Lexus United States has decided to give a sovereign boost to the sales of one of its sportiest models, especially after the arrival of the BMW M4 to the New Continent. Only 50 units of a special edition with a unique image that will be on sale in the second half of September.
Taking advantage of the introduction of improvements in the Lexus RC F 2022, the Lexus division in the United States will launch a special edition of the sportier model, only 50 units that will go on sale in the second half of this September of the exclusive Lexus RC F Fuji Speedway Edition.
The sportiest and most savage of the RC is presented with a more than aggressive aesthetic and improvements especially focused on the high performance of its features, paying homage to one of the most sacred Temples of speed, the one located at the foot of the mountain. Fuji, in Japan. The special series stands out for a unique paint color, “Electric Surge Blue”, finished in a glossy finish that simulates matte, combined with the roof and engine hood in carbon fiber, like the rear bumper that encompasses a titanium diffuser and exhaust system.
The Lexus RC F Fuji Speedway Edition is faster than the RC F
A combination that moves to the interior, with the sports front seats upholstered in black and blue Alcantara, the same material that covers the gear lever gaiter and the steering wheel rim, using carbon fiber with a bluish tint on the decorative trims. An exclusive atmosphere that is rounded off by the door sill slats bearing the ‘F’ logo and a limited edition number plate.
The Lexus RC F Fuji Speedway Edition also features two new spoilers, one on the front lip and one fixed with two side wings at the rear, both of carbon fiber with which it reduces the weight, in addition to a braking system with ceramic discs provided by Brembowith six pistons at the front and four at the rear, hidden behind impressive 19-inch alloy wheels. They are painted in matt black, and mounted on 255 / 35ZR19 front and 275 / 35ZR19 rear tires.
Enough equipment to stop this beast of the road and the circuits, which mounts the engine 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 with a maximum output of 477 hp. The Japanese sports car transfers the power to the ground through an eight-speed “Sport Direct-Shift” automatic gearbox, with “Launch Control” function, capable of reaching 100 km / h, from standstill, in just 3.96 seconds, a few tenths less than the conventional RC F that needs 4.2 seconds.
