Lexus RC

Lexus Australia has issued a recall of 6610 of its model-year 2013-2019 IS (ASE30 and GSE31), GS (ARL10, GLR10/11/12 and GWL10), RX (GGL2# and GYL2#), LC (GWZ100 and URZ100), LS (USF40, GVF50, VXFA50 and UVF4#), LX (URJ201), NX (AGZ1#) (pictured above), RC (ASC10 and GSC10), and IS-F (USE20) models due to a faulty fuel pump. Affected models were sold between 27 September 2013 and 29 February 2020.

Lexus has announced pricing for its updated RC F coupe, which now costs $134,129 before on-road costs. That's a $3600 price cut for the outgoing RC F, which now sits below the Track Edition in the line-up. Power still comes from a 5.0-litre naturally-aspirated V8 making 351kW of power and 530Nm of torque, put to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The Lexus RC F Track Edition will make its debut at the 2019 Detroit motor show, which takes place in the middle of January. Apart from the teaser image of the car's large carbon-fibre rear wing, and its debut date and name, Lexus hasn't revealed any other details about the new range-topping RC variant. Last spied on the Nurburgring, the Track Edition will feature revised front and rear bumpers, more aggressive side sills, and a carbon-fibre bonnet with a large vent.

The updated 2018 Lexus RC range has been detailed for Australia, bringing upgraded infotainment and driver-assistance systems to the Japanese luxury coupe. Key changes for the new model year include the introduction of a larger 10.3-inch central infotainment display (up from 7.0 inches) in conjunction with a larger touch-pad controller, pedestrian detection for the autonomous emergency braking system, lane-keep assist and automatic high beam.

The 2017 Lexus GS F sports sedan and 2017 Lexus RC F sports coupe have been upgraded with the company's Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) system. AVS electronically monitors and controls the damping force at all four wheels simultaneously, based on driver preferences and the road conditions. Designed to improve ride comfort and handling stability, the AVS system relies on a range of sensors to adjust the suspension damping, including G-force, yaw-rate and speed sensors.
