There’s nothing in this Top Gear video which qualifies as breaking news—or really anything we haven’t heard before. What there are? Plenty of good shots of former F1 pilot and two-time 24 Hour of Le Mans winner Alex Wurz hurling the RC F through bends sideways.

This was the RC F Varis brought to the 2015 Tokyo Auto Salon, and from discussion I’ve seen on the forum, it doesn’t sound like many ClubLexus members will be going this route with their rides. Let’s just say less-than-cordial statements were made, and the words “cheap” and “Civic” may have been used.

Lexus hasn’t exactly been hiding the RC F GT3 Concept, and while pictures are always cool, getting to see the RC line’s weapons-grade cousin stretch its legs at Fuji Speedway is an order of magnitude better.

The North American International Auto Show might have been the focus last week, but last week, some videos from the 2015 Tokyo Auto Salon—which is kind of Japan’s SEMA—made it up on to YouTube.

December was more than merry for Lexus. Its venerable RX sold more than 13,500 last month, putting the segment leader at over 100k for the year, and IS model sales were up nearly 50% over 2013.

In this new RC F video, designer Yasuo Kajino discusses the philosophy behind the latest Lexus sports car, and there’s also some great footage of it on the track. Exposed CFRP on the hood and roof? Yes please.

Now, I know we’ve come a long way from the power-robbing slushbox days of yore. And while I realize it’s unlikely to happen, I think it’d be great if there was an old-school stick option on the new-school Lexus.
