Default G Force & Turbo Boost

Just explored the lexus website as they had all the new specs up for the 2016 RC and I saw a new feature that says the F sports will have G Force and Turbo Boost display ability. Anyone heard of this before? Seems interesting.

Dear Lexus,

"Please give the new RC more low end torque or bolt on a couple whistling turbos, and leave out the geeky G Force display which no one will ever use"

Thank You
- Dave

The RC300 is going to be the AWD option for the RC200t, similar to the 2016 IS line. It's a detuned 3.5L V6 with 255 hp and 236 lb/ft torque, while getting 19/21/26 mpg, and starts at $42610. Not sure why someone would get the RC300 when for a couple grand more they could get the RC350 AWD that has significantly more power and same fuel economy. Seems like a no brainier to me...
