Last year, at the Paris motor Show, presented by Lexus, the LF-CC-study model. We are now more than a year, and the last conceptrandjes there. Introducing the Lexus RC.
Almost the entire front of the RC is seized by the spindle-grille-monstrositeit, which is at the bottom of the entire bumper has eaten. It is a designdingetje that well once a characteristic stamp on your models, press. Where Peugeot left off with the draw of big mouths, Lexus further. You have to love it.
In the scarce remaining space discern that we have a set of razor sharp headlights with below, a kind of Nike logos in LED-jes (Lexus calls it is itself L-shaped lights). Also on the back there is with the governor to significantly cut into the lampunits, and we can see the LEDS underneath a piece continue through the same boot in. A design element that we weren’t familiar with.
The rear bumper is large, angular, with stacked horizontal grids, and almost LFA-like. The pronounced spoilerkontje runs in one line from the hips, and ‘leaning’ as it were, on the taillights. Lexus has wisely made it a lot flatter than the more vertical same boot on the concept.
The RC measures 4.695 x 1.840 x 1.395 mm, and has a wheelbase of 2.730 mm. On the press photos, he stands on the 10-spoke 19-inch wheels, but it seems you also gave him vijfspaaks 18-inchers to be able to get.
More information will follow at a later moment, than is also known with which powertrain, the Lexus RC be available in Europe. We are gambling in the Netherlands on a RC 300h, which as a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine combined with a hybrid powertrain delivers CO2 emissions of somewhere at the bottom of the 100 grams/km-level. Until the RC F, there is, of course.
Lexus presents the RC at the Tokyo Motor Show, where he is accompanied by the already well-known LF-NX. Just it became known that this a 2-litre turbo-petrol engine under the hood. As expected.
