Lexus brings us an official preview of its RC coupe ahead of its debut at the Tokyo Motor Show later this month. And if you don’t look at the face of the RC it’s not a bad looking car. But you do look at the face, don’t you. You can’t help it.
Lexus says the front-end of the RC is the “most aggressive use yet of the iconic spindle grille.” Well that grille is iconic, in much the same way as the SsangYong Stavic was iconic; for all the wrong reasons.
Inspired by the LF-LC Concept the RC has taken a mostly sensible path from concept to production model. The dramatic shoulder line is its best aspect, based on this handful of photos anyway.
The RC350 will be powered by a 3.5 litre V6 engine and will be joined by a 2.5 litre engine at the heart of the RC 300h hybrid. Full details to be revealed in Tokyo.
