Lexus hints at new performance coupe

Lexus is about to add another vehicle to its high-performance portfolio, a coupe.

The two door F model -- F is the Lexus designation for its hopped-up cars -- will be unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit next month.

The brand already has the LFA supercar and the IS-F small performance sedan. But this time it's thinking two doors, not four, and promises it will be an all-new vehicle.

Half the doors, twice the roar. Lexus will unleash its upcoming F model as a coupe, conceived with grit, an entirely new expression of design and uncompromising performance. The official name of this two-door F model will be released in early January 2014.
