2015 Lexus RC F concept

Remember the Lexus LFA, well you should, now forget it because Lexus is coming out with a even faster sports car. It might not look quite as extreme but, its the most powerful road going Lexus ever! However it does have an appeal that the LFA did not.

Lets starts with the engine. Its a tweaked version of the 5.0 liter V-8 in the IS F bring the horsepower from 416 to 460. 460 horsepower, dang! It will be mated to a 8-speed automatic gearbox that will send the power to the rear wheels. The RC F shares its chase with the IS sedan so yes they can seat four (2+2) people. The V-6 RC coupes are expected to have all-wheel-drive as an option, which will be awesome.

The exterior looks awesome. It starts strong and powerful and smooths off to a spoiler that deploys at 50 mph. However it does not loose that Lexus fines. To distinguish it from the normal RC it also has a carbon roof. Inside its nothing less then you would expect from Lexus, stylish and awesome.

The RC F is due to be out to the public later this year starting around $65,000 for the RC F and $40,000 for the RC. Im happy about that because it should stay around a lot longer than the LFA.
