"Its too heavy" "Brakes are bad" "Doesnt have much feel" yet the car turns on a dime, stopped from triple digit speeds all day, let the rear loose on command etc. Betcha the track tests paint a different picture when they get their hands on a production car.

Nothing here I didn't expect to see. And yes, I'm extremely disappointed at the heft. It was the first thing on my list of, I hope they get this right. The Veyron and the GTR are the only overweight cars whose performance outshines their massive weight. The IS-F was heavy, and it was compromised by using an existing platform not known for being svelte. The RCF has no excuse for all the weight. I have no doubt the M4 will crush it at the Lightning Lap (if there is one this year).

Looking forward seeing the opinion from someone at Motorweek.

It is the world's fast Lexus production car...reality my friends. It's one h_ll of an engine, and we may be hard pressed to find one of this calibre in the entire class.

I think Autotcar gave a fair review in their video test which was good news, car and advice also gave pretty good review. yes the weight is only an issue on the track but everything else is just fine.

He shut everything off and did not give the RCF a test based on its new technology. That track ride was a joke--a bloody travesty.
I am waiting for the valid tests with Motor Trend and Road and Track.

I have a feeling RC F is a very very solid car, not like the German rivals. That is something that is very important to me, about any product. I prefer a maybe slightly slower car, that will drive in three years just as it did the first day, than have something like a German car that feels like it will fall apart after one year. German cars are like Apple under Tim Cook, overrated.
