Lexus RC-F Coupe And RX SUV Spotted In India Ahead Of Launch

Lexus RC-F

Now, ahead of the launch, Lexus has commenced importing its models in the country and the upcoming luxury cars were spotted at what seems to be a stockyard. The models in question include the RX 450h as well as the drool worthy RC-F coupe.

The Lexus RX 450h locks horns with the Audi Q5, Mercedes GLC and the likes

Starting with the latter, the Lexus RC-F is the automaker's top-of-the-line performance coupe and is crackling of a model. Power comes from a 5.0-litre V8 VVT-i petrol engine tuned to produce 460bhp of power and 527Nm of torque available at 4800rm. The RC-F will be appreciated by those who prefer power being sent just to the rear wheels and helping it do the same is an 8-speed Sport Direct-Shift transmission.

The RX 450h will get a hybrid powertrain in India

With no dearth in power, the Lexus RC-F is capable of doing the 0-100 km/h run in 4.4 seconds and can hit a top speed of 270 km/h. With promising figures and unique styling, the Lexus stands out while competing against the likes of the Jaguar F-Type, BMW M4, Audi RS5 among others in the segment.

Lexus is expected to commence operations early next year

The Lexus RX 450h, on the other hand, is a Mercedes-Benz GLC, BMW X3 rival and will be available in the hybrid version. A sharp looking SUV with the trademark Lexus grille, the RX 450h is powered by a 3.5-litre V6 VVT-i petrol engine that comes paired to an electric motor and belts out a combined output of 304bhp. Later in the timeline, the RX 450h could get the standard and F-sport variants.
