One of the most striking sports cars on the road is the new Lexus RC350. Made to be driven swiftly, the RC350 impresses with its level of high speed composure and refined dynamics. Power is punchy, while the interior quality is second to none.
Three Lexus RC350 variants are available in the form of Luxury, F Sport and Sports Luxury. All are well equipped levels of trim, and all boast some of the most modern and technologically sophisticated interiors. Blue backlighting is attractive, and all the dials and screens are vivid and clear to read. Bucket racing seats welcome the front seat occupants, while things like air conditioning, a leather accented interior, a satellite navigation system and mobile phone additions3 are standard features on-board a Lexus RC350 Coupe. One nice addition that you might like to add as part of the enhancement pack is the gorgeous moonroof for added appeal. The moonroof is standard on the Sports Luxury variant. In the base model, a ten speaker premium audio package is standard and this can be accessed via steering wheel mounted controls for the driver. Climate air-conditioning, and electric windows and front seats are standard.
LED head lights and tail lights are nice touches to what really is a gorgeous coupe design. It’s different, yet so stylish. I rate this as one of the nicest looking coupes on the market – and these days there are quite a number of good looking coupes. Wide, low profile alloys are shod with 235 mm rubber front and rear for the Luxury model. The F Sport and Sports Luxury get wider 265 mm tyres at the back. A double wishbone suspension at the front and a multilink set-up at the rear equate to some serious road holding ability, and massive 334 mm brake discs at the front and 310 mm discs at the rear provide massive stopping power.
RC stands for Racing Coupe, so even the name suggests you are in for a special ride. The Lexus RC350 is powered by the smooth and powerful Lexus 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine. Rated at 233 kW, and with 378 Nm of torque at 4800 rpm, there is more than enough horses to cause a stampede! The RC350 always feels responsive and quick, and handling is superb. You will enjoy driving this special Lexus Coupe. Equipped with active driving aids to monitor vehicle behaviour, the Lexus RC350 boasts a new level of control and driver satisfaction. A Lexus Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management System (VDIM) uses Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Traction Control (TRC), Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Electric Power Steering (EPS) and other systems to check and adapt vehicle dynamics while on the road. Adjustments are made in milliseconds to fully control the car. The result is an exceptionally well mannered coupe that can turn on some very quick cornering for all road surfaces. In the right situation, you can let the RC350 run up to well over 250 km/h, while the 0-100 km/h will have been completed in a smidgeon over six seconds. If this doesn’t suffice, then you’d better opt for the potent V8 powered RC F.
Drive a sleek new Lexus RC350, and you are in a new league of special vehicles.
