[QUOTE=Joe Z;8299441]The RCF is slatted for the updated V8 pushing 460HP... (per leaked media evite site)
(Still waiting for the new motor designation)
Man, this is top choice to pick RC-F vs future Supra ?! Both will hit the market for test drive in a year or two time frame. Damn, can't wait to swap my 350 for one of these wkend duo; Awesome

That pic from Best Car is either a very, very good photoshop job or the real thing...I am betting the real thing. It has all of the styling cues we've seen so far and seems very fluid.
Judging by that picture, something about that front end isn't quite working for me. There seems to be more mesh than sheet metal, and with an array of sharp lines everywhere. It might look better in other pics, or in person...just not really loving it from what we've seen so far.
Looks like there is a pic of the back end there, but it was blurred out. Any way to recover that?

DETROIT AUTO SHOW: LEAKED! FIRST FULL Image Of The Lexus RC F Snapped From Far East Publication — Is This IT?
http://www.autospies.com/news/DETROI...This-IT-79505/
In recent weeks we've been following the chatter over what Lexus is going to be unveiling at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show (NAIAS).
Obviously it's going to be an F model, as evidenced by the teaser shots of a blue mean machine sporting an "F" badge.
Then came evidence of e-invites sent out to VIPs about an event that will let buyers get up close and personal with the all-new RC F on January 14 after the media days are over. Oh, and the website with the event's registration that we linked you to. The text of the website was changed to make it more vague but the damage had been done.
Even more revealing was the physical, hard copy invite that said the V8 motor under the RC F's hood will be producing 460 horsepower. That's more than enough get up and go, assuming that the torque figure isn't too far off that 460 mark.
Now we've got the best scoop yet: the FIRST complete image of the RC F.
Splashed across the Club F Facebook page, it's very clear that a Far East publication had access to the photos for a glossy magazine. You'll note there are more photos of the RC F that have been obscured and on the opposite page is the standard RC, of course, blurred out.
That said, we're pretty confident this is it. This doesn't appear to be a rendering and the details all line up with the teaser shots.

From the latest MT... "While the RC Coupe bears a strong resemblance to the IS sedan, it shares a platform with the larger GS sedan." 3.5 V6 and 2.5 Hybrid will be available.
Not for me. The front end has not grown on me yet.
