The Lexus RC coupe is headed to 2013 Tokyo Auto Show, being held later this month.  It’s based on the new 2014 Lexus IS sedan and is great to look at from any angle.  After the discontinued LFA super car and SC coupe, this RC aims to be the only two door car in the Lexus lineup.  And no, the Lexus RC does not come with a ‘remote control’ option.

There is no official word yet from Lexus on when or whether this new coupe will come to the dealer showrooms in United States.  However, it is needed if Lexus wants to compete against the new BMW 4-series, Audi A5, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe.

We do know that the RC will be available with in RC350 and RC300h models.  The former is the familiar 3.5-liter V6, and the latter is a Hybrid system that uses a 2.5-liter four cylinder and it very similar to the one in the ES300h and Toyota Camry Hybrid.  Stay tuned for more information about the Lexus RC.
