Lexus RC F Coupe: OFFICIAL

The Lexus RC F (pictured) revealed ahead of its Detroit debut

The Lexus RC F Coupe has been revealed ahead of its debut at Detroit next week, and it looks very promising. Lexus aren’t being specific about its output, but they do say the RC F is “the most powerful V8 performance road-going car ever developed by Lexus” with over 450bhp.

That makes the RC F more powerful than the BMW M4 or the Audi RS5 which should mean the Lexus will be able to hold its own with the hot coupés from Germany, with a 0-62mph in the low 4 seconds.

As you’d expect, the RC F takes the good looking RC Coupe and adds a splash or two of butch, with bigger wheels and tyres, aerodynamic body kit, aggressive bumpers, a bulging bonnet, active rear wing and revised grill.

Inside, the RC F gets sports seats and a new steering wheel, instruments that automatically adapt to the chosen driving mode, a choice of five leather trims and even gets new L-shaped rubber on the pedals for better grip.

It all looks very appealing, and if Lexus has managed to imbue the RC F with some of the LFA’s DNA – as they insinuate – the RC F could be a cracker.

The Lexus RC F Coupe is expected to go on sale by the end of 2014 and cost under £60,000.
