2015 LEXUS RC F: Perfect for your driveway if you're the Earl of March

摘要

Things have changed a little bit at Lexus since 1989. Lexus is reinventing itself, and it's going to do it with coupes, not sedans. When the 2015 Lexus RC F broke cover for the first time outside of an auto show, it did so at the annual Goodwood Festival of Speed, where some of the coolest cars on the planet burn rubber as they climb the Earl of March's glorified 1.2-mile driveway. It's even on YouTube. This is Lexus as interpreted by Toyota's relatively new chairman, Akio Toyoda. As a guy who has raced at the Nurburgring 24 Hours, he thinks the road back to greatness for Lexus lies in the winding curves of some racetrack, not valet parking at a restaurant. Just as important, Europe is the center of the action, because Lexus wants to become a worldwide brand instead of simply an American one.
