Default First (?) real-world pics

Just saw these on Facebook.

As usual - much nicer look than the press photos.

Ride height looks fine too for those that were concerned it was going to look like it was on stilts

FSport wish list
- Ultrasonic Blue
- Burnt Orange
- 19" standard wheels
- LFA dash (like ISFsport)
- suspension/braking enhancements
- RC F style front end/grille
- and for the love of Pete..don't lose the fogs

totally agree that this is an FSport model... The RC-F will have quad exhaust and the appropriate badging and brakes correct?

I'm luving this car. It's awesome. But I want to know, what is the purpose of the vents on the rear bumper near the exhaust?

First, I'm not sure I want a car that's "sick," as I don't want to catch any automotive maladies. Secondly, the blue looks spectacular. Finally, the "vents" at the back on the rear bumper near the exhaust (which are not on the F-Sport version) serve the same purpose as the wings on the back of the batmobile: they make it go about 20mph faster, especially while it's parked.

I think the overall design of the RC-F looks very good and is way ahead of the other coupes out there right IMHO however if here was one weakness it has ...... it's theses rear vents
