F and furious

NOT all high-performance models can thrill a pro driver and yet be easily driven by your mother. But the Lexus RC F certainly comes close.

The RC F is a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports coupe with sensuously aggressive styling. But what it really stands out for is its five-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine.

In an era where the V8 has been downsized and supplemented with forced induction, the RC F is dedicated to the smooth and linear delivery of torque without any turbo lag.
