Wow. RCF is hot!!!!! Love the CF roof. 460hp V8 (gonna have a MUCH better exhaust note than the M4!). Cf/alcantara interior accents. Amazing (at least in pics) seats. Great stance (love the aggressive and wide rear fenders!).
... And the list can go on! Can't wait to see this in person!

I made the comment earlier in this thread about how certain camera angles in photos make the RC F look different than it will appear in real life, and I've been looking at this car a lot today, recalling the first time I saw the IS F in pics. To me, the bulbous hood, fender vents, gaping bumper, side skirts and exhaust all looked rather garish and choppy in photos...almost like a kit car in some respects. I didn't feel like it looked very good, and that Lexus tried too hard to make it aggressive. All of that changed drastically the first time that I saw the car in person: it was all much neater and more cohesive in the sheet metal than it looks in pictures. The fender vents were subtle, but a good hint of aggression, the hood didn't really grab my attention, and the exhaust looked sinister.
I am expecting something similar with RC F, which makes me very excited. The standard car looks beautiful from pictures and with the F modifications, I have a feeling that it will be a show-stopping stunner, not the chopped up kit car that some on other forums are calling it.

The RCF is a little busy for my taste but still looks very nice.

It was a 9.5/10 minus the grill and a 7/10 including the grill initially. Now it's jumped to like an 8.5/10 (including the grill) after letting the pictures settle in and seeing the videos.

I think the most exciting thing about this is that you really feel like you're part of the era where Lexus is starting to forge its way into the luxury sports car segment. We've lived through the debut of the ISF, the LFA, and now here we have the RCF. I can only imagine that the 2nd and 3rd generations of these cars will become better and better. It's exciting to actually live through that process. It's like following a basketball team that finally made the playoffs one year, then made it to the 2nd round the next year, etc. etc.
