Are we sure the LC won't replace the RC? They seem way too close in shape/form factor (yes some dimensional differences but a low slung coupe), engine, etc. only 25K apart in price...

RCF definitely doesn't compete with the 6-series...it's in the same class as the M4 and C63 and ATS-V.

Disappointing handling with what? Do you own an RC F? My carbon TVD handles like a dream and is much preferred to the torque-induced over steering M4 German. A little understeer is how I like my cars to handle.

i like the LC 500 and am considering it. It's not as track worthy as the RC F, but I doubt that I will track either car.

Here it is holding its own on Nurburgring.
