Lexus RC F Chief Engineer Yukihiko Yaguchi describes the process of developing the RC F's driving characteristics. The RC F was engineered not just for incredible speed, but for maximum driving enjoyment.
Few things on the road have such presence. Coupled with true Lexus characteristics will make the RC a force to be reckoned with both for daily and track.
Notice the headlights have been changed. It has projector headlights (which is a good thing since I was not a fan of those L-shaped LED lights).
I actually really like the L shaped LEDs, it's different from other brands and gives the front fascia a unique look. With the way that lighting tech is going, there's no reason to stick to "round circles" except purely for aesthetic reasons.
The projectors will definitely be base spec, but the LEDs will be an option on the car.
Same. It needs to be on the standard car and not just Carbon package.
I noticed that the RC-F being used for the TVD demonstration has a painted blue roof (I couldn't tell if the rear spoiler was the fixed carbon fiber version or the retractable version). If I remember correctly, the carbon fiber roof, spoiler, and hood (for non-USDM models) will remain unpainted.
On another thread, we also learned that there will be three versions of the RC-F available (at least in places like Madrid). Both the Carbon Package and Luxury package will have the TVD while the standard package will have its own LSD (likely the same Torsen from the IS-F):

I'm assuming that the RC-F featured on this promo is the Luxury package version. Whether or not we'll see this as a USDM model remains to be seen...
