Lexus - RC F - Brochure - 2015 - 2015

2015 YOUR PULSE HAS BEEN WARNED. Designed for the track but more than ready for the road, the RC F embodies our best design and performance thinking. While one look will enthrall you, one drive will convince you. Our primary goal is exceeding your expectations. Built from the asphalt up – in every sense. With the most powerful V8 engine1 ever developed by Lexus, jaw-dropping exterior styling, and a myriad of road-kicking features, the Lexus RC F will electrify you. EXTERIOR DESIGN RC F PLEASE FASTEN YOUR EYEBALLS. CARBON-FIBRE COMPONENTS: SURPRISING LIGHTNESS AND STRENGTH The available Performance package includes carbon-fibre roof, and rear active spoiler. The upside: a decreased curb weight and lower centre of gravity that translates to better performance, as well as a spectacular street presence. From any angle, the RC F exterior design commands stop-in-yourtracks stares and boldly implies heart-pounding performance. Its own unique version of the spindle grille dominates the front of the vehicle, with a subtle “F” motif embedded in the mesh below the Lexus symbol. From the aerodynamic stabilizing fins to the stacked trapezoidal quad-outlet exhaust tailpipes, this car’s aggressive design rules the day. Strategically placed front bumper ducts and a high bonnet create a gorgeous flared profile and augment the stunning look. Optional 10-spoke 19-inch forged aluminum wheels with a hand finished polish can put the look right over the top. ACTIVE REAR WING An active rear wing deploys at 80 km/h to create added downforce and increase driving stability. The wing retracts at speeds less than 40 km/h. Available in the Performance package. INTERIOR DESIGN RC F YOU DON’T SIT. YOU POSITION YOURSELF TO CHALLENGE GRAVITY. ALL-NEW INSTRUMENT METER Inspired by the LFA and aircraft cockpit instruments, Lexus introduces an all-new instrument meter for RC F. A large centrally mounted tachometer that adjusts according to the drive mode is joined by digital and analogue speed readout, differential torque vectoring monitor, G-Force meters, oil and water temperature gauges, mileage information and even a stop watch. An interior worthy of the stunning exterior. A switchable central dial has four different settings tailored to different driving modes. And the RC F debuts another Lexus first: an elliptical cross-section thick-grip steering wheel with perfect placement of paddle gear shifts. While L-shaped rubber slits in the brake and accelerator pedals merge form and function to provide better grip. The front seats are engineered with “Integrated Foaming” construction to enable excellent holding performance even while experiencing high lateral G-forces. PERFORMANCE RC F IT DOESN’T JUST HIT THE ROAD. IT ANNIHILATES IT. NIMBLE, NIMBLER OR NIMBLEST You’ll be amazed how its unforgettable driving performance is that much more responsive thanks to the available, all-new Torque Vectoring Differential (TVD) system. The TVD offers three different modes: Standard, Slalom or Track that optimize performance, steering and stability based on the driving conditions. The RC F engine boasts the most powerful Lexus V8 engine to date. Powered with a 5.0 L V8, this engine speaks volumes1 – 467 horsepower to be exact. And a couple of Lexus firsts also make powerful statements. The available, all-new Torque Vectoring Differential (TVD) augments driving performance. The potent engine’s use of the Atkinson cycle at cruising speeds (for better fuel economy) and the Otto cycle at higher rpm (to deliver impressive performance levels) will make those neck hairs stand at attention. IT HAS AN EIGHT-SPEED TRANSMISSION (TRY NOT TO PLAY FAVOURITES) The RC F boasts a uniquely tuned eight-speed Sports Direct Shift (SPDS) transmission that greatly improves linear throttle response. Torque and power are applied precisely as you apply it. SMOOTH AND STABLE Its newly calibrated Sport Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (Sport VDIM) now has a vertical G-sensor that provides better stability. The front and rear coil-spring independent suspension feature monotube gas-filled shock absorbers and ball-jointed stabilizers, as well as forged aluminum upper and lower arms to reduce weight and increase rigidity. Excess unsprung weight is reduced by two new 19-inch forged aluminum wheel options, whose tire/wheel assembly mass has been minimized and rigidity maximized. Careful tuning of front and rear suspension bushings delivers precise handling and excellent road feel. This is further improved by front and rear floor and rocker braces and an engine compartment and rear partition brace that also help the RC F achieve high rigidity. Finally, the absence of 60-40 split folding seats, a shorter wheelbase, and additional strategic spot welds also contribute to rigidity and improved handling. SAFETY RC F 360 DEGREES OF VIGILANCE. LANE DEPARTURE ALERT AND AUTOMATIC HIGHBEAM Lane Departure Alert3 uses a camera mounted behind the rear-view mirror to help you monitor your position in your lane and warns you if you inadvertently drift out of it. Automatic High Beam18 uses the same camera to switch to low beam when the lights of oncoming or preceding vehicles are detected. The RC F cradles you in safety and is the first Lexus to offer the next generation Blind Spot Monitor System.8 The system’s detection range of vehicles approaching from behind at high speed has been extended, giving you a better perspective of what’s behind as you power ahead. PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM The PCS10 uses radar to detect and constantly monitor the distance of the vehicle directly in front. Should it determine a frontal collision is inevitable, the PCS automatically tightens the seatbelts and preps the Brake Assist System14 to help provide you with more braking power. REAR CROSS-TRAFFIC ALERT The RCTA4 uses the Blind Spot Monitor8 to detect vehicles approaching behind you as you reverse. It helps alert you via a visual display in the door mirrors and an audible warning. RC F FEATURES STANDARD LUXURY LUXURY AND CONVENIENCE: Voice-activated navigation system with Remote Touch7 Backup camera6 Heated and leather wrapped power tilt and telescopic steering wheel with paddle shifters Smart Key System with Push Button Start5 Digital stopwatch Aluminized fibreglass on resin trim LED illumination system Intuitive Parking Assist Dynamic Radar Cruise Control9 19-inch forged aluminum wheels, F centre wheel ornament Heated, foldable, auto-dimming side view mirrors with integrated signal and puddle lamps, link to seat memory Retractable rear spoiler Power slide/tilt moonroof Sport grille and hood scoop Automatic wipers LED ambient lighting SEATING AND TRIM: Leather seat surfaces 8-way heated power adjustable drivers seat with seat memory and ventilation fan 8-way heated power passenger seat with ventilation fan AUDIO, COMMUNICATIONS AND INSTRUMENTATION: 17 Speaker Mark Levinson® Premium Audio System11 Bluetooth® capability15 Integrated SiriusXM® Satellite Radio16 Navigation System7 7-inch display screen Shark fin type antenna 2 USB audio inputs, 1 aux input Full TFT LCD gauge cluster Sport gauges LFA Full TFT instrument cluster G meter Torque Distribution meter STANDARD SAFETY AND SECURITY ACTIVE SAFETY: BREMBO® brake calipers, rotors and brake pads Blind Spot Monitor8 Lane Change Assist LED brake lamps Pre-Collision System10 Lane Departure Alert3 Rear Cross-Traffic Alert Automatic high beam18 LED Headlamps Automatic Headlamp System LED Rear Tail Lamps LED Daytime Running Lights PASSIVE SAFETY: Front seat side airbags19 Dual stage driver & passenger airbag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)12, 19 Front passenger airbag status indicator Driver and front passenger knee airbags19 Front and rear side curtain airbags19 LEXUS GENUINE ACCESSORIES: Illuminated doorsills For complete features and specs, visit lexus.ca STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS BODY AND DIMENSIONS CURB WEIGHT 1,795 kg/3,958 lb HEIGHT 1,390 mm (54.7 in) ENGINE TYPE Combined Atkinson / Otto Cycle, 5.0-litre, 8-cylinder, DOHC, 32-valve, Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i), sequential multiport electronic fuel injection, Direct-Injection 4 -Stroke Gasoline Engine (D-4S), quad tailpipes, cool air intake, active sound control.
