Lexus RC F GT Concept Race Car Santa Challenge – Video

Lexus RC F GT Concept Race Car Santa Challenge – Video

Lexus RC F GT Concept Race Car Santa Challenge (2)

The RC F GT concept is an RC F with carbon fiber forming the doors, trunk, hood, and fenders. The side windows are polycarbonate, and the interior has been largely gutted. A box-shaped carbon-fiber tent has been erected over the transmission tunnel to serve as the center console. Flip on the fuel pumps and the uninsulated “scree!” of the pump motors fills the cabin with the sound of victory. The 2UR-GSE 5.0-liter V-8 puts out “467-plus” horsepower, meaning it has something more than the 467 horsepower produced by the stock RC F. However, with a curb weight advertised as 3130 pounds, the GT concept is more than 900 pounds lighter than the stocker, which is a two-ton slab of iron. Forty of these things on a grid would make an amazing manga-ized version of NASCAR.
