WHAT’S NEW: 2015 RC F
|
HIGHLIGHTS
|
The 2015 Lexus RC F is an all new luxury performance coupe, arriving in Canada this year. Based on the performance-oriented GS platform yet engineered as an all-new model, the four-seater, rear-wheel-drive RC F builds on the all-new RC 350 with even more aggressive styling and high performance. Packed with Lexus firsts, including many new performance-enhancing technologies, the RC F stands apart from other luxury coupes, including the RC models on which it is based. As a Lexus, the new RC F features generous yet thoughtful applications of leading edge technology, exquisite comfort and amenities, and the quality and legendary customer experience that have become hallmarks of the Lexus brand.

PERFORMANCE AND DRIVING DYNAMICS
|
- The most powerful Lexus V8 F model to date
- An all-new, 5.0L 32-valve V8 that delivers more than 450 peak horsepower and more than 520Nm of torque.
- The first Lexus to combine Atkinson and Otto cycles. The RC F uses the Atkinson cycle for cruising speeds to maximize fuel efficiency, but switches seamlessly to the Otto cycle at higher revolutions to deliver impressive performance.
- The world’s first vehicle to use a Torque Vectoring Differential in a front engine, rear drive car. The TVD operates in three modes:
- STANDARD balances nimble performance with stability
- SLALOM emphasises nimble performance
- TRACK delivers consistent, stable behaviour to hold to cornering lines as the driver applies more throttle.
- Newly performance calibrated eight-speed sequential shift electronically controlled transmission with intelligence, fitted with paddle shifters.
- An active rear wing: Inspired by the Lexus LFA supercar, this wing deploys at 80 kph to provide additional down force.
- Bonnet air outlets, and cooling ducts behind bumper and front fenders to aid in cooling and overall vehicle stability.
- Carefully tuned flat underbody with strategically placed aero stabilizing fins.
- Highly rigid body with large cross-section rocker panels and highly rigid front lower brace.
- Wider tire and wheel assembly for maximum grip.
- Coil spring independent suspension front and rear, with monotube gas dampers and ball-joined stabilizer bars.
- Newly designed 19” forged aluminum wheels.
- Brembo disc brakes
