Lexus Announces RC F to Debut at Detroit Auto Show

Posted by Kevin on December 9th, 2013

Lexus today confirmed that the F performance model will be making its debut at the Detroit Autoshow in January — here’s the full high-resolution teaser image:

Lexus F

Not much can been seen in the photo other than the Michelin Pilot Super Sports and the large fender side vent, but this is clearly a F version of the RC coupe that debuted in Tokyo last month.

Not a bad time to recall the RC F prototypes speeding around Nürburgring earlier this year:

Here’s the full press release:

Designed from the asphalt up, to strike at the heart, the newest Lexus F model will debut at the January 2014 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

Engineered from scratch, one performance layer at a time, the newest F model promises a bold, gritty, experience synonymous with the famed Lexus F heritage.

The Lexus press conference will be shown live online at www.lexus-int.com/. Follow the hashtag #AsphaltUp for more developments.

    Gives them a way to have something fresh at majority of the upcoming auto shows. Gets people/media to their floor. Why the RC (Japan), CT(LA), RC-F(Detroit), NX(Geneva), RC F-Sport (Chicago??), etc so spread out. I will be there in Detroit so I look forward to this.

    That may be the very vehicle that is quoted to use a TTV6, as against the RC-F. The Lexus personnel who were interviewed, cleverly referred to the "IS-F successor", and not the RC-F itself. It's better to have the IS-F to have less output than the RC-F, so the GS-F can take the higher position.

Finally, Lexus is putting some great sticky tires on a Lexus. They deprived Lexus LFA of some great sticky tires, but looks like they would not do that to the RC-F.

I'm hearing it gets 480 PS. Almost 60 PS more than IS-F. By the way, M3/M4 will be revealed on 12 December. Of topic, Lamborghini will also reveal its Gallardo successor before Chistmas, and Toyota should have a Supra Concept at Detroit. Exciting times ahead. The Toyota GT86 has been a blessing for all.

Santa, I've been a very good husband. I love my GS Fsport but I also want a red RC F with flaxen interior or even red.

This got me thinking - how do we know that this is really RC-F and not GS-F? I know that design is more RC like, but what if GS-F has changed design a little, too? http://lexusenthusiast.com/2013/09/02/lexus-gs-f-prototype-spotted-in-japan/
