The RC F’s cabin is a rich, strange, comfortable and deeply impressive yet still often frustrating bubble. It’s no great departure, though – a Lexus interior of the kind we’ve grown used to in recent years.
Which means, for starters, that it’s appointed and finished with superbly consistent quality throughout. It means that the seats are large, soft and smoothly stitched, and the dashboard and other fixtures are rock solid and expensive to the touch. It also means that the fascia, steering wheel and transmission tunnel are about as button-littered and type-festooned as the pilot’s console of a Soyuz space rocket.
As for the standard equipment, there are two trims - RC F and RC F Carbon. Entry-level models include adaptive suspension, Brembo brakes, a limited slip differential, lane departure warning, electrically adjustable, heated and folding mirrors, automatic lights and wipers, LED headlights, a retractable rear spoiler and 19in alloy wheels on the outside as standard, while inside there is cruise control, keyless entry, dual-zone climate control, semi-aniline leather upholstery, ventilated sports seats and a 7.0in Lexus infotainment system complete with sat nav, DAB radio, Bluetooth and two USB connectivity.
