Lexus Australia boss Sean Hanley is set to announce tomorrow, February 6, at Sydney Motorsport Park that Lexus is putting its toe in the water with the V8 Supercar series.

The announcement, we understand, is that Lexus will be providing its new RC F V8 performance car as safety and pace cars for the 2015 V8 Supercar race calendar.

Further to that, Mr Hanley today conceded to media at the launch of the new NX 200t that Lexus was “examining the benefits” of a full racing involvement with the Supercar series.

Central to Lexus Australia’s interest is that it has got a monster V8 of its own that could arguably be let off the leash on the V8 grid.

“This (Lexus) 5.0 litre V8, it’s a great engine,” Mr Hanley said.

“We’re looking at the entire motorsport landscape; we’re examining the benefits it might have to this brand.”
