Photos of the Race-Inspired Lexus RC F GT Caught Testing
We catch the big-winged coupe roaming the streets.
Lexus is preparing to introduce a more track-focused version of the RC F coupe before the end of the decade. Set to be called the RC F Track Edition, the car spotted here is what we believe to be the road-going variant of the RC F GT concept car.
Toyota sales executive Robert Carter said today that it'll be the most powerful Lexus other than the LFA, suggesting that it will have more power from the 5.0-liter V-8 than the standard RC F, which makes 467 hp.
The RC F Track Edition will crib the Japanese-market RC F 10th Anniversary Edition model’s carbon-fiber body panels.
Bigger brakes and a set of lightweight wheels wrapped in ultra-high-performance tires are sure to improve the model’s braking performance and lateral grip relative to the standard RC F.
The Track Edition’s large trunk-mounted wing is expected to also be made of carbon fiber and replace the retractable spoiler of the standard RC F.
If the road-going RC F Track Edition is even half as fun to drive as the RC F GT concept, then it will be an absolute hoot.
The RC F GT concept, you’ll remember, currently holds the third-fastest time we have ever recorded around Virginia International Raceway during our annual Lightning Lap event.
Whereas the concept car included race-car-like features such as a stripped-down interior, a full roll cage, and lightweight polycarbonate windows, the production vehicle will maintain much of the civility of the RC F.
The Track Edition will make its debut at the Detroit auto show in January 2019.
