2015 Lexus RC F: Up Close
One of the first things you notice about the new Lexus RC F — apart from its massive hourglass grille — is how low it is, both its roofline and stance. The coupe is hunkered down on 19-inch forged-alloy wheels, which together with low-profile tires fill out the wheel wells nicely.

The rear-quarter view is my favorite; it lets you see the coupe’s stout rear fenders, fastback roofline, thin taillights and aggressive bumper styling.
Mark Templin, executive vice president of Lexus, said the RC F is as wide as the Lexus GS, as short as an IS and shares components from both. Cabin styling, especially the dashboard, draws heavily from the IS, and there’s a new version of Lexus’ Remote Touch interface that introduces a touchpad controller to the center console. It’s used to navigate the dashboard screen. The front sport seats are exceptionally comfortable and feature unique wave-like stitching. I was comfortable in the driver’s seat, but there’s not a lot of extra space.
