    Lexus To Debut Hardcore RC-F Track Edition At Detroit 2019

    Despite what you may have heard about the Detroit Motor Show earlier in the year, we are delighted to report that the show will still proceed in January. For 2019, things will be slightly different as some brands have bailed out of Detroit, leaving space for others. One manufacturer that took advantage of this shuffle is Lexus!

    For the 2019 Detroit Motor Show Lexus is set to showcase a more hardcore version of its RC-F sports car. Called the Track Edition, the Japanese sports car will target the likes of BMW’s M4 CS. This means that more power has to be let out of the 5.0-litre V8 while the car will also have to shed some weight to better equip itself against the German competitor. We can expect the power to boost up to the 500 hp (373 kW) region from the current 467 hp (348 kW). This could also result in a higher top speed north of 270 km/h.

    Lexus has released a teaser image of the track monster, showing only a carbon-fibre end-plate for what appears to be a massive rear wing. Luckily there have been a few spy shots going around, showing new bumpers front and rear.

    The car is also likely to benefit from a carbon-fibre roof and bonnet. At the moment it makes sense to assume that the Track Edition will be based on the RC-F GT concept that was showcased in 2016, boasting a 360kg weight saving. While such weight trimming sounds ambitious, the RC-F Track Edition should indeed lose a couple of kilos.

    Lastly, the RC F Track Edition is promised to be the most powerful road-going Lexus, save for the LFA of course. With the 2019 Detroit Motor Show steadily approaching, it shouldn’t be long until we get official info of the new Lexus.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?

    • The new BMW M240i xDrive barely puts a foot wrong. The price is right, it's crushingly quick, more than practical enough to daily and if you only look at the front, it is very easy on the eye 😉 

It pulls properly hard, doesn’t feel turbocharged in its response, and delivers thrills when you want them. The extra confidence and pace afforded by the sweet pairing of the straight-six petrol engine and the rear-biased xDrive AWD system make the M240i an enticing proposition all of its own.

If you gave any BMW fan a wish list and asked them to build the perfect car given the company's current resources, it probably wouldn't be too far off this one.
