Lexus reveals the stunning RC F on the internet - ahead of official debut

Lexus RC F redefines the daily commute with asphalt grinding performance and bold head-turning design - and is all set to blaze the Detroit Auto Show.

Ducts beneath the front bumper, fenders, and strategically placed aerodynamic stabilising fins create a stance to further identify the F model (left) from its tamer sibling (right)

The Lexus spindle grille, now a hallmark trait for Lexus' models, features a more subtle 'F' pattern on the lower half, while not failing to dominate the front fascia of the RC F.

The hood is higher than on the RC coupe to accommodate the larger V8 engine and create a powerful flared profile.

Air outlets behind the front fender form the shape of an 'L' when they merge with side sill extensions, while stacked trapezoidal quad tailpipes at the rear add further aggression.

Three variations of 10-spoke, 19-inch, forged aluminum wheels are available, including a design which is hand polished by a craftsmen. Like the LFA supercar, the RC F features an available speed sensitive active rear spoiler which deploys at around 80km/h and retracts when speeds hit less than 40km/h.

The interior complements the aggressive exterior, as the instrument panel is dominated by a central meter, which changes according to the four selectable driving modes. The information, colour and text size of the display can also be altered.

With the RC F, Lexus will debut an, elliptical cross-section thick grip, steering wheel with optimum placement of paddle gear shifts. All new high back seats with an embossed F on the headrests offer the occupants an exceptional performance fit. The seats are available in five leather trims with contrasting stitching.

According to Lexus, the new L-shaped rubber slits in the brake and accelerator pedals better foot grip. The formal launch of the RC F will be held at a press conference at the 2014 North American International Motor Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, U.S.A, next week.

With the all new Lexus RC F, Lexus believes a motorist's daily commute is now transformed into a day at the track. Styled to support the most powerful V8 performance car ever developed by the premium Japanese marque, it is based off the recently unveiled RC Coupe, albeit with wider wheels and tyres, an active rear wing, air scoops, cooling ducts and carbon fibre components.
