Design

Aggressively Crafted Exterior

The 2024 Lexus RC luxury sport coupe channels the spirit of the ground-shaking Lexus LC, with its sharp front bumper and spindle grille design, and character lines that emphasize its low proportions and planted stance. Precision-machined 19” wheels add to RC’s muscular image - deeply sculpted alloys on RC 300 AWD Premium, F SPORT  alloy wheels on the RC 300 AWD F SPORT  Series 2, and dark metallic Enkei alloy wheels on the RC 350.

F SPORT  Enhancements

RC F SPORT  takes its bold exterior one step further with a series of exclusive features including a more distinctive front bumper design, spindle grille mesh pattern, jet black chrome plating, and aluminum wheels that reflect the design theme of the LC and LS. Available in a striking Flare Yellow.

F SPORT  Interior

Inset daytime running lights (DRL) enhance the design, and enable other drivers to see you from a greater distance.
