Dubai, UAE, December 2013: Lexus unveiled its striking new production-ready RC coupe, scheduled for launch in 2014, at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show. The RC raises Lexus' profile with a broader audience, injecting emotional appeal into the Lexus DNA which has become well known for building quality, refinement and reliability. “Our focus is to strengthen the brand's emotional appeal through our products and RC is another demonstration of this focus,” said Mark Templin, Lexus International executive vice president. “The emotional attachment of a coupe is found in its purity of design and its engaging driving experience, and with RC the engineers have achieved the balance.” “With its striking design and outstanding driving dynamics, we believe the new RC Coupe will be a strong contender in the luxury-coupe segment,” said Saud Abbasi, General Manager of Al-Futtaim Motors – Lexus. “We look forward to receive and launch the new RC Coupe in the UAE which will prove very popular to existing and new to Lexus customers.” RC is part of a ride and handling revolution at Lexus, which started with GS mid-size luxury sedan and continued with the new IS sport sedan. The RC is a stand-alone model, rather than a two-door derivative of a sedan. Based on the GS platform, the coupe differs in all dimensions from the GS and IS lines. The aggressively styled coupe will be available in the UAE with a 3.5-liter V6 engine teamed with an eight-speed sequential transmission.
