Exterior

The Lexus RC has the same exterior design as the Lexus coupe; the differentiating factors are a uniquely low and wide application of the regular spindle grille, and deep contoured lines. Its triangular headlamps evoke the sporty characteristics of the LF-LC design and display the famous “L” shape whenever the low beams are put on.

The RC’s large aluminum wheels are a continuation of the “concept to reality” design philosophy; the wheels can either come in a 10-spoke, 19 inch style or a muscular 5-spoke, 18-inch style.

In order to give the RC a deeper look, Lexus has adopted a painting process that uses several layers of deeper colors and clear coating.

Interior

For its interior, the new RC receives a custom develop lighting package which makes the car’s interior sporty and sleek. Lexus also designed a special interior tone called “clove”; in order to make the interior more luxurious.

They have also integrated genuine Shimamoku wood trims. The cockpit has been divided into display and operational zones. The top zone has a 7-inch navigation screen and an instrument panel while the layered center console utilizes a remote touch interface.
