Thus, after the name reserved for the first NX compact SUV the Lexus brand, Toyota here again with the name RC F to identify a sports coupe through template currently in development.
If we add to this that Lexus has confirmed its intention to market a sports coupe in its lineup GS, there is every reason to believe that the name RC F is not purely coincidental.

In all likelihood, it is likely that this cut will inherit the silhouette of the concept LF-CC, unveiled at the Paris Motor Show, last year.
RC F Lexus coupe would be a GT class car that would rub the Audi A5, BMW 6 Series Coupe and Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe.
The Australian division Toyota / Lexus already talking about the upcoming marketing, model RC350 based on the concept LF-CC.

One of the showpieces of the new IS range will probably be without a doubt the IS 300h. The 2.5 liter full hybrid is to convince potential customers with a capacity of just over 200 hp at the same time but rather to the low consumption of four liters.
This consumption value depends very much on the driver-selected driving modes. Here the Lexus driver is spoiled for choice of four options: (The latter is only when it IS 300h) Eco, Normal, Sport and Sport S. Depending on the mode then changes the display of the speedometer.

This luxurious,elegance and stylish sedan variant from Lexus is unveiled at the New York Auto Show 2011, This Lexus sedan is known as LF-Ghvariant. This hybrid sedan version is a result of combination between eco friendly powertrain and premium features. The design character of thisLF-Gh sedan will be implemented on the future versions. The sedan has L-finess design character which was developed since 2011. This design of this Lexus LF-Fh variant is expected as futuristic car model. Based on the Japanese car designer, several“original ideas included in the new concept may migrate to future Lexus production models.”
Lexus LF-Gh concept is designed in 4,890 mm of length, 1,870 mm of widht and 1,450 of height. The weelbase of this luxury sedan is 2,850 mm. Among the hybrid technologies which are implemented on this car variant are the badges which situated on the front grille as well as the trunk lid and also Blue LED L-shaped daytime running lights.
The Lexus LF-Gh Concept makes its global debut at the 2011 New York International Auto Show. "For this concept, Lexus designers studied characteristics that are often considered contradictory and difficult to execute together," said Kengo Matsumoto, general manager, Lexus Design Division, Toyota Motor Corporation. "The captivating design of the Lexus LF-Gh concept examines the possibility of balancing what are normally opposing qualities, such as style and functionality."
Working with a clean sheet of paper, Lexus Design Division designers aimed to perfectly blend style, performance, efficiency, and environmental compatibility in a premium, grand touring sedan while trying to leverage advanced, new technologies.
The team explored how a future grand touring sedan would look standing still and on the road, and what design approaches might work to convey an extraordinary combination of attributes. They came up with a design that unites hard and soft; and energetic and soothing elements.
Through this exercise, the definition of L-Finesse, the marque's design philosophy since 2001, has been refined and evolved to include a bolder, more distinct projection of what a premium car could become in a modern world. The result is the Lexus LF-Gh concept, which conveys original thoughts and ideas that will migrate to future Lexus vehicles on a global scale.
"Customers have been waiting for a bold concept like this from Lexus," said Mark Templin, Lexus Division group vice president and general manager. "We look forward to their feedback and integrating some of these exciting design features into future Lexus vehicles."
In The Grand Touring Tradition
With the LF-Gh, Lexus takes the idea of the grand touring sedan one step further. The LF-Gh was designed to be a high-performance concept capable of providing a moving driving experience, and comfortably transporting multiple occupants at higher speeds on long-distance drives. It combines a strong sense of presence and emotional appeal with functional attributes, supplying enhanced creature comforts plus the practical ability to transport personal supplies and luggage necessary for extended travel. Even while maintaining serene passenger comfort, it is a car designed to inspire and captivate the driver as hours behind the wheel accumulate.
The bold, wide stance is consistent with the goal of inspiring dynamic excellence on the road. Fundamentally, these are the proportions of an agile, responsive sedan built on an advanced rear-wheel-drive platform. The distinctive long greenhouse design provides the potential for functional passenger benefits, such as generous interior room for all four passengers, ample cargo area, and excellent forward visibility.
LED lighting hints at the range and scope of new materials, electronics and dynamic systems that endow this concept vehicle with state-of-the-art performance, driving control, and safety features. Overall, the Lexus LF-Gh's styling embodies the definition of what an authentic grand touring sedan from Lexus could be.
Dramatic and Bold, Yet Light and Agile
This newest Lexus concept brings together unique, dynamic proportions that lend to its advanced and aggressive stance. The Lexus LF-Gh Concept is based on an architecture that enables a spirited, energetic and elegant car with an uncommonly assertive presence.
Viewed from the front, design elements contributing to the assertive effect include a boldly designed spindle-shaped grille that expresses the resolute face of Lexus, contributes to radiator and brake duct function, and is an essential element in achieving excellent aerodynamic performance. Every line in the Lexus LF-Gh combines form and function.
As an example, air flows in through front inlets adjacent to the unique vertical LED fog lamps, and exits through similar slim rear outlets that follow the curve of the tail lamps from the rear quarter panel. The concept also explores the minimization of traditional features such as side mirrors and door handles to enhance the sleekness and improve aerodynamics.
The spindle-shaped grille, a powerful design element that contributes to the commanding presence of the Lexus LF-Gh Concept, also plays a role in airflow control and enhancing stability. It's a key feature that integrates distinctive style with engineering functionality without sacrifice in either discipline, and will be inherited by future Lexus models.
An athletic and strong stance is achieved through the contrast of the tapered torso and long cabin, with width-enhancing front and rear wheel arches. The form of the lower body begins from the short front overhang, and is cross cut in the middle of the rocker panel leaving the rear overhang looking light and agile.
Dynamic front fenders work to create a sense of movement, pushing down toward the ground to convey a low, crouching center of gravity. The raised hood implies ready and powerful performance potential. The rear deck has a robust, raised center deck lid that lets the air smoothly glide backward to flow gracefully into the rear fenders. Deeply sculptured dynamic twin spokes stemming from the center of the 20-inch wheels enhance an instinctive sense of driving appeal.
Lexus designers took advantage of increased width that provides an expansive canvas for distinct, wrap-around LED tail lamps. The use of distinctive tail lamps and intricately designed reflectors behind all-red lenses contribute to a strong visual presence. Judicious use of slim chrome trim elements in the bumper exhaust and integrated diffuser adds a subtle premium touch.
Unique LED headlamps and independent L-shaped LED daytime running lights assure that the Lexus face will be like no other car on the road.
A Gracious Interior
Behind dark tinted glass, hints of an all-new, future Lexus interior can be perceived. The cabin of the Lexus LF-Gh Concept is the product of a meticulous re-examination of every detail, with the aim of making an interior that is driver-oriented.
The driver's zone includes a meter panel with excellent visibility and a console with intuitive operability. An all-new analog clock with a three-dimensional face, a contemporary and exclusive timepiece suitable to a premium luxury brand, is a focal point of the interior and represents a shift in Lexus' design philosophy.
Use of genuine, high-quality materials and rich, finely honed details help create a driver and passenger space consistent with the idea of a full-fledged grand touring sedan. It is an interior designed to respond to the needs of customers who know true quality, and are particular about details.
Hybrid Propulsion
Blue LED Lexus Hybrid Drive badges located on the front grille and rear trunk lid signal an intention to provide equal measures of fuel efficiency and performance on demand. The rear valance blends sculpted exhaust tips for a very clean, finished look, minimizing the presence of the exhaust system to suggest that the flow of exhaust gas will be substantially reduced. Taken as a whole, the treatment emphasizes that this hybrid concept is designed to comply with the exceptionally low emissions requirements of the future.
The Lexus LF-Gh design supports engineering that changes current notions of power, efficiency, safety, and environmental consideration in a premium luxury car.
"Although only a concept, we hope the LF-Gh will resonate with our customers worldwide, and communicate our intention to once again advance ideas about the face of Lexus luxury in the years to come," said Matsumoto.
Lexus LF-A Concept was unveiled at the Detroit Motor Show which was held in 2005. This sporty front-engine two-seater coupe symbolizes new design character. This sporty Lexus LF-A Concept is equipped with V10 engine that produces above 500 horsepower with less than 5 liters of fuel. The top speed of this coupe variant can raise 200 miles per hour. The interior design of this Lexus coupe is completed with high technology instruments, the seats design is covered in white color makes the interior looks clean indeed. Here is a report from the official press release:
The two-seat concept blends the performance of an exotic sports car with the luxury refinements of a Lexus.
It is powered by a V10 engine capable of developing more than 500 horsepower from a displacement of less than five liters. The extimated top speed is about 200 miles per hour.
Designed to express a bold new direction in styling for the Lexus brand, the LF-A concept is a vision closely aligned with the company’s Formula One commitment.
“The Lexus LF-A is like no sports car we have ever builtóor even imagined,” said Jim Press, Toyota Motor Sales executive vice president and COO.
“Currently only a concept, it is a realistic vision of how we might address the boundaries that define the exotic sports car landscape.”
“The LF-A is theoretically developed to run a parallel course to our company’s efforts in Formula One racing,” added Press. “It would probably feature a powertrain and drivetrain configuration strongly influenced by whatever is being used in competition at the time.”
Inside, the LF-A is designed as a luxury high-speed capsule that blends extravagant comfort with precision operation. Although it is about five inches shorter in length than the Porsche 911 Turbo, its wheelbase is nine inches longer.
At 48 inches, it is nearly identical in height to the Ferrari F430. And with a width of 73.2 inches, it splits the difference between the Mercedes Benz SL55 and the Aston Martin DB9.
While the LF-A makes a major statement in how Lexus would define exotic sports car performance, it was conceived to express the emergence of a new direction in styling for the Lexus brand, globally.
“Over the last two years, a new styling philosophy that we call L-Finesse, has taken shape at Lexus Design,” said Wahei Hirai, Toyota Motor Corporation’s global managing officer of design.
“What has emerged from this two-year journey is not just a new direction in philosophy. It is a new design language, based on the dynamism and inherent contrast between simplicity and elegance.”
Simplicity, in form and function, reflects styling that is uncluttered and void of extraneous elements. Elegance, inside and out, avoids exaggeration by prioritizing understated luxury that is intriguing, subtle and seamlessóand slightly surprising. The key to the formula is how the visual contrast between simplicity and elegance creates a look that is dynamic, forceful and vigorous.
The LF-A is a fundamental shift in both style and design for Lexus. The positioning and sizing of major components have been redefined and condensed. By taking an entirely different approach to proportion and packaging, designers have achieved the ultimate weight balance, so vital to high-speed handling and stability. As a total package, the Lexus LF-A concept is a bold statement and a clear indication of the path that Lexus’ global design will follow in the near future
After a great success at the Nürburgring 24 Hours race, the Lexus has launched Nürburgring Package for its brand new Lexus LFA. This package includes of several wide varieties of aerodynamic features, revisions to the V10 4.8-liter engine and suspension adjustments which provide the vehicle a track-focused profile and better performance. This package was displayed at the Geneva motor show for the first time to the public. The performance option is available on only 50 of the 500 vehicles which would be produced. These versions will be produced during the 2012, the second entire year of the LFA production.
RC F Lexus coupe would be a GT class car that would rub the Audi A5, BMW 6 Series Coupe and Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe.
This highly anticipated cut would be unveiled in 2013 and delivered in 2014.
