For the second time in consecutive days, our spy
shooters managed to catch this Lexus performance coupe out and about.
There is a little confusion as to whether this is a production version
of the RC F
Regardless
of its name, it is very clear by the images that Lexus test drivers
were pushing this coupe hard, which is evident by the amount of body
lean the sporty coupe shows in the corner. There are no new details
reveled in these new spy shots, but they are confirmation that the model
is nearing production and is undergoing some intense training.
The powerplant driving the IS F is still a relative mystery, but rumors are pointing toward the deletion of the 5.0-liter V-8.
The likely replacement would be a twin-turbocharged V-6 engine with
power reaching nearly 450 horsepower. This would put it right in line
with its key competitor: the BMW M4.
Whether its named the RC F or IS F Coupe is up for argument, but what’s not up for debate is just how bad-ass this new coupe will be...

As the coupe entered the apex of the turn at
NĪrburgring, it leaned heavily to the right, a sign that the driver was
pushing the car to its breaking point. You also get a clear look at the
front end from this angle and we see the massive air intakes on the
outer edges of the bumper and the staple spindle grille
