Lexus RC-F unveiled.

F1Venom · 06-28-2014, 12:07 PM

If only it could sound two thirds as good as the LFA... I would pay $100k for it. Honestly, if I were given the opportunity to test drive an M4 or this, I'd go with this

Crimson92 · 06-28-2014, 02:08 PM

I'm excited for this car. Especially if the future dct and manual trans rumors are true.

A manual transmission RCF rumor seems very credible. The only thing holding me back on this car would be the lack of a manual transmission. But love the fact they kept the V8. Very attractive in that aspect.

That would make for a hell of a thing.

The red ones look hideous with the bright chrome. I guessing the others have some sort black chrome? I like the orange one.

The red one with bright chrome is the RC 350, the RC F comes with dark chrome. They have different spindle grills.

It's like trying to pick which of Walder Frey's daughters is slightly less ugly.

Much like the Mk4 Supra, there are elements I really like, but the whole is a little hard to process. Those seats are trying so hard it's almost sad.

F1Venom · 07-08-2014, 03:14 PM

I think the white one looks amazing.

ghueser · 07-08-2014, 03:42 PM

That in my opinion is one weird looking car, both inside and out. I guess I'm no longer in the demographic that lexus is aiming for.

I do like the fact that they have an oil dipstick though!

M3WC · 07-08-2014, 03:50 PM

They are aiming for 18 year olds with money. Huge demographic.

This car is a Hot Import Nights wet dream.

Wah · 07-08-2014, 03:51 PM

The engine is pretty... everything else looks too much like a transformer.

swanson · 07-08-2014, 05:45 PM

I like the red and orange.

Savory · 07-08-2014, 07:27 PM

Front of the car still looks dreadful.That spiced vomit orange isn't doing it any favors either. The White/Red interior isn't half bad, however!

F1Venom · 07-08-2014, 10:02 PM

I think this car looks better than the M4.

The M4 is pretty bland if we're being honest. I prefer the RCF to the M4 as well. However in truth if I was in the market I'd probably veer more towards the C63.

DieGrüneHölle · 07-09-2014, 12:17 AM

The car is overdone.

Screams "Fast and Furious", looks childish.

majin ssj eric · 07-09-2014, 01:08 AM

I agree with the statement that its trying too hard. Still a nice car and I bet the performance will be great!

Agree. I like the RC F, but the C AMG is to be best in class, especially the C AMG Coupé, if the S AMG Coupé is any indication. The RC F keeps its large displacement V8, but the C AMG will add two turbos. Mid-class sedan with Bi-Turbo V8!!! Wonder what the next RS4/RS5 will be like, BMW bland, Mercedes stylish or Lexus special.

Compared to the boring and lackluster look of the m4 or m235i, this thing looks good for a "sports" car.
Not to speak on BMWs current lineup: from the rear, the new 3 series sedan looks just like the 5 series and 7 series with the exception of that silver bar that runs from light to light:

The RC-F Doesn't have any outrageous spoiler or body kit like the civic type-s prototype but is aggressive enough so the people on the streets know its not your typical lexus.
Let's just hope they don't overprice this thing.
