With distinctive style and the same structural rigidity as standard steel components, the carbon fiber roof and speed-activated rear wing help increase vehicle stability at higher speeds for more responsive handling. RC F shown in Ultra White6 10 11 PERFORMANCE HEART-RACING PERFORMANCE From the RC and RC F SPORT models to the high-performance RC F and RC F Fuji Speedway Edition, every dose of adrenaline is more powerful than the last. From the turbocharged RC 300 to the dynamic RC 300 FSPORT models, the RC puts peak responsiveness at your fingertips. The V6-powered RC 300 AWD and RC 350 deliver 260 and 311 horsepower,1 respectively. A highly rigid platform, double wishbone–type front suspension and multilink rear suspension provide crisp turn-in and poise through curves. And for those craving more exhilaration, the RC F and RC F Fuji Speedway Edition feature a potent 472-horsepower1 5.0-liter V8 that’s the largest engine in its class.8 RC F Fuji Speedway Edition shown in Arctic Blast Satin6 12 13 PERFORMANCE THE RC & RC F SPORT VISCERAL POWER RC 300 The RC 300 pairs an eight-speed Sport Direct-Shift automatic transmission with a 241-horsepower1 twin-scroll turbocharged in-line four-cylinder engine. This highly responsive RC 300 is also easy on fuel consumption, with a 31-MPG highway EPA estimate.14 Meanwhile, the rear-wheel drive RC 300 F SPORT features a specially tuned Adaptive Variable Suspension and an available Torsen®4 limited-slip rear differential that maximizes your ability to power out of corners. RC 300 AWD The RC 300 AWD pairs a six-speed automatic transmission with a 260- horsepower1 3.5-liter V6. Featuring Variable Valve Timing with intelligence, the engine is designed to provide added torque at lower speeds and greater horsepower at higher speeds. RC 350 / RC 350 AWD Boasting direct and port fuel injection and an awe-inspiring sound reminiscent of the LFA supercar, the 3.5-liter V6 delivers 311 horsepower.1 The all-wheel drive RC 350 features a six-speed automatic transmission, while the rear-wheel drive model is equipped with an eight-speed Sport Direct-Shift transmission. And in the rear-wheel drive F SPORT, you’ll find a specially tuned Adaptive Variable Suspension and an available Torsen®4 limited-slip rear differential. It also offers class-exclusive Dynamic Rear Steering,15 which adjusts the angle of the rear wheels by up to two degrees to help provide optimal agility and stability. ALL-WHEEL DRIVE Make the most of every commute with the enhanced control delivered by the all-wheel drive system on equipped models. By monitoring current conditions, the rear-biased system automatically distributes engine power from 30/70 to up to 50/50 between the front and rear axles to help provide optimum traction—even in inclement weather or on less-than-ideal road surfaces. Torque split up to RC shown in Atomic Silver 50/50 14 15 PERFORMANCE RC F & RC F FUJI SPEEDWAY EDITION UNPARALLELED PERFORMANCE Touting the largest engine and the only naturally aspirated V8 in its class,8 the RC F delivers performance as breathtaking as its design. An unprecedented feat of precision engineering, the RC F delivers powerful torque, agile handling and an impressive differential gear ratio for lightning- fast acceleration. It also features a track-ready technology called Launch Control11 that allows the driver to hold the optimal rpm for launch. The throttle control within this sophisticated system helps eliminate wheelspin and maximize grip, propelling the vehicle virtually instantaneously. And making its V8 even more stirring, the RC F emits throaty, specially tuned intake and exhaust notes as it screams to its blistering 7,300-rpm redline. Infused with the DNA of the RC F GT3 racecar (right),16 the 2021 RC F Experience the result of the Fuji Speedway Edition’s massive weight brings you even closer to the track with the RC F Fuji Speedway savings: a best-in-class power-to-weight ratio8 with added Edition. Named after the world-renowned “Temple of Speed” in the responsiveness and enhanced torque that combine to propel it foothills of Mount Fuji—the birthplace of Lexus high-performance—this from 0 to 60 in a mere 3.96 seconds.7 3.96 unique edition embodies decades of development on this iconic track. 0–60 MPH (SEC) Individually numbered between 1 and 60, it comes equipped with RC F FUJI SPEEDWAY EDITION lightweight components, like a carbon fiber rear wing, front spoiler, roof and hood, as well as titanium mufflers. And it boasts an even lower center of gravity that further reduces rotational inertia. RC F shown in Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.06 16 17 PERFORMANCE RC F & RC F FUJI SPEEDWAY EDITION LIGHTWEIGHT MATERIALS. GROUNDBREAKING AGILITY. Every aspect scrutinized to push performance to its limits. The greatest measure of a vehicle’s response is the one it invokes in the driver. And it’s precisely why every element of the high-performance RC F is painstakingly scrutinized to minimize weight while maximizing TRACK-TUNED SUSPENSION aerodynamics—and excitement. From hollow half shafts down to the Lightweight aluminum front suspension smallest components, like a compact air conditioning compressor, components and a highly rigid chassis every gram was purposefully shaved for optimal performance. Lexus deliver responsive handling on every RC F. engineers worked with the RC F GT3 racing team to create a unique aerodynamics strategy that increases downforce for better grip and control through every turn. Even the airflow inside the wheel wells was carefully calculated. Air exits through the fenders, allowing the suspension to perform without disruptive air pressure, simultaneously enhancing handling and stability. And taking traction to the next level, each tread line on the RC F’s Michelin® Pilot® Sport 4 S tires17 features a specially developed compound to maximize grip. SPEED-ACTIVATED REAR WING The rear wing automatically activates at highway speeds for improved aerodynamics.
