The Lexus RC F is few months away from hitting the dealerships and there are still details about the car that Lexus is being quiet on. We still don’t have exact power numbers, weight, or any performance figures.

Mmm… You hear that? That’s 5-liters of V8 Lexus bumbling away under the hood of the RC F. It sounds pissed. It probably is pissed. If you were a race car being forced rev on a glass dais instead of, say, Monza, wouldn’t you be a little miffed?

You can’t be totally prepared for the Gumball 3000. The full frontal assault of ferocious supercars, exotic locales and block rocking parties is enough to turn the brains of most mortals into an exhaust-rattled, octane-spiked blob of tapioca pudding.

Lexus have been the lords of high MPG luxury for as long as that’s been a thing, but they’re also the leading champs when it comes to building fast hybrids. After tooling around in the Lexus GS450h for a week, I’ve come to a conclusion: Hybrids, on the whole, don’t suck. Slow hybrids suck.

The Gumball 3000. The rally is as legendary as its name is ridiculous, and since 1999, Maximillion Cooper’s high-octane celebration of supercars, speed, celebrity and outrageous hedonism has covered more than 45,000 miles and shone a spotlight on the culture of fantastically wealthy gearheads from around the world.

General Motors might be in recall Hell these days, but they’re not the only automaker sending recall notices. Lexus recently announced their plans to conduct a voluntary recall of 10,500 of its 2013 GS sedans.

This fine bit of escapism comes courtesy of Gazoo racing. The car, I’m assuming, is their LFA X race car. Part of the reason this video is so entertaining is the ease with which the LFA blows by everything else.
