New Model Will Broaden the Lexus Brand's High Performance Portfolio
Lexus announced it will be adding a second vehicle to its growing stable of F brand high performance models. Last year, the luxury manufacturer launched the RC F, a V8 powered performance coupe. The newest Lexus F brand vehicle will make its global premiere at the 2015 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) on Jan. 13, 2015.
Named after the famous Fuji speedway in Japan, the “F” marque stands for true high performance and takes intense motorsport technology and driving passion to a level never encountered for the ultimate exhilarating ride. Lexus F vehicles are born of a pure passion for driving with a unique Lexus perspective on extreme driver engagement. The “F” marque was first introduced with the Lexus IS F in 2008.
Takayuki Yoshitsugu, Chief Representative, Middle East and North Africa Representative Office, TOYOTA Motor Corporation, said, “The premiere of a new F brand model in 2015 will reveal a unique vehicle with a stunning and emotive design that follows in the footsteps of the launch of the “RC F” which also made a bold statement with its aggressive attitude and sleek look. Lexus has been pushing the boundaries of performance right from the start and our new Lexus F brand vehicle will take this even further to exceed customer expectations.”
