Lexus unveiled the RC F, the high performance version of its new RC performance coupe, today at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, the United States.  The RC F's styling highlights the vehicle's optimum high-speed stability.

The Lexus RC F is the most powerful Lexus V8 yet, with engine power exceeding 450 hp and torque exceeding 520 Nm.  To deliver this power efficiently, the RC F will be the world's first front-engine, rear-wheel-drive car to make use of a Torque Vectoring Differential (TVD) for guaranteed levels of extraordinary handling and performance.  Power will be transferred through a newly calibrated eight-speed transmission.
