?Wild-styled Lexus coupe attracts all the wrong kinds of attention - CNET
To be fair, the bright Molten Pearl Orange 2015 Lexus RC 350 F Sport coupe is an ostentatious ride. It's difficult not to look like you're trying too hard in a massive orange sports coupe. it's as if they took the orange paint, the gaping spindle grill, and the large L badge as personal challenges to their throne behind the wheel of the ultimate driving machine and felt obligated to knock me down a peg or two by launching away from... Though the ostentatious aesthetic will attract those looking for a 4-series fighter, the RC's softer edged performance is more akin to that of the more laid-back Benz C-Class Coupe. Powerful, but a bit soft-edged Under the sculpted hood, the RC is powered by a 3. 5 liter V-6 engine that builds a naturally aspirated 305 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque. Mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission (the only option available for the RC) the powertrain feels like a good fit for this sporty, but large coupe. The driver is given access to sport- and manual-shift programs for the gearbox and Sport S, Sport S+, Eco and Normal drive mode programs for the engine. Power reaches the road via the rear wheels, but an optional all-wheel drive system is available for both the standard RC and RC F Sport. Source: www.cnet.com
