2014 Lexus RC officially revealed

Lexus has recently revealed the 2014 RC Coupe ahead of the car’s public debut scheduled for Tokyo Motor Show.

The all-new RC takes certain visual exterior cues from the LF-LC and LF-CC concepts and now adopts a lower and winder spindle front grille and an overall contoured shape. Other highlights include three LED lamps in the triangular headlights, 18-inch five-spoke muscular alloy wheels or optional 19-inch deeply sculpted ten-spoke rims with both of them featuring black and platinum center caps.

Talking about the interiors, the cabin is inspired by Lexus’ recent concepts and comes with the firm’s first ever lightning package with illumination that reflects upwards instead of downwards. Further, the upper area of the dashboard incorporates the instrument panel and a seven-inch navigation display while the layered center console comes with a built-in Remote Touch Interface, a novelty in a Lexus model.

At the show there will be two versions of the RC Coupe: RC 350 and RC 300h Hybrid. The first one will come equipped with a V6 3.5-liter gasoline engine while the other will be powered by a 2.5-liter mill working together with an electric motor. In terms of dimensions, both are 184.8 inches (4693mm) long, 54.9 inches (1394mm) tall, 72.4 inches (1838mm) wide and a 107.5-inch (2730mm) wheelbase.
