Lexus RC (AVC10/GSC10). 2014 to date (prod. n/a). 2-door coupé. F/R, 2494 cm³ petrol–electric hybrid (I4 DOHC), 3456 cm³ (V6 DOHC), 4969 cm³ (V8 DOHC). Coupé version of IS but with a GS front end, rivalling the Audi A5 (8T) and BMW 4er-Reihe (F32). Plenty of power, but moderately quick in V6 guise. Easy to drive with excellent handling, while F Sport dialled up the power, but none were as engaging as some of their rivals.
