As you may remember, there was a car called the IS-F. It came from a boring brand called Lexus who many people criticised for being expensive Toyotas. They weren't very good and weren't made particularly well. Nobody really cared about any new models they brought out. Until the IS-F. It was based on the boring IS saloon but was made to rival the BMW M3. And it blew it into the dirt. But still people didn't buy it as the brand image remained. But people remembered. So now there is a successor. The RC-F. And it looks like a cross between the super LFA and the blistering IS-F. It once again tries to take the fight to the German super saloons but this time hopes to increase sales as well. It definitely matches the price of its German counterparts, at £59,995. As well as its space age looks, it boasts a 5.0 litre V8 producing 471BHP and 0-62 in 4.5 seconds, which definitely isn't slow. It features a lot of driver aids and has the purpose of being "driver-friendly", and, using normal Lexus knowledge, manages 28.2 MPG from its big V8 and hefty 1,765KG weight, which is quite impressive in my opinion. But it won't match the new BMW M4. But it may still achieve more sales than the IS-F. It deserves them.
