Unveiled at the Tokyo motor show this week, the special editions – which are expected to arrive here in the second half of 2018 – carry higher-performance front shock absorbers designed to improve body rigidity and steering stability, plus a lightweight titanium muffler. Carbon-fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) is used in various (still-to-be-specified) exterior components, while body panels are finished in matte grey. Inside, the cabin is decked out in a unique ‘heat blue’ colour. Lexus Australia has advised that the local allocation of the special-edition models is still to be confirmed, but it is bound to be small. In Japan, Lexus plans to sell 50 units each of the anniversary RC F and GS F. As per the regular models, both editions are powered by a 5.0-litre V8 petrol engine that produces 351kW of power at 7100rpm and 530Nm of torque from 4800-5600rpm, driving the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic and reaching 100km/h from standstill in either 4.5 seconds (RC F) or 4.6s (GS F). The regular RC F is priced from $137,951, while the GS F starts at $153,251. Expect the special editions to add around $20,000 to the bottom line. “These two special versions of our acclaimed RC F coupe and GS F sedan will heighten the performance aura around the Lexus brand with their unique styling, performance features and exclusivity,” said Lexus Australia chief executive Peter McGregor.
