Lexus RC F, RC F Sport & RC F GT3 debut at Geneva Motor Show
Thu, 13 Feb 2014The Lexus RC (pictrured) will be joined by the RC F Sport and RC F GT3 at Geneva
The Lexus RC F Coupe finally got a reveal at the Detroit Motor Show last month, and it’s going to get its European debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month alongside another new Lexus – the Lexus RC F GT3. The new RC F looks a promising challenger to cars like the new BMW M4 or the Audi RS 5, with decent looks and the promise of impressive performance from its V8 which develops more than 450bhp.
Lexus want us to think that a lot of the RC F’s dynamics are taken from the DNA of the LFA, and if that’s the case the Germans could finally have real competition on their hands from Lexus.
But it won’t just be the RC F that gets a debut at the Geneva Motor Show, Lexus are planning to reveal an RC F GT3, signalling the intent of Lexus to make a foray in to GTT3 racing.
Beyond that, Lexus aren’t saying more, but it’s likely the GT3 RC will get a heavily modified version of the V8 in the road car and more extreme styling.
Finally, the RC F Sport will also get its debut at Geneva, an RC with more than a passing resemblance to the RC F but without the extreme power of the V8.
