Lexus RC, GS to Gain Turbo Four-Cylinder Next Year
Lexus’ new 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine will reach more models next year.
AutoGuide first broke the news that the IS would be next in the automaker’s lineup to receive the new turbo-four that debuted in the Lexus NX and now word is that the GS 200t and RC 200t will also be available by September 2015. While the RC was already expected to receive the turbocharged engine, the addition of the GS might come as a surprise to some.
