RC F SPORT FEATURES "EMOTIONAL ASH" WITH GLOSSY BLACK FINISH

The "LC" special edition, "Aviation," was born from technical exchange with Japan's leading aerobatic pilot, Yoshihide Mutoh. Inspired by the sight of birds and aircraft dancing gracefully through the sky, this model focuses on aerodynamic technology.

The "Aviation" is based on the LC500h and LC500, and features a CFRP rear wing, individually finished by artisans at the LFA Works, exclusively for this special edition. While typical rear wings contribute to driving stability by generating downforce, this CFRP rear wing, inspired by the winglets on the tips of aircraft wings, controls airflow along the sides of the vehicle, leading to quicker yaw response and smoother changes in vehicle attitude.

The exterior features black paint on the front grille, and garnishes for the front and rear lamps, creating a sharp and sophisticated impression. The interior color scheme incorporates "Aviation Black," exclusive to this special edition.

Furthermore, customers who purchase the vehicle will be invited to a special event with Yoshihide Mutoh.

Meanwhile, the "Emotional Ash" special edition for the RC is based on the RC350, RC300h, and RC300 F SPORT models. It unifies the glossy black finish for the spindle grille, aluminum wheels, door mirrors, and muffler cutters.

This is incorporated into the steering wheel, power window switch base, and instrument panel ornaments. Additionally, black leather seats with silver stitching and a dedicated meter opening screen create an elegant interior space.
