Rear Torque Vectoring Differential is not standard!! For me this is the redeeming value for its weight. And I have to pay extra or move to the Carbon type to get it. If this Carbon Model is priced at 80k or higher, hello M4 or GT-R for me.

memory seats for F Sport lol, heating/ventilated seats standard on RC350

so you have to get the carbon package to get the torque vectoring differential. The one to get is the Carbon package

So these are packages, but what about options like adding Radar Cruise? It's not in any of the packages listed here for the RC-F, but the option has been installed on all the show cars.

Yup, I'm surprised with this set up as well. So... I wonder if the non TVD RC-Fs are going to be open differential with eLSD (ala 08-09 IS-F) or with a more basic Torsen differential set-up (ala 10+ IS-F).

AFAIK, there's still no reference from Lexus publications on if the RC-F will be utilizing rear wheel steering like the RC F-Sport...

So no F-sport or RC-F in Starfire Pearl? What kind of shenanigans is that?

If they go back to eLSD, I would not know what to say anymore. The Torsen diff is more acceptable. To me, it will boil down to pricing. I will not spend more than 65K for the performance model and 75K max for the Carbon type. I am basing these on the M4 which I can get for 75K with similar specs as the Carbon variant.

I pre-ordered the Exceed Blue Metallic Carbon Model. Estimated price: around $80K.

The Performance model should baseline at around $70K, but without the TVD.

GTR is not for me--just too many problems. I considered BMW-been there and won't go there again--just too many problems. I am not a Porsche guy.

To each his own...i will anxiously await the late year delivery.

GTRs interior is really dated looking, cant argue with its performance though
