Lexus’ big reveal at the 2014 North American International Auto Show in Detroit was the high-performance RC F coupe, a car designed to take on the BMW M4 and Audi RS 5, among others. The luxury brand also brought the car the RC F is based on: the RC 350, which it first showed late last year at the Tokyo Motor Show. The 2015 RC 350 will be available at U.S. dealerships in November or December of this year.

The RC 350’s design is a little toned down compared to the RC F, but not as much as you might expect. Lexus’ spindle grille still dominates the front end, albeit in a different form, and it’s bordered by headlights that wouldn’t be out of place on a concept car. Flared rear fenders hint at the car’s performance aspirations.
