Agreed that the pics weren't the best quality...

The Orange calipers will look great on every color except Red Exterior in my honest opinion..

Same problem applies to Red Cabernet interior... NO BUENO

It looks like there may possibly be a downgrade, too.

2016 w/performance package.. note the lack of triple beams. According to Lexus corporate, this is now an add-on item and NOT included with any package as before.

Between this and those calipers, I'm glad that I'm a '15 owner.

Someone with access to a 2016 sticker showing premimum package with no triple beam housings on the car, should post it here..

Also, noticed the basic pedal offerings (no round grips) are in these RC F's as well..

^^ Don't forget the Orange calipers are a $300 option..
Not standard color (which is Black $0)

^^ This would be a bold move by Lexus if the left the Premium Package at same price of $4,400

The RC F builder on Lexus.com doesn't match what these cars arriving have..!!!

OK Finally got confirmation on some 2016 *USA pricing...

2015 RC F
Base Price $62,400
Destination $940
Total = $63,340

2016 RC F
Base Price $62,805
Destination $940
Total = $63,745 ($405 increase)


The new price on the 2016 Premimum Package has been lowered to $3,240

Original 2015 price was $4,400

Lowered by $1,160 which is the cost of the standalone option "PREMIUM TRIPLE-BEAM LED HEADLAMPS" on the configurator..!!

More to come soon..!!

Website also looks to have been updated now as well to reflect the separate triple beam option and no longer being included with the premium package..

Those pedals better or worse? Less grip?

Pic of my burnt copper calipers on my USB ISF. I think they should of done similar color on RCF instead of Orange. GSF has similar color to burnt copper orange.

Where are you guys seeing the change on the website? Under packages, it still shows, "PREMIUM PACKAGE
LED "L"-shaped headlamps, heated and ventilated front seats, Advanced Blind Spot Monitor* with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert*, Intuitive Parking Assist*, dark carbon fiber interior trim and more. $3240" with a picture of the car with those lights.

2016 RC F & FS F will have the same Orange Brembo Calipers as a $300 option item.
