Sunroof extend out instead of inside? Guess not going to order the sunroof option for sure. Any photo of the back seat room?

The AWD front gap on the RC350 is painful to look at.

If you get the chance to see it can you please check the following. Photos would be nice.

1) How much leg and head room at the rear seats. See if you can sit in the rear.

2) Take a photo of the rear suspension and differential area. Want to see if the rear wheel steering will make it on the RC-F which is available on the RC350 F-sport.

3) How much trunk space.

4) Take photo of the front suspension tower from the side to see if any cables is connected to the adjustable shocks.

Thanks.

Notice the RC-F does not have any backup parking sensors.

RCF is confirmed to have adjustable suspension when you look at the flash site at lexus about the F cars, but wouldnt hurt to put that to rest and check for AVS actuators in the engine bay. Take a picture of trunk space also if they will let you open the trunk

The plate looks like its attached and not just a temp dealer plate but it does says DST on it.
Was this RC-F just on show for some time or was it for sale? If it is still there next Friday I will try to get some more photos and info.

Looks like the dual stage intake has carried over from the isF. I wonder if the second stage opens at the same rpm or earlier. I would definitely like that engine cover for my F !

Thanks for sharing!
The black lines on f-sport's rear bumper remind me of unshaven underarm....

Yeah wasn't to fond about that either... But i guess it makes it better for more head room (w/ helmet).
One of the major complaints for taller people who owned / tracked their IS F's...
