Top 10 Cars We’re Looking Forward to in 2014

Lexus RC-F

When Lexus originally introduced its first high-performance sport sedan, the IS-F, the world took notice as the Japanese automaker aimed squarely at the BMW M3, Mercedes C63 AMG and Audi RS4. The car featured a 417 horsepower V8 engine, paired with an eight-speed transmission and could rocket to 60 mph in about four seconds. But that was more than five years ago. It’s time to recreate that magic with a modern model and it sounds like Lexus will be looking to its new coupe to take the responsibility of a high-performance model. Since Lexus performance models seem to arrive every half-decade, we have very few ideas of exactly what the Lexus RC-F could bring, but expect a 460 horsepower V8 under the hood, an impressive move by Lexus as BMW flips back to a six-cylinder turbocharged motor.
