2015 Lexus RC Coupe Brings Emotional Appeal
“Waku waku doki doki” in Japanese means “trembling nervousness” and “the sound of rapid heartbeats” as the result of “excited anticipation.” More specifically, it is the feeling of anticipation or a rush of adrenaline when you are embarking upon something exciting. Your heart beats faster with nervous anticipation.
“A car must appeal to our emotions” says avid sports car enthusiasts and head of Toyota Motor Co., Akio Toyoda.
But the emotional appeal of the sports vehicle is designed to extend well beyond the realm of the automotive. As in architecture, it takes on a level of dimensional form or shape in asserting itself as a living thing.
The sports car is created to represent the palate, aspirations, and social status of the person in the driver’s seat. It conveys of aura of aptitude, power, style, and graceful motion.
It is representative of the needs and desires of its driver; it taps on the door of the subconscious and fervently summons the sentiments. The design, performance, durability, and ease of handling of the sports vehicle seek those that want to drive rather than ride.
The vehicle imparts a spirited youthfulness. Here are just some of the details you can expect in the all-new Lexus RC Coupe: deeply-contoured lines, a characteristically designed spindle grille complete with small interlocking Fs, a trademark, L-shaped motif that was comfortably adopted by the new RC headlamp design, bulging fenders, and a hood scoop that freely houses the vehicle’s powerful V8 engine. This sports car makes you feel like you’re on top of the world while behind the wheel.
Revel in the performance of a totally re-calibrated, eight-speed automated gearbox and a 5.0-liter V8 engine that effortlessly puts out 450 horses; created to run interchangeably on the high efficiency Atkinson cycle as well as the high performing Otto cycle.
In the driver’s seat of the Lexus RC, you become the pioneer of your own frontier as the spirit of adventure lives on through the iconic car maker’s redefinition of a sports Coupe.
Once you take control of the wheel, you’re immediately taken aback by the first-rate driving experience of the luxury sports car. It pulls you in as it aptly takes corners with smooth consistent braking and acceleration. Once you experience the drive, you quickly realize that this is a vehicle that you just have to have.
It is the workmanship of the car like the RC F that excites the emotions: the front and L-shaped air outlets that sucks up the air from under the hood, the calculation at which the fins were placed that aid in stabilizing the new coupe at top speeds, trapezoidal quad-outlet tailpipes that come paired with the vehicle’s sport exhaust system, and a rear spoiler that ascends at speeds of about 50 mph and then falls back into the body at less than 25 miles mph.
As for Lexus, the car maker says it created the 2015 460 HP F Coupe for one reason and one reason only: “Pure driving enjoyment.” What more of a reason do you need?
