Default Rcf : 4,2 sec. On o-100km/h.


First time I see less than 4.5 sec time on RCF from 0 to 100 Km/h.
On the video seems to be disconnected the Traction Control.
Starting at 0 km/h on 0 seconds time, but accelerating so fast until 2 seconds, when the Carrera S MKII using "Launch Control", matches the RCF.

I feel like my RCF does the 0-60 faster than the 4.4 time. I have raced a tuned 335i fbo, cla45 amg tuned, mustang 5.0, and a 2017 m3. I have never lost one friendly race. I work around cars and meet a lot of people and do go on a friendly race time to time .

This is 0-62 mph (100 km/h). The tested 0-60 mph for RCF has been 4.3 seconds (C&D, MT, R&T). 0 - 100 km/h of 4.2 seconds means a 0-96 km/h (60 mph) would be 4.0 - 4.1 seconds.

Though, I dislike how the transmission short shifts in D mode. That is why I use M mode and let it fully rev out to use the full powerband and also to let the rpm drop higher in next gear.

Exactly
0-60 MPH ...... 4,05 SEC. with D Mode.

Many European reviews are giving 0,2 sec more for 0-100 km/h ( 4,7 sec.) even when Lexus claims 4,5 sec.
Here, the reality is that is even 0,3 faster than rated by Lexus.

Traction and launch method is the key. If you watch the video in slow motion, he used brake torqueing from 1900 rpm, traction control off. He seemed to hook up right away without any wheel spin. Sport+ drive and TVD in normal mode.
