Lexus RC Brochure RC F ENGINEERED FOR ACCELERATION “F” is the culmination of Lexus’ passion and knowledge cultivated from years of manufacturing race-bred vehicles. “F” is our promise of unparalleled performance. It transcends the pretence of power by integrating a deep physical and emotional response that is tried and tested at the Fuji Speedway which is the Lexus F vehicle development centre. The Lexus Fuji Speedway has a heritage of producing track-born masterpieces. Introducing the Lexus RC F and the RC F Track Edition, two coupés that epitomise high- speed performance. The RC F models are engineered to provoke a potent physical response within drivers who insist on high-performance and unreserved refinement. Designed to liken supercars, these models aren’t just sporty, they push speed and style to new extremes. Featuring the most powerful V8 engine ever developed by Lexus, the RC F and RC F Track Edition are meticulously crafted for pure exhilaration. RANGE A RANGE OF HIGH-SPEED POSSIBILITIES RC F The RC F pushes performance to new extremes. With stiffened suspension, increased stability and improved aerodynamics, it captures the spirit of a true racing coupé. Featuring motorsport instruments and bold styling, the Lexus RC F is a track-inspired masterpiece designed to keep hearts racing and heads turning. RC F TRACK EDITION From 0 to 100km/h in 4.3 seconds, the limited production RC F Track Edition is the most track-ready RC F ever.

PERFORMANCE A PIONEER IN PERFORMANCE The high-performance RC F line is built to transcend the standard. The result is 351kW of power at 7 100 rpm and 530Nm of torque at 4 800—5 600 rpm — incredible speed achieved by minimising the car’s weight while maximising its aerodynamics. The RC F silhouette is sharper and more refined due to its dropped suspension which improves the steering feel of the vehicle. Featuring a lightweight Automatic 8-speed transmission which increases fuel efficiency and economy, these aggressive cars offer a dynamic driving experience unlike any other. The 5.0-litre V8 engine is an unprecedented feat of precision engineering exhibiting 472 horsepower and a maximum speed of 270km/h. Every detail of the RC F line is masterfully crafted to enhance performance.

EXTERIOR BUILT FOR THE BRAVE The RC F and the RC F Track Edition have a low, muscular stance and aggressive race-lines revealing their track- inspired DNA. They both have a three-dimensional spindle grille which is an unapologetic expression of power with a lower centre of gravity, amplifying the aerodynamics of the vehicle and making it impossible to ignore. Fitted with carbon fibre* moulding technology developed for the Lexus LFA supercar, the RC F is lighter and more ferocious than ever before. Model Shown RC F. *Available on RC F Track Edition only.

SAFETY PRIME PERFORMANCE OPTIMUM SAFETY The RC F and RC F Track Edition are models that place safety and high-performance side- by-side: two seemingly opposing ideas that Lexus integrates to create seamless synergy which is the core of our “Yet” philosophy. We didn’t just engineer a car that travels 270km/h, we created an intelligent machine that intuitively protects the driver while breaking the boundaries of performance. Model Shown RC F. South African vehicle specifications may differ. EXTERIOR A LEXUS SAFETY SYSTEM+ Lexus Safety System+ is an integrated suite of active safety equipment which acts as a shield against accidents. From intuitive high beams with amplified illumination for increased focus to advanced lane assistance technology, our safety system brings Lexus drivers closer to an accident-free existence. B VEHICLE DYNAMICS INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT (VDIM) VDIM prevents skids by predicting them before they occur through a combination of individual-wheel braking, torque modulation and steering torque assistance. A D C PRE-CRASH SYSTEM The pre-crash system detects imminent obstacles which reduces the likelihood and severity of collisions. Pedestrian Detection automatically reacts before you can by utilising Lexus Brake Assist. The emergency brake signal acts to prevent rear-end collisions. D BLIND SPOT MONITOR WITH REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT Rear Cross Traffic Alert is a feature that combines with Lexus radar apparatus to detect the presence of vehicles in adjacent lanes that are not visible in the side B E mirrors. A warning alert is emitted if another vehicle enters the driver’s blind spot. E ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL Through the use of a camera and a millimetre wave radar sensor, the system works to maintain an appropriate distance between your Lexus and the car in front of you, halting when needed and moving forward when it is safe to do so. F LANE DEPARTURE ALERT Lane Departure Alert with Lane Keep Assist and Steering Control utilises a camera to monitor your position within your lane, warning you if you drift beyond the lane’s C F limits. Additionally, Automatic High Beam switches to low beam when the lights of another vehicle are detected. Images shown for illustrative purposes. IMAGINATIVE TECHNOLOGY TRACK-READY TECHNOLOGY Lexus gives a new meaning to connectivity by integrating technology that adds to the driver’s in-vehicle convenience. From the steering-wheel-mounted controls that place ultimate power at your fingertips to the innovative cockpit features, the RC F and RC F Track Edition are fast-paced, forward-thinking A vehicles that will keep you ahead of the curve. A MULTI-INFORMATION DISPLAY The track-inspired full-colour LCD multi-information display within the gauge cluster ensures optimum performance through increased readability. Drivers can quickly determine Variable Drive Modes, gear position and odometer information at a glance. Additional multimedia integration enables an easy view of incoming calls and more. B LAUNCH CONTROL B This track-ready technology allows Lexus drivers to hold the optimal rpm for lightning-fast acceleration. Throttle control helps eliminate wheel-spins and maximises grip, propelling the vehicle off the line almost instantaneously. C MARK LEVINSON® SURROUND SOUND AUDIO SYSTEM An innovative system that consists of 17 speakers with 3D audio technology that envelops each passenger in the highest sound quality, which restores compressed audio and offers clear and dynamic sound from every source.

  • 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.

  • Company Background
    COMPANY BACKGROUND This document provides an overview of the Lexus brand in the UK and its global history. For more detailed current information please visit the relevant sections of the Lexus media web site, media.lexus.co.uk. Updated: July 2021. LEXUS IN THE UK Lexus made its debut in Britain in 1990, following the marque’s international launch in North America the previous year. In terms of scale, its beginnings were modest: just one model was offered for sale, the LS 400 limousine. Its impact, however, was exceptional, changing people’s perception of what a luxury car should be. The LS 400 was the first Lexus model to be sold in the UK. Furthermore, the excellence of the LS 400 was supported by a customer care and service programme that set new standards for the industry. Lexus has since established itself as a leading international prestige brand, reaching beyond the automotive sphere to design, lifestyle products and amazing experiences. The model range has developed steadily to offer vehicles that meet a broad range of modern driving tastes and styles, but this growth has not detracted from the principles of quality, performance and craftsmanship that are fundamental to Lexus. Lexus does not just compete with its rivals on established terms, it is a successful and industry- leading pioneer of new technology for performance, efficiency, safety and comfort, delivering cars that are technically advanced, less polluting and more fuel efficient, without compromising quality, comfort and driving character. Self-charging hybrid power has been central to Lexus’s development of cars that use less fuel, have lower exhaust emissions and are both refined and engaging to drive.
