RC F coupe range gains two high-performance derivatives with thundering 5.0 engines

SUPPLIED

Lexus has launched two versions of this car to take on the likes of the BMW M4 and Ford Mustang in SA’s sports coupe segment: the RC F priced at R1,318,300, and a more track-oriented counterpart called, appropriately enough, the Track Edition which goes for R2,098,200. Both cars are fitted with newly developed Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres and a lightweight hollowed driveshaft connects to a limited-slip differential.

It’s a somewhat different experience than the instant anger of a turbocharged car like the BMW M4, which serves up its 550Nm from just 1,850rpm. The normally aspirated Lexus has more of a linear power progression with a climactic buildup.
