OPEN EYES,
TURN HEADS
While the captivating styling of the coupe
will draw you in, there’s another side that’s
equally compelling. Of fering multiple levels of
performance, from the first-ever turbocharged
RC 200t 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 2016 RC line is an ounce of restraint.

For those craving a double shot of adrenaline with their double-take-worthy styling,
the RC 350 F SPORT is now available with lateral performance dampers for added
rigidity, and a limited-slip dif ferential which instantly distributes power to the rear
wheel with the most grip to help enhance traction and control during cornering.

FROM THE GROUND UP
DESIGNED
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 new 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 first-ever
RC 200t 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.

STATE OF THE ART
While the exterior of the RC screams exhilarating
performance, the cutting-edge design of the
interior makes an audacious statement of its
own. The attention to detail given to the deeply
bolstered front sport seats found in the cockpit
of the RC can only be described as obsessive.
From the meticulous stitching and available
perforated leather trim, to the available heated
and ventilated front seats, the RC was designed to
give you a ride that is as luxurious as it is thrilling.
