This isn't the RCF but everyone remembers the LF-LC concept. Apparently it's going to be the most powerful production Lexus ever built. They'll have 3 versions, a base version with the RCF engine, a hybrid version that adds some power, and then a 600 HP+ twin turbo version. It'll be a while until it's out though, but it's interesting news nonetheless.

We already knew the car would be called the SC, that it would have a version of the RC F's eight pot mill under the hood, and that there would be a hybrid version, because hybrids. But according to Jonny Lieberman's sources, the top of the line RC-FS model will be a twin-turbo, 600hp monster, making it the most powerful production Lexus ever built. Hell. And. Yes.

With 450 ponies on tap, it's not like the base model will be any slouch either, and the hybrid model--dubbed the SC H--will sport a 500hp engine which will be borrowed from partner BMW. Lieberman also reveals that the 2017 LS will be available with the twin-turbo from its two-door sibling, and following Lexus nomenclature, will be known as the LS F. It's a good time to be a Lexus fan.
