Come on, if you’re gonna say the RCF is stupidly expensive for how slow it is, the. There’s the LC500 which carries a 6 figure price tag which is slower than any of the F series lexus cars

It’s all about feel and sound. Do you prefer a proper n/a engine or a “ Dyson” under your hood !

Unfortunately, the rcf is no match for the m4.
Does anyone know when lexus will introduce a twin clutch transmission for their f performance cars ?
are nissan and mitsubishi the only jdm cars using twin clutch in japan ?
