Drive the Lexus RC-F using Virtual Reality

What's the next best thing to actually driving the RC-F? How about driving it through virtual reality?

Lexus has created an action-packed scenario in which the user can take the RC-F for a drive on the Ascari circuit in the south of Spain. All this is possible through the use of a smartphone app.

"For the RC F, we have created an amazing virtual reality experience that can be enjoyed and shared by anyone, anywhere – without the traditional hardware limitations. The combination of realism, multi-platform availability and YouTube 360° video streaming makes it truly a world first,” said Spiros Fotinos, Lexus Europe’s Head of Marketing.

Through this virtual reality app the user will experience the authentic speed, handling and sound of the 475 horsepower V8 in the RC F.

You can use your phone or the Google Cardboard VR viewer, but for best results you should use the Oculus Rift VR version.
