Lexus RC
When Lexus goes to the trouble of creating a new vehicle, we expect something spectacular. And that's exactly what we got with the brand's sport coupe, the RC. Environmentalists will like the hybrid version (RC 300h), but the most popular version will be the one with the 3.5-litre V6. At the other end of the spectrum, the very sporty RC F never seems to run out of steam thanks to its 467-horsepower V8.
