Much has happened since Lexus first launched the RC F. Countless iterations of the BMW M4. A new, quite bombastic Mercedes-AMG C63 and a new, slightly less bombastic Audi RS5. Then there"s the Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglio, possessing four doors but still very much a rival to Lexus"s hard-edged coupe. Time for a wee bit of a freshen up, then, to keep the RC F in our conscience. Unveiled at the Detroit motor show, the RC F gets not only new styling, tweaked suspension and better aero, but a new, harder cored Track Edition. And, um, less power. Thanks to increasingly stringent emissions laws, its 5.0-litre V8 now produces 451bhp, down from 470bhp. It"s still gloriously free of turbocharging, though. So while it"ll be less dramatic accelerating off the line than its rivals, it"ll rev higher and sing louder at the top of its gears.
