Just explored the lexus website as they had all the new specs up for the 2016 RC and I saw a new feature that says the F sports will have G Force and Turbo Boost display ability. Anyone heard of this before? Seems interesting.

 

Is there a software upgrade for the 2015s?

 

Im confused, is the RC 300 launching in the US? And are the 2016s out yet?

 

These come one the NX. the boost is nice to have, but not sure why they put a g force on the NX lol

 

Pretty cool feature. I wish the new RC was a turbo 6!!!!!!!!!!

 

Dear Lexus,

"Please give the new RC more low end torque or bolt on a couple whistling turbos, and leave out the geeky G Force display which no one will ever use"

Thank You

The RC300 is going to be the AWD option for the RC200t, similar to the 2016 IS line. It's a detuned 3.5L V6 with 255 hp and 236 lb/ft torque, while getting 19/21/26 mpg, and starts at $42610. Not sure why someone would get the RC300 when for a couple grand more they could get the RC350 AWD that has significantly more power and same fuel economy. Seems like a no brainier to me...
