for sure it doesn't start at 77k
No, I was responding to Furge. He was talking about Canada. $77,000 for the 507. He inaccurately said, it starts in the high 60s.

BREAKING NEWS!!!

Pricing has just been released in the UK. £59,995 for the RC-F and £67,995 for the RC-F Carbon package!

By comparison - BMW M4 DCT is £59,135! Only a slight difference in price but a lot more spec!

in the end the RCF will be cheaper, RCF is loaded up with a lot of features that are optional on the M. RCF wont charge you $2500 for leather, $500 for paint, and wont force you into a $4000 executive package to get back up camera and push start/keyless entry.

Good to see the RC-F actually works out to be cheaper than the M4. Hell of a great value considering the lavish and expensive equipment like the RC-F seats, LFA gauge cluster etc.

Oh geez! Not another one of those.

Does any M4 cost $113,500? The pricing in Europe has nothing to do with the North American market. All the UK pricing is telling, is that it is cheaper than the M4 spec for spec.

on the RC-F the options are -
  • Metallic Paint - £625
  • Sunroof - £1000
  • ML Audio - £1000
  • Torque Vectoring Differential - £3500
  • Adaptive cruise control +pre crash safety system - £1295

On the RC-F Carbon Package the only options are metallic paint and adaptive cruise control + pre crash safety system.

The standard spec is huge!! -

Oh and vehicle weight is 1800kg (3970 pounds). Compared to an IS-F that is about 85kg (188 pounds) heavier. No idea on the Carbon RC-F though. Should be lighter, may be the same as the IS-F.

Oh geez! Europe is getting TVD as a stand alone option. That is exactly what I was hoping for. I don't care for the whole carbon package. I just need the TVD. Hope that do the same here in Canada. I will get the base + TVD.

No, I was not inaccurate. Convert $77K CDN to USD and you'll see it's high $60K in the US.
Better yet, check the price at MB USA… the 507 is still for sale in N. America for one more year.

This is what I was saying all along - the RC F MUST be less than the M4… it's not as fast, sadly, and people will cross-shop.

And um, no, it's not the LFA gauge cluster.

nop you didn't read correctly, he clearly said in parenthesis "USD"

but i have no doubt similarly equipped, the rcf is going to be cheaper than m4. question is how much cheaper, my feeling is the gap is less than before (between isf and m3)
