They say the Lexus RC F has been made for drivers of all skill, from racers to those simply enjoying driving on an open road. However, such performance and looks come at a price and that’s just bellow £60,000 in the United Kingdom.
The all new Lexus RC F has now a price in the UK being offered in two variants - the standard and the Carbon one - both being already available to order at your local dealership starting now while deliveries are due to start in January 2015.
For £59,995 you get the standard RC F, which comes with 19-inch forged alloy rims wrapped in Michelin tires, LED headlights and LED daytime running lights, 10-speaker sound system with Premium Navigation, rearview camera, electric mirrors, Brembo brakes, Sachs monotube shocks, cruise control, 2-zone climate control, 8-way electric leather seats and more.
If you consider all these rather normal, more spoils can be had in the RC F Carbon, which is offered at £67,995 and comes with different design alloy wheels, carbon fiber roof, hood and rear spoiler, a high performance Mark Levinson sound system and the torque vectoring differential.
Another interesting thing about the new V8 is the fact that it used the Atkinson cycle at low speeds or during cruising to minimize fuel consumption and it returns no normal operation as soon as you step on the gas to provide maximum performance.
The RC F also comes with a revised Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management system with new Sport and Expert settings you can play with and explore the coupe’s limits (on a circuit, of course).

Performance
In both cases, power comes from Lexus’ new 5-liter V8 which puts out 467 hp (471 bhp) and 530 Nm of torque, all handled by an 8-speed automatic gearbox. Working altogether, the RC F cover 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.5 seconds, on way to a top speed of 168 mph (270 km/h).Another interesting thing about the new V8 is the fact that it used the Atkinson cycle at low speeds or during cruising to minimize fuel consumption and it returns no normal operation as soon as you step on the gas to provide maximum performance.
