POTENT POWER
2020 Lexus RC FSharper and more powerful than the RC 350 F Sport that it’s based
on, the 2020 Lexus RC F boasts a normally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 that
shells out a whopping 471hp and 530Nm. Transmission is a tweaked
8-speed automatic, with a shorter final drive ratio for quicker off-the-
line acceleration. This luxury sport coupe can go from 0 to 100kph in
4.5 seconds and has a top speed of 270kph.The facelifted RC F also sports a domed hood, big, bulging fenders,
refreshed headlights and taillights, new front and rear bumpers, and
carbon fiber highlights. A new set of 19-inch forged aluminum alloy
wheels is shod with staggered Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires.Inside, the 2020 RC F gets carbon cloth trim, eight-way power front
seat adjuster with memory, seats covered in semi-aniline leather,
heated steering wheel, and dual-zone air conditioning system. A
17-speaker Mark Levinson surround system provides aural bliss.The P5,928,000 Lexus RC F is available in six exterior colors: Radiant
Red Contrast Layering, Heat Blue Contrast Layering, White Nova
Glass Flake, Sonic Titanium, Graphite Black Glass Flake, and— new
to the RC F— Naples Yellow Contrast Layering, which was first made
available in the flagship LC 500.
