Wide Body RC F Highlights Lexus Booth At SEMA
Lexus is showing off its hottest new rides at SEMA including the brand new GS F sport sedan and a wide body RC F.
In its hard-to-miss Burnt Orange wrap, the RC F sports an awesome custom wide body GT Pandem aero kit, that may or may not have been inspired by the brands GT3 race car (which is also on display at the show.) Inside, the car features an Evasive Motorsports six point roll cage and rear cover panels and this Lexus wears 20-inch Rays Engineering Volk Racing TE-37 that are done up in a matte blue gunmetal color-scheme and wrapped up with Bridgestone Potenza tires. Under the hood is a performance intake from Takeda Retain intake system and a GReddy performance exhaust. Helping the car handle is its KW Suspension Varient 3 Coilover Kit and six-piston Brembo brakes at each wheel.
As mentioned, the RC F isn’t the only car on display by Lexus. The new GS F also features a Burnt Orange wrap by 3M and many of the same performance upgrades that the wide body RC F sports including the Takeda Retain Intake, the GReddy performance exhaust and the Brembo brakes. The GS F wears glossy black Advan Racing GT wheels and Falken Azenis FK453 tires. Like the RC F, the GS F is put together by Gordon Ting/Beyond Marketing.
Lexus also brought along a new IS 200t and RC 200t, that both show off the tuning and customization potential of the entry level products. The IS 200t by VIP Auto Salon fulfills the pre-requisite amount of carbon fiber for an automaker to be allowed into the SEMA show, with the Seibon Carbon Aero kit that includes carbon fiber front lip spoiler, side step, rear diffuser and rear under spoiler. The Guy S. De Alwis and 360 Motorworks designed RC 200t sports a Cosmic Blue 3M wrap, and wears massive 20-inch Stance SF01 wheels with Toyo Proxes T1 Sport tires. The RC 200t uses Tanabe NF210 lowering springs and a Tanabe Medalion touring exhaust.’
Additionally, a 2014 Lexus IS 350 is on display at the show, though not at the Lexus booth. With its unique wrap, the IS 350 is at the Orafol booth.
