Lexus RC F specs

While Toyota is over there with their BMW Z4 Coupe, this is the real Supra. Just with a V8. You know, if Toyota swapped in the 3.4 liter V35A twin turbo V6 from the LC500, tuned it to 450 hp, gave it a manual, and swapped it into an RC F with different bodywork, it’d basically be a Supra.

just another overrated performance from lexus toyota!!why they never show the nurburgring lap time?just like the new zupra..

Change lateral acceleration from .92 g to .95 g. Here's my source https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a15109103/2015-lexus-rc-f-tested-review/
I figured .92 was too low so i looked around and this was the best skidpad test for a non carbon package rc f i could find

Their quarter mile was also 12.8 which is .1 second slower than the 12.7 seconds that motor trend test got but caranddriver got a faster trap speed at 114mph

[2018 Lexus RC F Carbon] Motor Trend 7/2018 test results [published in "Ultimate Grand Tourers" page on this issue date]:
0-30 mph = 1.6 s
0-40 mph = 2.2 s
0-50 mph = 3.2 s
0-60 mph = 4.1 s
0-70 mph = 5.3 s
0-80 mph = 6.1 s
0-90 mph = 7.3 s
0-100 mph = 8.9 s
1/4-mile = 12.5 s / 114.3 mph
Figure-8 = 22.3 s / 1.02 g
Lateral acceleration = 0.98 g
Willow Springs = 82.98 s

It is technically not a sedan, though it's heavier than the 2008-'14 IS F it's based on.

...FBO?..

Fat Bitches Only? lol

From a roll it loses badly to my FBO E93 .
Was suprised myself .

....You might want to rephrase your comment there.....

The Lexus RC F accelerates like a bat out of hell--the engine is powerful.

With the right set up, it competes head to head with the best on a track. Whether on the road or track, it's a thrill to drive.

Esquire Magazine chose wisely making it the 2015 Biggest Thrill Ride of the Year.

Please add weight: 3,958 lbs

Wow that's a great 0-60 time, I was hoping we would see a test break into the 3s, Couple things I noticed, how is it that they got 3540lbs on the GT 5.0 when everyone's else Is getting 37-3800lbs? And man that Viper, an old Skool manual and still the awesomest car there.

Yet Toyota are doing great in terms of sales and business in general.

I think this is another step in the right direction for Lexus. Lexus and Toyota suffer from an image problem. People don't see them as exciting cars.

Autocar review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87cXsEN42us

The shape is great so i suspect it will be better to look at from all angles in real life. And i hope it has 500hp.

I think id still rather have Dysentery..

The shape is wonderful, I wont deny that, But wether people said they were boring or not, Is no excuse for making an ugly car, I know everything about a car is subjective, but still, But at least its rivals have the looks, M4/5.0/C7/C4S/ all those cars are nice to look at and will most likely cream this thing in every performance category. Still, Im glad they have a N/A 5.9 V8 and not some 3.2L TT V6, God i am so sick of this downsizing bullshite (However i am glad they bought the I6 for the 3 back(Id rather it be N/a like Bmw M/// Use to be..)

I like it, the design is supposed to stand out from the crowd, keep in mind that people criticized Lexus for boring designs, they are only responding to them ( the lambo way)

And we all agree about the NA engine

@Apathy, we probably don't agree on the RC F's styling... ;) but I definitely agree with you on the powerplant. DI turbo motors are cool, and have their place. But I love the fact that Lexus stuck with a N/A V8 motor!

I don't like the way it looks in pictures at all.

In person, I'm still not completely sold on it. The front just stands out too much. It says "LOOK AT ME!!!" You can say the same about other sporty coupes, but the Lexus does it in spades by looking overly bold and somewhat unpleasant (IMO)

It doesn't look very pretty to me at all. It's just flashy (again, IMO).

I will say this though, I'm glad Lexus stuck with the 5.0l V8. The competitor DI turbo cars might have more torque, but there's something cool and visceral about a V8.

I like it. I think that grill works. I didn't at first, but once I saw it in person it makes more sense...
I hope to see it against the M3 C63AMG(and maybe the ATS-V) in a proper Fifth Gear-style dogfight! :)

Ewww, Still butt arse ugly. Ill take an M4 or 5.0 at that price range, Better yet give me a Stingray. Honestly, You have to wonder about the design team of Lexus, These curves and flows on there new cars are just god awful, They dont have the same elegence as they once had. That front end grille is like a huge Audi that was in a accident, The hood bulge is way to big, Those lights are too small and out of place, Specially with those unconnected ones underneath, And those rear tail lights JUST stick out, And dont curve or go with the body.

The interior takes cues from the LFA, I was extremely excited bout the RC class, Full on coupe with potential. But they have ruined it for me.

I would so buy this car when it comes out if I had the money. It's kind of like an ISF with more power and 2 less doors.

460hp and 380lb-ft was claimed by Car and Driver in the link I mentioned below. All other sources says just "more then 450hp". But if this car would receive more power when came to production, it would be nice.
Lexus also would make a GT3 racecar based on this coupe with 540 hp.

""More than 450 horsepower" - or 335kW - is the inkling as to the new car’s performance. But even that number is due to change, with engineers still working on enhancements tipped to add another 10 or 15kW."
