  • Updated: February 2021 the LEXUS RC F
    Updated: February 2021 THE LEXUS RC F INTRODUCTION “There’s a perception that many high-performance cars are hard to drive. In fact, they’re easy in the right hands because they’ve been purpose-built for the skill level of their drivers. It’s the same with the RC F, which I have built to be enjoyed by all enthusiasts, no matter what their level of expertise. Electronics can be modified instantly on board to provide performance and protection appropriate to each driver’s abilities. But even in its basic settings, it’s a blast.” Yukihiko Yaguchi, Lexus RC F Chief Engineer The RC F is one of the most powerful, versatile and responsive cars Lexus has created. It is designed to be enjoyed by all driving enthusiasts, no matter what their level of expertise. At its heart is a 5.0-litre V8 engine, producing 457bhp and 520Nm of torque. The RC F’s striking design is derived from the show-stopping LF-LC and LF-CC concepts Lexus revealed in 2013. The coupe follows the IS F as Lexus’s second generation V8 F model and benefits from the best in tuning and technology from the LFA V10 supercar. The F designation stands for Fuji Speedway, the international race circuit where Lexus carries out much of its high-speed development work. F models are the sporting pinnacle of the brand, bringing together intoxicating performance and pure driving pleasure and adding depth to the entire model range. In everyday road driving the coupe delivers superb performance and high-speed stability, together with superior levels of comfort, equipment and safety technology.

  • Lexus Is 250 Manual Transmission
    Lexus is 250 manual transmission Continue If you knew about any of them, your car knowledge is strong! We all know that the manual gearbox is dying out on the main cars. There are several cars on the market that offer a guide as an option, and even fewer that don't come with the option of self-switching gear. Most manual gearboxes are reserved for sports and expensive models, but they can often be found at the other end of the spectrum on the most basic models. We made a list of five cars that offered a manual transmission that no one knew about. Maybe that's why no one ordered them, or maybe they just aren't very good. The Porsche Mechanical Gearbox is extremely important for Porsche models such as the 911 and 718, but not as much for an SUV as the Cayenne. Few buyers of family SUVs, such as the Cayenne, care about having a guide, but that hasn't stopped Porsche from offering it. The manual version was only available on the Cayenne base with a 3.6-liter V6 that produced 300 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. The manual model can hit 60 mfin 7.5 seconds, 0.5 seconds faster than the eight-car Tiptronic. Unfortunately, the Turbo never had a manual version, but the original Cayenne GTS had the option of a six-speed manual transmission with a 405-hp V8. The Lexus Lexus IS has always been a competitor to the BMW 3 Series, which has never received the same attention as German competitors like the Audi A4 and Mercedes C-Class.
