Feast your eyes, ladies and gentlemen, on the new
Lexus RC coupe. With the exception of the six-figure
LFA supercar, it's the first stand-alone two-door model to come from Toyota's premium brand since the demise of the
SC, and it's coming to the
Tokyo Motor Show later this month.
With unmistakably Japanese styling, the Lexus RC is clearly inspired by the
LF-CC and
LF-LC concepts, and features the brand's signature spindle grille. Anyone who's been inside a contemporary
Lexus should feel right at home inside the four-seat cabin, where the Japanese automaker has fitted ambient lighting that glows upwards instead of down, coupled with a new Remote Touch Interface.
Lexus has already announced two versions of the coupe: the conventional RC350 with a 3.5-liter gasoline engine and the RC300h with a 2.5-liter hybrid setup. It's all packed into a form that, for comparison's sake, is slightly larger than the new
BMW 4 Series but markedly smaller (in every dimension but height) than a
6 Series.

press release below for a closer look.
