From the moment the Lexus RC350 F Sport threaded through a first sharp corner it clicked that this is not only a proper BMW 435i rival, but is one that could dethrone the benchmark in the premium coupe class.

The Lexus RC200t brings the starting price of the Lexus coupe down to a new level, starting from $64,000 plus on-road costs. That price slots the 200t Luxury model below the existing RC350 Luxury, which has seen a price jump to $67,000 from $65,610...
The number of turbocharged options in the Lexus range has grown again this week, with the international debut of a new entry-level RC 200t coupe. Joining the NX 200t SUV, the newly announced IS 200t sedan, and the big new RX 200t, the fresh turbo coupe will enter below the V6-powered RC 350 and the powerhouse V8 RC F flagship...
