Default 2018 RCF now on Lexus site

Well as many already knew...no changes except the larger screen and the addition of the Yellow....which...just does not a "peel" to me ;-) It appears they stopped the color Black and embraced Caviar. I can understand that...2 types of Black colors was odd to me.
I just don't understand how sales have been sluggish for three years and Lexus did not inject more H.P in the 2018 year. Also..no mention of the alleged 10 Anniversary edition...

Lexus never adds power to a refresh for the US market. They only add power on major revisions.

Glad I didn't wait. In July the Stealership said they had zero information on the 2018 model updates. Contacted corporate and they said the same, i.e. they didn't want to tell me. Coming out of a 600 hp vette I too was hoping that the '18' RC F would push power up around the 500 mark in 2018 to offset the weight. This news on the 18s vindicates my decision to roll the dice and pick up a 17 last July.

Header-back exhaust and tune will get you to that mark easily and some CF bits will help with the weight

Now you're singing my song! Already contacted Josh about a Borla CBE and ordered a drop-in filter. Steering clear of warranty conflicts though so the rest of the mods will be aesthetic. Murdered the warranties on my two previous cars with mods but I'll color between the lines on the Lexus.

Why not go all out and do titanium headers and exhaust?
