I spoke with a sales manager there about RC-F and he said all they know is that it's slated to be in dealerships before next December's To Remember promo and that it will def be using same motor as our cars just "tweaked" to 460hp and it will have LFA style rear wing that raise up and down. He also said a GS-F and LS-F are confirmed down the road and GS-F will use twin turbo V-6 and LS-F will use twin turbo V-8. Will be interesting to see how many of his statements are actually true.
Interesting was at the dealership getting some service done. I was talking with Master Tech who's been with Lexus for over 20 he's one of the only 12 Master techs in the US that are authorized to work on the LFA he has a very good inside track into Lexus. When I explained I was interested in In RCF he told me to hold off, that GSF from what he understand was going to be twin turbo v8 using 2UR GSE, that they were currently having issues with the turbo setup that they were trying to resolve. So will it be a twin turbo v6 or twin turbo v8? v6 twin turbo setup probably make between 420hp and 460hp knowing Lexus since they're so conservative, v8 should be making around 550 mark which is where they need to be if they want to be competitive with the m5,SL 63 AMG and S8. If they go with v6 TT , i see that targeting more S6 TTand S7 TTaudi's, CTS V sport TT. They would make the LS F to compete against the M5 and SL 63 and you would be looking at a car probably close to 100 K

If they can "tweak" the motor to 460hp, then we should be able to do the same
Looks awesome, I agree with the alcantara steering wheel comment.
Otherwise it's a nice series of upgrades. Not a fan if the "f" on rear headrests, should've left the fronts only, it would be BMW M3-esque that way. With all the headrests it's too much...
