Japanese aesthetic of harmony without compromise, Lexus design is now more distinctive and single-minded than ever. However, head turning looks would be nothing without incredible performance. Inspired by the iconic Lexus LFA supercar that was launched in 2010, our ‘Master Drivers’, have worked tirelessly to identify and articulate the unique flavour of driving excitement. With this hard won knowledge we’ve now enhanced the precise and elegant nature of every Lexus with a sizeable dose of adrenaline: creating an exhilarating new driving experience that starts when you approach a car like the LC luxury coupé, and continues as long as you drive and cherish it. Unsurprisingly, technology plays a huge role in our work. We see innovation as a never-ending process, and are committed to anticipating future needs and desires. This approach has led to major automotive breakthroughs like the world’s first Self-Charging Hybrid in 2004 – the RX 400h – and now Multi Stage Hybrid that powers the LS 500h and LC 500h. Despite our intense focus on the future, we’re immensely proud of the world-class build quality of our cars, which is overseen by our ‘Takumi’ artisans.

Wednesday, August 5, 2015 Jeff Bracken, Group Vice President and General Manager, Lexus Division Introduction: Jay Barron, President and CEO, Center for Automotive Research Good morning everybody, and thank you Jay and Sean for this invitation. You know, I suspect all of us carry memories of very special places we’ve lived or visited. For me, it’s Michigan, and specifically Petoskey, Michigan. Growing up, it was our family’s summer retreat destination and, coincidentally, about 65.8 miles from this stage… not that I checked or anything. And if you love this industry, any visit to the hub of the automotive universe… Michigan… is always a guaranteed adrenaline rush. And today, being in Michigan takes on even MORE meaning for me. Thirty-seven years ago, my father, Hal Bracken, who was Toyota’s Vice President of Sales at the time, also spoke here in Traverse City at the Management Briefing Seminars. I actually remember the title of his presentation: “The Vanishing Import.” The central theme of his speech all those years ago was: The day would soon come when consumers would place significantly less emphasis on the time-worn labels of “foreign” vs. “domestic” autos, and instead demand… of all OEMs… the highest quality vehicles with exceptional brand value. And they’d want to do business with dealers who provide premier customer care. In 1978, that seemed farfetched to some, but my father… and a few others who believed the same… pretty much hit the nail on the head.
