Awesome Lexus

Lexus will offer its sporty IS sedan with a 241hp, 2.0L turbo-4 engine that beats out the current 2.5L V6 by 37hp and 73 lb-ft. of torque. With a rear-wheel drivetrain and improved brakes, the new model should be a blast to drive.

Lexus RC: Play Time

Lexus RC: Play Time

To sell us on their powerful new RC coupe, Lexus has decided to entertain us with some daft RC drifting. But in this case, we mean R/C, as in a 1/10th scale remote-controlled car, driven with precision by R/C drift expert Drift44.

2016 Lexus GS F

The Lexus GS F takes the same awesome 5.0-liter naturally-aspirated V8 found in the Lexus RC F, bestowing the spacious and luxurious GS sedan with 467 horses, and a torque-vectoring differential for impeccable cornering.

2015 Lexus RC F Liquid Platinum

The new Lexus RC F sports coupe looks especially striking in this metallic platinum finish, along with body-hugging sport seats in circuit red leather and carbon fiber trim. Of course, the 467hp 5.0L V8 burbling beneath the hood doesn’t hurt either.

Lexus LF-C2 Concept

Lexus LF-C2 Concept

The Lexus LF-C2 Concept is a luxury 2+2 roadster. Its mix of curves and sharp lines and edges is no doubt polarizing but will be familiar to Lexus fans. The car’s leather interior is lit by its LEDs and touchscreen monitors.

2015 Lexus RC Coupe

2015 Lexus RC Coupe

The RC takes much of what we liked about the 2014 IS series and packs it into a dynamic and sporty 2-door coupe. Available as the RC 350 with a 3.5L V6 and the RC 300h, a hybrid with a 2.5L 4. We’re hoping for an F-Sport edition too.

2014 Lexus IS 350 C F Sport

The cabriolet hasn’t had the visual overhaul of its sedan brethren, but it has the advantage that it can drop its hardshell top in warmer climes. Powered by 3.5L 306hp V6, it hits 60 in a respectable 5.8 secs, and gets 27mpg (hwy).

Lexus Drift Roulette

2014 Lexus IS Series

2014 Lexus IS Series

We already saw the IS 350 F-Sport and now we’ve driven the entire 2014 IS lineup on the track. The changes aren’t just external. Both IS 250 and 350 handle more aggressively than past models. We like the 3.5L RWD models best.
