2015 Lexus RC F color competition ends with ‘Solar Flare’ winner

Lexus‘ challenge for selecting the name of an orange tint for the RC F has finished and the champ is “Sunlight based Flare.”

After a month and just about 400 entrances, Lexus has a name for the RC F’s orange paint and its called Solar Flare. The organization’s UK division dispatched a shade naming challenge to figure out which would be the most fitting moniker and in the wake of narrowing it down to 10 names, Lexus UK Director Richard Balshaw picked “Sunlight based Flare” which was submitted in five separate remarks on Facebook.

Sneaking underneath the orange hood is Lexus’ most effective ever V8 motor, a 5.0-liter that puts out more than 450 bhp (335 kw) and 383 lb-ft (518 Nm). It works with an eight-pace Direct Shift gearbox which empowers the powerful roadster to achieve 60 mph (96 km/h) in under 4.6 seconds on its route to a most extreme velocity of 168 mph (270 km/h).

Other than emphasizing a solid eight-chamber motor, the RC F likewise accompanies a carbon fiber top and dynamic back spoiler determined from the LFA and deployable at 50 mph (80 km/h). Lexus introduced a game tuned suspension and a three-mode torque vectoring differential to make the “RC F to be appreciated by all devotees – regardless of what their level of skill”, as indicated by the auto’s boss designer Yukihiko Yaguchi.
