Default Video of New RCF GT at ViR lightning lap 2:43.2

This is the RC F that Lexus should have built 500hp, 3327lbs 6.7lbs/hp. Now granted it's a concept car that has been guarded with a roll cage running slicks but even still teaching RCF performance was stellar considering its competition overall historical fastest times it came in second Buy point 1 behind the Porsche 918 Spyder it's a constant Heavy Hitters such as the ACR Viper Grand
, Sport vet 488 Ferrari, BMW M4 GT, Porsche GT3 and several others. Making RC F GT with 500 horsepower around 3550 to pounds it'll be a beast and run extremely competitive.

It came in first place for 2016 over sec fast time ever only 918 Porsche Spyder beat it by .1 sec . They now have RcF GT3 in Germany with two teams out there maybe now lexus will pick up some good info running out there which will the next Gen F cars number one is how to build lighter sports car and more power. Now that Toyota and BMW have joined force to develop next Gen BMW Z4 and what ever Toyota going to call there car FT1 or Supra hopefully will see some leaps foward in F division.

I just hope Toyota/Lexus reliability doesn't take a hit with this venture with BMW

I think one lesson they can take from BMW is not to be so damn conservative! Keep quality and attention to details but loosen up bit if your going to build sports car or sport sedan then don't hold back on the thing that count most power, keep it as light as possible, great steering feel, and dialed in chassis and suspension and that's just few of things that BMW does well.

Yea one can hope that Lexus/Toyota will take the good things from BMW in what they do very well like what you said and keep the reliability part??

Very impressive, but I'm not getting how 3550 lbs + 500 horsepower matched a 918s time and dusted a viper ACR even on slicks, must be some extremely clever engineering in there.
