Elevating the standards for a luxury coupe, the new Lexus RC and RC F justify their price through exceptional performance, style, an array of features, and cutting-edge technology.

Performance
Small and speedy, the new Lexus RC is just what a driving enthusiast wants in a luxury car. This sports coupe starts out with rear-wheel drive and a 241-horsepower turbo engine. The turbocharged four cranks out 258 lb ft of torque.
The 3.5-liter V6 is paired with all-wheel drive in the new Lexus RC 300 AWD. Output is 260 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque.
At the pinnacle of the RC lineup, the new RC F utilizes a V8 engine to produce 472 horsepower. The RC F driver commands 395 lb-ft of torque. This luxury car has the kind of power that some pickup truck drivers only dream of. You can start your journey with our online Express system.
Utility
Let’s face it. The new Lexus RC lineup isn’t focused on utility. It’s all about fun, and that fun comes down to its incredible handling. What makes that happen?
The exceptional handling is the result of its meticulously engineered design. Lexus engineers employed a range of techniques to achieve the best power-to-weight ratio in its class, resulting in a well-balanced performance coupe. This 55/45 distribution contributes to the RC's impressive handling characteristics.
Stepping up to the new Lexus RC F, the 5-liter V8 engine features a 90-degree V layout. This engineering trick effectively manages rotating and reciprocating forces. The car doesn’t gain weight thanks to the use of aluminum for the block and cylinder heads. Meanwhile, the new luxury coupe's ability to handle road imperfections smoothly is greatly enhanced by the adaptive variable suspension and ZF SACHs shock absorbers.
In terms of steering precision, the electric power steering system utilizes speed-sensing technology to provide accurate responses to driver inputs. This combination of engineering and technology results in an exhilarating driving experience with superb handling and control.
Interior
Does the new Lexus RC cabin live up to the racy exterior? Absolutely.
The two-door luxury coupe has stylish upholstery in faux or perforated leather. This covers power-heated seats, but it can include power ventilation, for our Phoenix AZ summers.
Sculpted, body-hugging seats offer a blend of comfort and support, ensuring that you feel securely nestled while embracing the sporty character of the car. They've been meticulously bolstered to enhance the sense of excitement without compromising on comfort.
Quality craftsmanship is evident in the choice of premium materials, from the rich leather surfaces to the elegant trim accents. This carefully curated combination creates a warm and inviting ambiance.
Naturally the driver’s cockpit is a major focal point, and it offers everything you could expect from a luxury sports car. A touch screen keeps you informed, a push button gets you started, and paddle shifters let you take over the gear shifting whenever the mood strikes you. Dual-zone climate controls allow you and your passenger to regulate your air conditioning individually and automatically in the 2024 Lexus RC and RC F.
Technology
Today the driving enthusiast isn’t just looking for an exhilarating ride. They want entertainment technology for the sheer joy of having it all at their fingertips.
In the new Lexus RC 300, a 7-inch infotainment system with HD Radio provides a vibrant and engaging interface for accessing various features. The touchpad control, thoughtfully placed at the driver's right hand, adds a sense of control and playfulness to your driving experience.
In its top-tier configuration, the 2024 RC 300 cockpit offers an advanced high-resolution color monitor positioned conveniently behind the steering wheel. All of this, combined with the 10.3-inch display that includes built-in navigation, elevates your control and connectivity to new heights, ensuring that your drive is as entertaining as it is efficient.
The standard 10-speaker audio system delivers remarkable sound quality that can turn even routine drives into fun outings. And for the ultimate in-car audio experience, there's the 17-speaker, 835-watt Mark Levinson sound system. With this, every note and beat are elevated to concert hall levels of brilliance.
Safety
The small cabin comes packed with three times as many airbags as it has occupants.
And, like any good Lexus, the new RC and RC F coupes know how to stop. It starts with electronic brakeforce distribution between the two axles and brake assist to help the driver during panicked braking. Even better, the RC has Brembo brakes equipped with 15-inch ventilated front rotors and 13.6-inch rear rotors.
Keeping the RC out of trouble, the Lexus Safety System includes a full forward-collision system, a blind spot monitor, and a lane departure alert. When you grow tired of handling the drive, you can turn to Dynamic Radar Cruise Control.
