ALL POWER.
NO MERCY.
It’s not just the next level of Lexus performance. It’s an unprecedented feat of
performance engineering that was forged from the asphalt up. With 467 horsepower,1
389 lb-ft of seat-pinning torque1 and not an ounce of restraint, this is the 2017 RC F.

LEXUS F:
A PEDIGREE FOR PERFORMANCE
While Fuji Speedway is world-renowned for
pushing the world’s best drivers to their limits, to
Lexus, it’s a proving ground for F performance.
And that’s only the beginning: Exhaustive testing,
tuning and engineering continue at the most
iconic and challenging tracks around the world,
from Germany to the United States. These grueling
development trials honed the most dominating
Lexus vehicles ever built, from the LFA supercar
to this, the 2017 RC F. Whether conquering
the track or commanding the street, the result is
nothing short of pure exhilaration.

With development processes culled straight from the paddock,
the RC F commands the road with authority. Its highly rigid body
is a product of specialized manufacturing techniques including
high-strength adhesive bonding, laser brazing, and laser screw
and multi-spot welding. And, to help ensure you get the most
out of every G, massive cross-section side sills and stiff front and
rear bracing combine with a wide wheel and tire assembly for
optimal grip while cornering.

MISSION: CONTROL
The RC F was designed to forge a connection
with the driver like never before. Low-set sport
seats help place your hip point as close as
possible to the vehicle’s center of gravity. For
greater control, a thick-grip steering wheel
feels as if it were molded to your hands. Large
paddle shifters are positioned for faster gear
changes. Even the distinctive pattern on the
racing pedals plays a role. The size and position
of the rubber pads are specifically designed
to help grip your foot, lap after exhilarating lap.

HOLDS ITS LINE.
AND ITS DRIVER.
Experience control with confidence as you conquer
every apex and curve. Embracing you from hip to
shoulder, these exclusive sport seats feature a unique
foam construction that’s designed to disperse body
pressure, increasing support and helping to keep you
firmly planted through turns. And, while the embossed
F on the headrests is a striking design element, the
stitching pattern on the seats was created to grab more
than just your attention. Inspired by specially crafted
athletic sportswear, the pattern’s shape and position
were carefully calculated to provide greater muscular
support and grip in high-G situations.

LOADED
DNA
RULING BY EXAMPLE: THE RC F GT3
Representing the introduction of Lexus into the
international GT3 race circuit, the RC F GT3
concept boasts a modified version of the RC F’s
powerful V8 engine, producing more than
500 horsepower. After exhaustive testing on
tracks around the world, our commitment
culminated with this: a production-ready RC F
GT3 driven by the legendary Scott Pruett.

BALANCE
OF POWER
Balance is essential to all aspects of performance. From the
low center of gravity to the way inertial force transitions
through the slalom. It was this commitment to optimal balance
that led to the 467-horsepower,1 5.0-liter V8 with innovative
components and lightweight titanium valves with high-strength,
forged connecting rods. And, making our most powerful V8
also our most stirring, it emits a throaty, specially tuned engine
sound as it screams to its impressive 7,300-rpm redline.
Allowing the driver to control the power and communicate
with the pavement, lightweight suspension materials such as
forged aluminum were used to reduce unsprung weight.
Engineered for superior handling, 70% of the double-wishbone
front and multilink rear suspension components were designed
specifically for the RC F. Its new F-Adaptive Variable Suspension
features 30 levels of damping that can stiffen for enhanced
response, based on the selected drive mode.
Perhaps the greatest display of engineering is the ability to wield
power precisely. The RC F was developed to deliver
full-throttle exhilaration when you want it and a refined ride
worth savoring when you don’t. In perfect balance.

15
PERFORMANCE, EVOLVED.
Once you experience the added exhilaration of
the RC F Performance Package, there’s no
going back. It features track-ready upgrades like
a Torque Vectoring Differential and exclusive
carbon fiber components fabricated at the
same workshop used to develop those on the
world-renowned LFA supercar. Offering
distinctive style and the same structural rigidity
as the standard steel components, the carbon
fiber roof and active rear wing both help
to reduce weight, lowering the RC F’s center of
gravity for more responsive handling.

EXHILARATION
ON DEMAND
TORQUE VECTORING DIFFERENTIAL
Putting added control into the hands of the driver, the RC F
offers a Lexus-first Torque Vectoring Differential. With three
driver-selectable modes—Standard, Slalom and Track—the
TVD responds in one-thousandth of a second to vary torque
distribution according to cornering conditions. By sending
more power to the outside rear tire, it helps rotate the RC F
around the turn for enhanced agility, while also helping you
to hold your line with unrelenting precision.
18

19
DOMINATING DETAILS
Developing a vehicle with the intensity of
the RC F required that every aspect be
engineered to perform. Massive Brembo®
brakes,3 vented hood and front fenders,
and a speed-activated rear wing add to
the RC F’s vigor. Inside the cockpit, a raceready gauge cluster with multi-information
display and a Remote Touchpad4 give
power to your fingertips.

CUSTOMIZABLE GAUGE DISPLAY
REMOTE TOUCHPAD
Keeping up with the rapid revs is no small feat. That’s why a
digital tachometer was implemented in this race-ready
gauge cluster. The easy-to-read, full-color LCD display
allows you to quickly organize the data you need to help
achieve optimum control. Readouts include performance
data such as drive mode, gear position, G-force, lap
times and customizable displays. Additionally, this in-dash
display offers multimedia linkage so that you can view
incoming calls, current song titles and more.
Equal parts functionality and form, the available Remote Touchpad4
is more than a way to access multimedia, climate controls and
available navigation. Featuring ample touch-surface area, pulsation
feedback and intuitive operation via pinch, swipe and flick
gestures just like your smartphone, the touchpad found in the RC F
offers innovation at your fingertips.
SEAMLESS PRECISION
ADVANCED AERODYNAMICS
STOPPING POWER
Proving its form also has function, the RC F pierces through
the air with both control and purpose. Its low-set front fascia
channels air through the vented hood, as well as through
signature F flared and vented fenders. When traveling above
50 mph, the RC F takes advantage of the air being routed
over the vehicle by deploying the speed-activated rear wing
for additional downforce.
Reining back such a high-performance machine lap after lap
requires serious stopping power. Get the control you crave, thanks
to the huge 14.9-inch front brake rotors clamped by massive
six-piston aluminum monoblock Brembo calipers.3 Featuring a
fast-cooling, slotted rotor design and high-friction pads 3 for
reduced brake fade, the RC F makes stopping almost as exciting
as going. Almost.

WARRANTY Four-year/50,000-mile Lexus Limited Warranty. Six-year/70,000-mile Powertrain Warranty. Six-year/unlimited-mileage Corrosion Perforation Warranty. All warranties with zero deductible.
See the RC F Warranty and Services Guide at your Lexus dealer for details.
DISCLOSURES 1. Ratings achieved using the required premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 or higher. If premium fuel is not used, performance will decrease. 2. Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0
and Infrared available for an additional charge. 3. High-friction brakes require periodic inspection and measurement as outlined in the Warranty and Services Guide. The pads and rotors are expected to
experience greater wear than conventional brakes. Pad life may be less than 20,000 miles, and brake rotor life may be less than 50,000 miles depending on driving conditions. It is an inherent characteristic
of materials and design of brake pads used in this high-performance brake system that brake noise/squeal may result. 4. Be sure to obey traffic regulations and maintain awareness of road and traffic conditions.
5. Be sure to obey traffic regulations and maintain awareness of road and traffic conditions at all times. Apps/services vary by phone/carrier; functionality depends on many factors. Select apps use large
amounts of data; you are responsible for charges. Apps & services subject to change. See lexus.com/enform for details. 6. Contact with the response center may not be available in all areas. Service Agreements
required. A variety of subscription terms available; charges will vary. See lexus.com for details. 7. Information provided is based on the last time data was collected from the vehicle and may not be up to date.
System functionality depends on vehicle connectivity. 8. Use only if aware of circumstances surrounding the vehicle, and it is legal & safe to do so (e.g., car uncovered in open area, no people or pets in or
nearby). If vehicle has not been driven for over a week, services will not be available until next time vehicle is started. Functionality depends on many factors, such as vehicle and smartphone connectivity. See
usage precautions, service limitations & Owner’s Manual. Data charges may apply. Registration, app download are required. Must have an active Safety Connect subscription. Annual fee required after 1-year
trial. 9. Mark Levinson® is a registered trademark of Harman International Industries, Inc. 10. Performance figures are for comparison only and were obtained with prototype vehicles by professional drivers
using special safety equipment and procedures. Do not attempt. 11. Preliminary mileage estimates determined by Lexus. EPA mileage estimates not available at time of publishing. Actual mileage will vary.
12. The SmartAccess system may interfere with some pacemakers or cardiac defibrillators. If you have one of these medical devices, please talk to your doctor to see if you should deactivate this system.
13. The engine immobilizer is a state-of-the-art anti-theft system. When you insert your key into the ignition switch or bring a SmartAccess fob into the vehicle, the key transmits an electronic code to the vehicle.
The engine will only start if the code in the transponder chip inside the key/fob matches the code in the vehicle’s immobilizer. Because the transponder chip is embedded in the key/fob, it can be costly to replace.
If you lose a key or fob, your Lexus dealer can help. Alternatively, you can find a qualified independent locksmith to perform high-security key services by consulting your local Yellow Pages or by contacting
www.aloa.org. 14. TORSEN® is a registered trademark of Zexel Torsen, Inc. 15. Availability & accuracy of the information provided by Scout® GPS Link is dependent upon many factors. Use common sense
when relying on information provided. Services & programming subject to change. Services not available in every city or roadway. See lexus.com/enform for details. Scout® is a registered trademark of Telenav,
Inc. 16. The backup camera does not provide a comprehensive view of the rear area of the vehicle. You should also look around outside your vehicle and use your mirrors to confirm rearward clearance.
Environmental conditions may limit effectiveness and view may become obscured. See Owner’s Manual for details. 17. HD Radio™ Technology manufactured under license from iBiquity Digital Corporation
U.S. and Foreign Patents. HD Radio™ and the HD, HD Radio, and “Arc” logos are proprietary trademarks of iBiquity Digital Corp. 18. Concentrating on the road should always be your first priority while
driving. Do not use the hands-free phone system if it will distract you. The Bluetooth® word mark and logos are registered trademarks owned by Bluetooth SIG, Inc. and any use of such marks by Lexus is under
license. A compatible Bluetooth-enabled phone must first be paired. Phone performance depends on software, coverage & carrier. 19. Always drive safely, obey traffic laws & focus on the road while driving.
Siri® is available only on iPhone® 4s or later, iPad® w/Retina® display, iPad® mini, & iPod® touch (5th gen.) & requires Internet access. Siri® is not available in all languages or all areas & features vary by area.
Some Siri® functionality & commands are not accessible in the vehicle. Data charges may apply. See Apple.com & phone carrier for details. Siri® is a registered trademark of Apple Inc. 20. All the airbag
systems are Supplemental Restraint Systems. All airbags (if installed) are designed to inflate only under certain conditions and in certain types of severe collisions: Typically, frontal and knee airbags inflate in
frontal collisions; side torso and side curtain airbags inflate in side collisions; and Roll-Sensing Curtain Airbags inflate at a severe roll angle or roll rate. To decrease the risk of injury from an inflating airbag,
always wear seatbelts, sit upright in the middle of the seat as far back as possible and do not lean against the door. Do not put objects in front of an airbag or around the seatback. Do not use a rearward-facing
child seat in any front passenger seat. The force of an inflating airbag may cause serious injury or death. See Owner’s Manual for further information/warnings. 21. Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management
(VDIM) is an electronic system designed to help the driver maintain vehicle control under adverse conditions. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Factors including speed, road conditions and driver
steering input can all affect whether VDIM will be effective in preventing a loss of control. See Owner’s Manual for details. 22. Do not rely exclusively on the Intuitive Parking Assist system. Always look over
your shoulder and use your mirrors to confirm clearance. System effectiveness depends on many factors. See Owner’s Manual for details. 23. The Pre-Collision System is designed to help reduce the crash
speed and damage in certain frontal collisions only. It is not a collision-avoidance system and is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on many factors, such as speed, driver
input and road conditions. See Owner’s Manual for details. 24. Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is designed to assist the driver and is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving practices. System effectiveness
depends on many factors, such as weather, traffic and road conditions. See Owner’s Manual for details. 25. iPhone® and iPad® are registered trademarks of Apple Inc. All rights reserved. 26. FaceTime® is
a registered trademark of Apple Inc. All rights reserved. 27. Do not rely exclusively on the Blind Spot Monitor. Always look over your shoulder and use your turn signal. There are limitations to the function,
detection, range and clarity of the monitor. See Owner’s Manual for details. 28. Do not rely exclusively on the Rear Cross-Traffic Alert system. Always look over your shoulder and use your mirrors to confirm
rear clearance. There are limitations to the function, detection, range and clarity of the system. See Owner’s Manual for details. 29. Be sure to obey traffic regulations and maintain awareness of road and traffic
conditions at all times. Availability & accuracy of the information provided by the Navigation System is dependent upon many factors. Use common sense when relying on information provided. Services &
