Trackside: Radically styled 2015 Lexus RC F is as fast as it looks
With each lap, my confidence in the RC F's performance and my familiarity with the track grew, and I was able to see a bit of what Lexus means when it says that the coupe's performance reveals more of itself as the driver grows. The RC F felt sharper and sharper with every corner, as if honing its edge on each apex...but only to a point. No, the F never really felt as sharp as the equivalent M car, but the more supple Lexus isn't without its own charms. The RC F is faster and more nimble than its predecessor but doesn't stray far from the formula established by the IS F. It strikes a balance between performance and amenity that's probably best-suited for the street, but also not at all inappropriate for the occasional track day.

BMWBlog's glowing review!
Summing up the Lexus RC F in one statement is difficult but I would have to go with jack-of-all-trades. I was pleasantly surprised with the fun had in Lexus’ newest sport car. Compared to the benchmark of the segment, the BMW M4, it is a close call as an all-round performer.

personal review
got a chance to drive it on monday at the Running of the Bulls
RC-F - Huge step up! would love to have one for a DD, sounds a lot meaner then the m4
M4 - Still king of the tracks. the turns, the acceleration, just overall a track car.
maybe the rc-f would feel a little bit better if it shed some weight. but overall Lexus is still working on getting there.

RC F will prove to be best all-around GT sport - and to me that means most entertaining in the real world. Don't forget trouble free ownership and high resale. I can't wait for mine! What's holding you back?

TBH I know I would get flamed for this, but I was a little disappointed with the ISF. There was so much talk of a tuning option available to the US but that was like chasing unicorns. So with the RCF, I know its already faster but my worry is, if im going to want more power after I/H/E like I did with the ISF, will it even be an available option for the RCF... I know time will tell and who knows... I'm anxious to check out the RCF coming to Guam in a week or so, if I test drive and like it, then I just may end up taking it home...

LOL. Nice footage, but lots of inaccuracies. The carbon fiber and the active spoiler are a tribute to the Lexus LFA. Not the IS-F. He was reading everything through a script.

For the vast majority of buyers, it will provide exactly what they want: a respectable car that's comfortable in the real world, yet offers real performance and thrills on track. It's a ton of fun, and one could spend a good long time learning how to extract maximum performance from it.
