Toyota's answer to the BMW M4 has come. A coupé performing higher than a sports car, RC F managed to continue the success of the IS F performance saloon in 2007.
5.0-liter V8 engine will make the car has become one of the high-performance coupé without turbo induction. Power it produces 471 hp, an overhauled version of the IS F with internal weights lighter, a variety of new devices on the intake, exhaust, injection, cooling system and lubrication system. If you see the position of the German rivals, only the highest variant of the Mercedes-AMG C63 latest twin-turbo has more power. RC F on this, power is channeled through an 8-speed automatic transmission.
This is the luxury coupé-made for US $ 90,805 Lexus wildest performance ever, and certainly RC F feels like a car that could prove everything. In fact compared to C63 though, RC F has a harsh ride and the damping of the most stubborn in the price range. Its powertrain does have moments of savagery beautiful, feels responsive and interactive control. Can be concluded, RC F two times better than the IS F but can not compete with competitors from Europe.
While driving around town at low speed, performance damper Sachs was immediately felt by providing feedback on the various types of road surface. This car steering wheel feels weighs convincing and just a slight touch, turning a corner quickly. Stability when cornering feels a little lopsided and symptoms felt in mid-corner understeer, but this effect can be eliminated on the long bend to power a car - during the V8 engine is in a position to provide the necessary power.
This is because the entertainment is really happening when the needle spin machine shows the least number of 5,000 rpm. Below it, the machine gives less power, while above that figure makes this car really fast. Impact, you only have two choices: enjoy a Lexus with a powertrain that is benign in the medium engine rotation, or use Manual mode with driving rely on you completely. There is no option in the middle.
That's the biggest criticisms that you can give to RC F: is never easy to achieve high speeds. When the M4 and the Jaguar F-type V6 S has the frame and powertrain to move quickly and driving away, Lexus insists paused, lowered three ratios and then glide like a missile at each apex.
Lexus has not found the back of dynamic brilliance LFA belongs here. RC F is more like a diamond that needs to be sharpened. Successful RC F prove is the seriousness of the Lexus to prepare himself as a maker of high-performance engine that is reliable. With RC F, Lexus seriousness spread throughout the world, while providing a warning shot that will draw attention to those in Munich, Neckarsulm, Affalterbach and others. MATT SAUNDERS
