From passing slow-moving traffic to accelerating on the track, you will have all the power you need when you press the gas pedal.  

2. Luxurious cabin  

The cabin of the RC-F will have you forgetting that you bought a high-performance machine. It comes well-equipped and offers additional features such as heated and ventilated front seats, a powerful Mark Levinson^® audio system, and parking assists to help you navigate your RC F in comfort. The design also nods to the RC F’s performance abilities, including push-button start and performance-inspired instrumentation including a G-force display.

4. Unique color choices 

The Lexus RC F is available in a variety of color choices to ensure you stand out from the crowd.
