With the Frankfurt Motor Show done and dusted, there are plenty of model\u00a0updates still to come. Lexus has announced a few updates to the 2018\u00a0Lexus RC lineup.<\/p>\n
In 2018 trim, Lexus has ditched the RC 200t moniker in favour for an RC\u00a0300. But wait, isn’t there already an RC 300 coupe?<\/p>\n
Yes, there is, but for the 2018\u00a0Lexus RC lineup, two unique RC 300 models are on offer. One will retain the 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine rated at 241 horsepower. This model will be exclusively\u00a0available with a rear-wheel drivetrain.<\/p>\n
The other RC 300 is only available in AWD and has its very own engine. Lift the bonnet and you’ll find a 3.5-litre V6 with 260 horses on tap.<\/p>\n
That’s not confusing at all! Lexus hasn’t said why exactly they’ve done this, but we won’t be surprised to see other Lexus models including NX, RX and IS models to adopt a similar strategy playing host to the 2.0-litre turbo motor.<\/p>\n
These models are also powered by the V6 and are available in both rear-wheel and all-wheel drive configurations. Rated at 311 hp, rear-wheel versions are mated to an eight-speed automatic whereas AWD models have a six-speed box instead.<\/p>\n
There are other updates besides a renaming structure. Inside, there’s an enlarged infotainment system measuring in at 10.3-inches, new entertainment and safety\u00a0options.<\/p>\n
F-Sport variants receive new drive modes and a new shade of yellow paint for the exterior.<\/p>\n
