WHAT’S NEW: 2024 LEXUS RC SERIES

Five grades built around three exhilarating powertrains

Most models enhanced for 2024 with more standard features

Starting MSRP of $56,050

TORONTO, ONTARIO – NOVEMBER 23rd, 2023 – Canadian drivers passionate about performance need look no further than the Lexus RC series luxury sport coupes. Whether it’s the all-weather performance of the all-wheel-drive RC 300 AWD, the boosted power of the RC 350 AWD, or the track-dominating RC F, there’s an RC for every Guest who seeks thrilling journeys behind the wheel.

“At Lexus, we understand the love of driving and this passion is on full display with our RC series luxury sport coupes,” said Martin Gilbert, Director of Lexus Canada. “For 2024, we’ve enhanced four of our five models with new standard features and offer an incredible choice of body and cabin colour combinations to let every Canadian Guest make a striking statement about the pleasure of driving a well-engineered, beautiful luxury coupe.”

As a luxury sport coupe, the RC Series is all about performance. Lexus offers two all-wheel-drive RC powertrains as follows:

RC 300 AWD models feature a 3.5L direct injection V6 that delivers 260 peak horsepower and up to 236 lb-ft of torque.
The RC 350 AWD is built around an aggressively-tuned 3.5L dual injection V6 fitted with a sound amplifying resonator. This engine generates 311 peak horsepower and up to 280 lb-ft of torque.
Both of these engines are paired with a six-speed automatic. When operated in manual mode, full torque converter lockup from 2nd to 6th gears enables down shifts in just 0.2 seconds. In addition, every RC model features a Drive Mode Select system with Sport, Normal, and ECO settings to adjust the powertrain’s performance to match the driver’s mood.

For heart-racing performance, the RC F features a naturally-aspirated 5.0L V8 capable of 472 peak horsepower and up to 395 lb-ft of torque. This is paired with a precisely-tuned eight-speed Sport Direct Shift transmission that offers manual control through steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. A four-setting Drive Mode Select system includes Sport+ mode, while Launch Control helps ensure drivers squeeze the most out of every standing start by minimizing wheel spin and maximizing acceleration.

The 2024 Lexus RC proudly displays its sporty credentials with an aggressively crafted exterior featuring sharp front bumper and character lines that emphasize its low proportions and planted stance. Precision-machined 19” wheels add to its muscular image, with each model sporting grade-specific rims. The prominent signature Lexus Spindle Grille gives way to the more aggressive Mesh design on F SPORT grades. All models feature LED headlamps with integrated L-motif daytime running lights and taillights. RC F models are further defined by the addition of an active rear wing that deploys to keep the vehicle firmly planted at higher speeds.

Inside, the RC series welcomes up to four adults to a cabin designed with performance driving in mind. Front row seats are power adjustable, heated, and crafted to support driver and navigator during spirited manoeuvres. All models are enhanced with sporty touches and intelligent amenities throughout the cabin, while the driver-focussed cockpit makes it easy to see all instrumentation and puts controls within intuitive reach. RC F models feature deeply bolstered front-row seats with embossed “F” on the headrests.

Every 2024 RC features advanced yet intuitive technology features, headlined by display audio systems with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Every model also features the Lexus Enform bundle of connectivity services – including Remote Connect, Service Connect, and Safety Connect.

As a Lexus, every RC and RC F is impressively equipped with state-of-the-art safety features. All models are fitted with Lexus Safety System + 2.5 – a portfolio of Lexus active safety technologies that supports the driver’s awareness and decision-making under a range of traffic conditions and contingencies. Other standard safety systems include the Blind Spot Monitor System with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, the Lexus Star Safety System, eight airbags, and a tire pressure monitoring system.
