Road, track and…ice? Lexus breathes new life into its quirky RC F but the glorious V8 stays.
ETA: mid-year
Headlining Lexus’ facelifted RC F is a limited-production Track Edition model featuring a stiffened suspension setup, 19-inch BBS rims hiding ceramic Brembo brakes, a titanium exhaust system and a naturally aspirated 5,0-litre V8 tuned to send 352 kW and 535 N.m aft via an eight-speed auto ‘box. Lexus remains tight-lipped regarding performance, only stating that the 0-96 km/h sprint takes less than four seconds.
CARBON-FIBRE CRAZY
The Track Edition bristles with carbon-fibre components (body kit, rear spoiler, roof and bonnet) contributing to an 82 kg mass saving over the standard RC F.
