RC-F spotted in the wild!-irgaw2p.png

Close to Lambo presence for 1/5th the price and twice the quality.

Lambo might be stretching it, but it is a fine looking motor carriage they have there.

If I had the money, that would be the car that would put me back in a Lexus.

I have to agree : this car looks more like an exclusive exotic supercar. Hard to believe this is Lexus' entry level performance coupe.

From this angle, it looks elegant yet brutish at the same time.

I likes. Nice proportions and the longish front looks great.

Everything seems to work on this car. Even the grille's aggressiveness matches the lines of the car. I still think that grille looks a little out of place on the 3IS and 4GS. But on this coupe, it blends in well to the design.

Huge thumbs up, Lexus. Looks sweet. Slightly dropped on some proper shoes and this thing will look stunning.

I want to see night shots with the triple L-shaped LEDs and the DRLs on and maybe fogs if they're planning to release official ones for the RC-F

I totally agree. It reminds me of a Maserati coupe.

Now we are finally seeing the method to the madness in the Spindle Grille. Best execution ever!

meh, I just think the normal RC looks better. The touches they put on the F make it look sorta 'slabby' so to speak, and the hood bulge is much more pronounced than on the IS F (which is one feature of the IS F I never liked).

Maybe if we see more videos and different colors, I'll change my mind. I liked how it looked in the official Lexus PR pics.
