A three-minute development video has emerged of the new and upcoming Lexus RCF Coupe.
When the BMW M4 Coupe was revealed, Japanese luxury and performance arm of Toyota had to think quickly in order to create something spectacular. Now the clock is ticking, and we're yet to hear about the upcoming Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe and Audi RS5. So, what does Lexus have in its stable to go head to head with its German rivals? The new Lexus RCF Coupe.
It seems Lexus is so proud of the new RCF Coupe that they've also just released a three-minute-video video which showcases how much extensive development work which went into creating the Lexus RCF. The video details what lengths the company had to go through in order to get the Lexus RCF Coupe just right. This included taking it to race tracks like the Fuji Speedway and Nurburgring-Nordschleife.
Under the hood, the Lexus RCF Coupe gets its power from a new 5.0-liter 32-valve V8 engine which produces a staggering 450 horsepower and well over 383 lb-ft torque. This engine is the most powerful V8 engine Lexus has ever made. They even say the whole car will weigh less than 1,800 kilograms. The Lexus RCF Coupe also has a top speed of 155 mph.

Does the RCF really compete with the C63 AMG or RS5? I thought it competed more with the F-Type, M4, AMG GT, and the like as a pretty 2-door high powered coupe, not as a sedan-based car turned up to 11.

I bet it's comparable in price to the M4.

Less than 1800 kg? So they'll manage to have a performance coupe under 4000 lbs? Tell me that's a typo and it's really 1500 kg.

So... they're boasting that their M4-fighter weighs less that 4000 lbs??? Ridiculous.
