Coupe de grace

NOT many people enjoy driving long distances on the highway. But then, not many people have a nice car for a four-hour schlep up north. And one of the nicest for any journey across the highway is the Lexus RC350 F Sport. This Lexus coupe has four seats and luxurious cabin that promises to gobble the miles in comfort.

The RC350 F Sport is a sportier version of the RC350 costing S$10,000 more. Both have a naturally aspirated 3.5-litre V6 engine under the bonnet to drive the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission.

But the F Sport gets a snazzier trim, such as an F Sport steering wheel and a cool instrument panel inspired by the Lexus LFA supercar, where a ring for the single meter will slide to the right over the virtual display to reveal more menus with extra driver information.
