2021 RC F Fuji Speedway Edition Takes Assertive Driving to the Next Level

Minimizing weight while maximizing aerodynamics, the high-performance Lexus RC F boasts the best power-to-weight ratio offered in its class and is the most powerful V8-powered Lexus to date. And new for 2021, the luxury brand has introduced the all-new 472-horsepower RC F Fuji Speedway Edition.

Paying homage to the track where F began, and named after the world-renowned "Temple of Speed" in the foothills of Mount Fuji, this unique edition embodies decades of development on this iconic track designated as the birthplace of Lexus high-performance. Precisely engineered with upgrades that help push its performance to a new level, the RC F Fuji Speedway Edition features further weight reduction, Brembo Carbon Ceramic brakes, titanium exhaust, and an extensive use of carbon fiber aerodynamics.

Highly sought after by auto enthusiasts who value top-level performance and artfully-executed craftsmanship, the RC F is a work of art in and of itself with a wide range of mechanical enhancements that take assertive driving to the next level both on and off the track. This version of the performance coupe accelerates from a standstill to 60 mph in just 3.96 seconds with a top track speed of 168 mph, and its naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 producing 472 horsepower with 395 pound-feet of torque boasts cunning dynamics, a unique exhaust signature, and an athletic personality.

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.

Source: Lexus | The greatest measure of a vehicle's response is the one it invokes in the driver. And it's precisely why every element of the high-performance RC F is painstakingly scrutinized to minimize weight while maximizing aerodynamics. From hollow half shafts down to the smallest components like a compact air conditioning compressor, every gram was purposefully crafted for optimal performance. Lexus engineers worked with the RC F GT3 racing team to create a unique aerodynamics strategy that increases downforce for better grip and control through every turn. Even the airflow inside the wheel wells was carefully calculated. Air exits through the fenders, allowing the suspension to perform without disruptive air pressure, simultaneously enhancing handling and stability. And taking traction to the next level, each tread line on the RC F's Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tires features a specially developed compound to maximize grip. From its muscular stance and available Premium Triple-Beam LED headlamps and taillamps, to its driver-inspired cabin including aggressively styled high-back sport seats, the RC F is the ultimate F, inside and out.
