It Takes A Bit More Than Just A Peek To Decipher The Rc F Coupe, And There’s A Very Good Reason For That.
I’m simply going to cut right to it — the RC F’s most endearing trait, no matter which way you look at it, is that stupendous NA V8 powering it. At one point, before I’d driven it, of course, I was thinking about how I’d go on to write this piece about a fairly rare Lexus here in India, and the moment I saw it in the flesh, I knew I had to put in a sizeable amount of words about the way this thing looks.
And there’s absolutely no denying that it’s pretty unique-looking, is there? There isn’t. I mean, sure, if you’ve been keeping up with Lexus launches in In dia, you’d see that there are derivatives of the rest of the lineup littered along the car. The sharp lines, the oddball headlamps, the way the rear looks minuscule and muscular at the same time… it’s all very Lexus. But to an innocent bystander whose only exposure to anything exotic on wheels is a bright red Ferrari belonging to the Indian elite, the Lexus confuses as much as it intrigues, and I mean this in the best possible sense. There’s no mucking about. It looks very good, especially with that blacked-out bonnet and bright orange; it’s fun to see people’s reactions to the RC F range from dismissal to curiosity to intrigue and finally awe.
