Speaking of Lexus RC, I believe that everyone should be familiar with it, as an entry-level sports car under Lexus, it is the favorite of your "JDM". However, in terms of performance, it has not been the advantage of the Lexus RC, Lexus only equipped with a 2.0T inline four-cylinder engine, and the maximum horsepower is only 245Ps, which is in contrast to its strong combat appearance.

However, in order to highlight the sporty sense of the next generation of RC, David Wilson, president of Toyota's racing development department (TRD), and Andrew Gilleland, vice president of Lexus North America, told the media on different occasions that the next-generation Lexus RC and RC F will be jointly developed with the Toyota concept car GR GT3, and the new car will adopt the same design as the GR GT3 in many places, making it more outstanding in aerodynamics and performance.
Prior to this, the Toyota GR GT3 has been officially unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show, and once unveiled, its exaggerated exterior design has attracted the attention of many people. On the GR GT3, Toyota is equipped with a rather exaggerated aerodynamic kit, according to Toyota's official statement, this design can effectively reduce the air resistance of the GR GT3, thereby improving the acceleration performance. Its aerodynamic kit includes a prominent front shovel, oversized air intakes on the hood, oversized deflectors, and front and side skirts.
Prior to this, Lexus had used the RC F GT3 to compete in the North American IMSA (International Motorsport Association) GT3 category, but because the car was modified by Lexus in 2014 based on the current RC F, the performance in this event was not outstanding, and Lexus officials were not satisfied with this result.
Write at the end:
According to Toyota's current planning, the prototype of Toyota's new GR GT3 concept car may be officially unveiled at the end of this year, and it will be equipped with a pure fuel power system in terms of power, but it is not known which engine it will be equipped with. The new Lexus RC, which it co-developed, is expected to be officially launched in the next few years, when it is expected to be equipped with fuel-powered and hybrid systems, which will ensure fuel economy while ensuring performance, becoming a veritable "road lightning".
