RC-FS: More Power Anyone
Yep, I was told that Lexus is working on a 600-HP version of the soon-to-be-released RC-F for those who need more horsepower for the daily commute.
Open up your check books: I was told $120k for the atomic racer. it is a bit more power than I need for my navigation on the blue planet.

Sounds interesting. Must be going forced induction for it.

That's old news. Not to mention pure speculation.

This is based on what I heard from a Lexus corp exec. True, it needs to move from the product roadmap to reality.
There are definitely more Fs to come.

The LF-LC will be a "successor" to the SC.

The over 100k market is exploding, this is a segment Lexus needs to aggressively attack. An even harder line of cars from Lexus that performs with the best of the best would do wonders. Alas I am not holding my breathe since we don't have a full F lineup yet.

WIth the new z06 starting at 78k, and a fully loaded one with pretty much every option for about 90k, I'm leaning towards the corvette. 650hp/650lbtq is ridiculous!

Enjoy the Vet! The '69 is one of my favorites.

Expect to see it conservatively spec'd at around 4.3-4.4--and anticipate seeing test drivers running 3.9-4 flat. On the track, I expect to see the RCF make a lot of competing cars look silly--the torque vectoring should be like crazy glue when it comes to keeping the rubber on the track.
I would not underestimate Yaguchi-san.
