Except those wheels. Is a decent 5 (or 5 split/Y) spoke wheel too much to ask for?!

Is the hood CF?

I agree with the wheels being a little off for a car like this. They should be more masculine, tough looking, and badass. LFA wheels would be perfect...

I don't know what the heck Lexus is doing. Looks like Lexus seems insecure or something else is going on otherwise, Lexus would have released the specs and pricing by now. Lexus is parading all of these RC-Fs in Canada and US without revealing anything on pricing and specs. Simply never happened in the past with another car.

Huge red flag for me.

I agree with you 05, no spec's no performance times put out yet. Either the car isn't making the numbers they expected, or they are tuning it more as the specs come out on other cars in its class.

The wheels are growing on me, just the like when spindle grill first appeared, and yep it's RC F model with the full carbon package.

Still arriving in fall, so I don't see any production issues, maybe Lexus is letting the anticipation build until the last minute and surprise us with exciting new numbers.

I'd like to see it whoop the Beemer in 0-60 for once specifically the M4 of course.
Out handles and faster is what beats the Beemer all the way.

I love black on almost everything, but with this car's sporting nature and beautiful curves, I'm actually digging the InfraRed most.

However, those wheels continue to disgust me. They're just not right for this car.

x2 If Lexus was confident that the car is a class leader, i believe that the RCF would be in every magazine going head to head with the competition.

agree with everyones opinion on the wheels, just doesn't fit!

also, that window trim must be blacked out, bet that would make it look a lot less like an accorde coupe from the side, haha

but damn, i do hope they are just building the anticipation, penting up demand. i know at least for me, i absolutely can't wait for some seat time, regardless of how it looks!

Its gorgeous. But its too bad that thing will be a beeyatchi to maintain. Black should be reserved for stealth applications like urban pacification projects and the like.

I think this is one of those cars u have to see in person to appreciate cause it just doesn't look anything special to me especially in black. The IS-F looks so good in black but I'm way too lazy to maintain a black paint job, that is why I only own white or silver cars. It could also be the wheels, I would hate to drop $80k on a car then immediately have to drop another $3-4k on aftermarket wheels
