that article said 235/265 tires, before it said 255/275

Torsen LSD as Standard Equipement in a base trim RC F - no doubt..!!

Coming in heavy...

The tires are indeed 255/35/19 & 275/35/19

But I expect the active clutch packs delivering power to the outer wheel will increase corner entry and exit speeds to compensate plus.

Aside from the output advantage over the RC 350, the RC F benefits from greater chassis stiffness, large-diameter Brembo brakes with six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers, and a standard Torsen or optional torque-vectoring rear differential with three driving modes: standard, slalom, and track.

News is already out. Go to the breaking news repository thread for the Autoweek story.

The RCF matched the same-driver lap time of the M4.
