Default First (?) real-world pics

Just saw these on Facebook.

As usual - much nicer look than the press photos.

Ride height looks fine too for those that were concerned it was going to look like it was on stilts

Looks like FSport badge on the side, covered up.

FSport wish list
- Ultrasonic Blue
- Burnt Orange
- 19" standard wheels
- LFA dash (like ISFsport)
- suspension/braking enhancements
- RC F style front end/grille
- and for the love of Pete..don't lose the fogs

totally agree that this is an FSport model... The RC-F will have quad exhaust and the appropriate badging and brakes correct?

I'm luving this car. It's awesome. But I want to know, what is the purpose of the vents on the rear bumper near the exhaust?

First, I'm not sure I want a car that's "sick," as I don't want to catch any automotive maladies. Secondly, the blue looks spectacular. Finally, the "vents" at the back on the rear bumper near the exhaust (which are not on the F-Sport version) serve the same purpose as the wings on the back of the batmobile: they make it go about 20mph faster, especially while it's parked.

I think the overall design of the RC-F looks very good and is way ahead of the other coupes out there right IMHO however if here was one weakness it has ...... it's theses rear vents
