The 2015
Lexus RC350. If you have friends whom already owns a BMW 4 series, or Audi A5
(which,I'm guessing you must be rich), and you would like to have a different batch
on your motor, this is the car to go with. An aggressive looking, humongous
spindle-grill car is sure a head turner.
From the
side, the body sure does look like the BMW 4 series. It's a sports 2+2 coupe,
an advantage if your already married and have kids but still stubborn insists on buying sports car, because you
married at very young age and don't wanna buy a family sedan until you're
30.
The
spindle grill with chrome finishing is most probably the Lexus noticeable
signature on its vehicle's line up. Every lexus sports type model will have
this feature, while the 'less sporty' would have the typical horizontal line
grille. The RC stands for 'Radical Coupe', and 350 is the engine 3.5 liter
abreviation.
Apart
from the grille, the 2nd most noticeable feature will be most likely is the
head light. I guess every cars' model
can be distinguished by its head light's shape. You'll noticed have its
exaggerated wedge shape with 2 round of circle lights, and Audi with its dots
of LED light. The RC350 have its signature 3 small box of light group together
with v shaped light below. I don't know what's the name of it. Maybe we should
call it 'inverted eyebrow'.
Looking
at the back, the most probably noticeable feature is most probably the samurai
blade- looking rear light, exerted out from the rear body. Though it's a
coupe, it sure does have enough boot space to fit in your golf bag.
I would
say the best part to view the car is not from the front, but from the side-rear
view. A sleek, swoop looking with body with sharp-edged sure does seduces the
emotional heart of anyone who passes by the car. But the car's structure isn't
all that new. It is actually the combination of floor pan of the IS C, A-pillar
from the GS and rear structure from the IS.
Interior
Inside
the vehicle, you'll get that premium Lexus feel, with heat-adjustable steering
wheel with flappy pedal gear shifter, aluminum pedal LCD screen, multi-button
on the steering and the most
importantly, an analogue clock. You don't get that in a Lamborghini.
The
standard RC comes with the premium leather seat with adjustable seat with 3
settable positions. It sure does come in handy, especially if you're planning
to share it with your parents, your mom and dad sure can have its own seating
position themselves.
There are
some significant interior features here. There are 3 driving mode( eco, normal,
sports) mode with a separate snow driving mode. And the newest feature would
the touchpad. Works the same with like your computer touch pad, just flick and
click to control the monitor.
Performance
The
standard RC 350 comes with 3.5l V6 cylinder engine, enough to give you 277
pounds of torque. The low volume RC F however, is more for the speed junkies ,
its V8 engine has 161 more horses in it, packing a 389 worth of pounds of
torque. The standard RC will go from 0 to 60 in around 5-6 seconds, and RC F
can make in 4 . I've test driven the 0-60 Tesla, and believe me, any car that
comes around 4 seconds is really fast, it sinks your head in the head rest once
you push on the pedal.
Price
The
standard RC's price should be ranged around 6 million yen (RM180,000) and
upwards. For comparison, This car competes with BMW 4 series which ranged RM300,000
upwards, so the price sure does
looks competitive.
