Default A rare win for the RCF!




Summary of the review:

BMW: Still a brilliant performance coupe and the pick if money is no object and ultimate track performance is your goal. The engine is a great blend of performance and efficiency but its harder ride and more aggressive on-the-limit handling mean it's second place in this contest.

Lexus: It may be its strong value equation that gives it the edge in this contest but it is also an extremely fast and capable performance coupe. You just need to be prepared for regular visits to the petrol station.

Personally I don't see a comparison when up against the M4. I was excited for the RCF but that quickly wore off when I saw it at the dealership. Not a fan of the look of the body, the wheels and it doesn't feel like it 'fits' together. M4 by a long shot IMHO even if it's more expensive. This article had it winning most comparisons as well.

I also don't get what Lexus is doing with fuel efficiency.. I feel like my 350 takes too much gas as it is

The RC and RCF's wheels don't look like they belong on the vehicle at all. Looks like those old folks home Lexus designers popped back up to help out with the wheel design-and failed...horribly.

Those wheels belong on a luxury sedan not a sports coupe.
