14th December, 2014

Lexus has released its all-new 3.5 litre V6 coupe, the RC 350, across the nation.

It is the latest vehicle to herald the reinvention of the Lexus brand ahead of its 25th anniversary.

As with other recent offerings from the marque, RC 350 takes Lexus in a new direction with its styling and drive experience, and is designed to engage with a younger audience.

The RC 350 is not an adapted sedan; it has been designed as a coupe from the ground up.

It has an involving chassis to deliver driving pleasure, a high output drivetrain with smooth, responsive power delivery and a bold styling package.

The Lexus RC 350 coupe provides the segment with a new alternative.

Lexus Australia chief executive Sean Hanley said the introduction of the RC 350 was a necessary step in lifting the brand's ability to stir emotions.

"The RC 350 is a very important vehicle for us - it provides a clear aspirational target and injects a stronger connection to the brand, combining with its strong quality and innovation hallmarks," Mr Hanley said.

"Our LFA super car from 2010 previously embodied Lexus' passion and acted as an emotional drawcard, and it was one of the most important models we've ever produced. However, it was off limits to most buyers."

"This new vehicle brings a portion of LFA's excitement to a more attainable market segment, and it will boost the brand's appeal even further," he said.

Lexus RC 350 follows the Lexus 'Y' strategy with its three model offerings: starting with Luxury then followed by two upwardly aimed arms with F Sport and Sports Luxury variants.

It offers a high level of standard equipment, beginning with the attractive $66,000* Luxury grade.

The F Sport version ups the ante with the Lexus Dynamic Handling system which incorporates Variable Gear Ratio Steering and Dynamic Rear Steering, as well as unique interior and exterior treatments.

The top-of-the-line Sports Luxury version adds Adaptive Variable Suspension, its own 19-inch alloy design, 17-speaker Mark Levinson audio, Shimamoku ornamentation, power front seats with driver memory and semi-aniline leather accented trim.

RC 350's Lexus firsts include a significantly upgraded Blind Spot Monitor which can detect vehicles within a range up to 60 metres.

It also introduces a unique paint application technique together with new custom colours - Infrared and Cobalt Mica (blue).

The new Lexus RC 350 is available in three model variants: Luxury, F Sport and Sports Luxury.
