OPEN EYES,
TURN HEADS
While the captivating styling of the coupe will draw
you in, there’s another side that ’s equally compelling.
Offering multiple levels of performance, from
the RC Turbo and the all-wheel drive RC 300 to the
exhilarating RC 350 and F SPORT versions of
all three, the only thing you won’ t find in the 2017 RC
line is an ounce of restraint.

For those craving a double shot of adrenaline with their double-take-wor thy styling, the RC 350 F SPORT (RWD)
features a lateral performance damper for added rigidity, and an exclusive, available limited-slip differential which instantly
distributes power to the rear wheel with the most grip to help enhance traction and control during cornering.

FROM THE GROUND UP
How do you engineer a vehicle that delivers radical
performance matched only by its radical design?
Start from the ground up. Even if it means rethinking
the entire production process. Which, in order to
realize the RC designers’ bold vision of dynamic
contours that flow seamlessly from one shape to the
next, is exactly what Lexus did.
Even the design of the turbocharged engine wasn’t
left to chance. Unlike some automakers, Lexus
didn’t outsource the development of its turbocharger.
Painstakingly researched and engineered by Lexus
until it met rigorous standards for performance, the
RC Turbo offers breathtaking proof that good
things come to those who wait.

THE
SENSES
Whether it’s the striking beauty of the intensely sculptured
lines found on the outside of the RC or the profound
strength delivered by its gigantic side sills and A-frame
underbody brace, you’ll discover the unconventional
design of the RC can elicit a response as visceral as the
one evoked by its radical performance.
