^Meh...still the same 5.0 NA V8. Can they not make new engines?

Claims to be love and is passionate about cars. Creates cars like the Prius and Corolla and the rest of the Toyota/Lexus lineup. And self driving cars?

what's with the streaks down the lights...looks like it's crying

BMW/Toyota should waste no time and just show us a production version of this...that road presence though

Can't express how satisfied I am that for once in a blue moon someone basically stuck with the exact same concept to production.

They have a 5.0 NA V8 in the RC F and GS F.

There is absolutely no reason to have the same engine, same power output in 3 different models.

Should there not be a little diversity in their engine lineup?

Maybe? Either way I'm not complaining about a manufacturer using a big N/A V8 in a lot of their cars. Especially a manufacturer like Toyota/Lexus who has had a reputation of pumping out boring Camry-like vehicles.

wow never make a thread at 5am i guess was sure there would be a thread on it but i couldnt find it at the time


I guess the leaked roadmap is looking more and more likely with the release of this... though i cant recall what they plan for the LC-F, should be sweet and new since this has the RCF engine

i love that interior too! surprised they've allowed a coloured interior to happen with a red car, seems like it's been 'nothing but black' for years, i wonder if that'll be true for when this finally hits the lots next year

love this pic

Still on the fence about Lexus' signature grill. But the new interiors are gorgeous. Loving the rest of the car!

I think it looks awesome. NA is great as well.

Wonder if the facelift model will use a mountain bike transmission so we can get a 26 speed.
