About a year ago, the only real performance offerings from Lexus were the IS-F, the LFA, and the F-Sport line. There was no hint of the RC coupe and the idea of an RC-F was pure fantasy. There were just these two.

You may not know it, but Yukihiko Yaguchi is kind of a big deal. He’s the one responsible for making sure the engine and transmission of the last generation IS-F was capable of performing on and off the race track.

Last weekend kicked off the start of racing season in the USA with the 24 Hours of Daytona. Unfortunately for us, Lexus isn’t fielding a car in the United Sportscar Championship. That sucks, because the RC-F looks might fine when dressed up in racing gear.

Scrounged this one up off Reddit earlier today and it got me thinking: How weird would it be to drive around in a golden Lexus all day? Someone, somewhere, is having fun in this car.

The guys over at Lexus must never sleep. The brand new NX is supposed to be making it’s live debut soon, and already there are spy shots floating around of some new Lexus product from Japan.

Lexus has been in desperate need of a weapons grade coupe for a long time. Finally, Lexus fans have their answer in the form of this curvaceous, azure slice of sheet metal.

Remember this thing? This IS-F probably has the biggest engine of any IS-F in history. Now, they’ve finally gotten it dialed in. Find out what kind of damage it does on the quarter mile inside.
