Concept

The Lexus RC was conceived as an "Impassioned and Captivating Coupe", created to set the brand alight as the first-ever Lexus production coupe. Our approach to breathing life into this concept was passionate and direct: captivate with the very first look; then experience impassioned performance on the very first drive.

Interior

Complimenting the sleek exterior, the interior of the Lexus RC embeds a class-elevating, contemporary sports dynamic that fuses the love of sports driving pleasure with the elegance of a premium coupe. The sports focus is evident in the open feeling created by the horizontal lines of the instrument panel, the upward slope of the center console, and large knee pads on the sides of the center console and door trim.

Styling

The freshness and individuality of the Lexus RC coupe styling are expressed in a breathtaking design that exudes the solidity and condensed looks of a single mass, from the front, side, rear, and even the cabin. Each component is part of a 3-dimensional form, over which sculpted contours flow in continuous lines.

Technology

Optitron Meters

The self-illuminating, 2-eye Optitron meters in the Lexus RC provide vital driving information at a glance. The distinctive white scales of the meter rings exude dynamic sports performance. The illumination of the multi-information display in the center of the meter cluster changes color to highlight the drive mode selected.
