The Lexus RC F is a perfectly fine V8-powered grand tourer, but it’s never been quite as hardcore as similarly priced models from Germany. That could change when a replacement arrives in the next few years, though, as Lexus is keen to continue the successful sports car racing venture that started in 2016 with the RC F GT3.
Speaking to Motor1.com during the Rolex 24 At Daytona last weekend, Toyota Racing Development President Doug Wilson and Lexus GM Andrew Gilleland explained how making the square peg that is the RC F fit in the round hole of the GT3 class has helped both TRD and Lexus and will benefit the next-generation model.
