The Lexus RC F has coped a lot of flack from the media since its debut. Maybe they were just looking at it from the wrong angle (figuratively speaking)? Surely Lexus has the experience and the technology to build a highly capable and hugely desirable sports car? Just one look at this thing will certainly fulfill the latter expectation for most people.

This is the company's highest performance vehicle currently on the market. It's not a successor to the insane V10 LFA and nor is it a successor to our old friend the Lexus IS F. No, instead this is a bespoke model based on the RC, which itself is a unique model in the current showroom.

Although you can think of it as a two-door coupe version of the IS sedan, it's actually a very different vehicle that uses a different platform. Lexus suggests we look at it as having the front end of the GS sedan, the torso of the previous IS 250C convertible for chassis rigidity, and the rear end of the IS sedan.
