Default Refreshed RCF rendering

Hope it looks better in real life.
Otherwise the value of 2015 is going up!

Poor hack job because they took a RC350 and then tried to change it around to make it look like a refreshed RCF. The front hood is all wrong, the fender flares and the rear axle is too narrow. If you look at my RCF picture, you can clearly see the power bulge begins from the sides of the hood and the fender flares, which is completely different from RC350

I saw a pic somewhere on social media of an upcoming Lexus RC 300h with New face lift (possibly 2020). Not sure of the authenticity of the pics but didn't look good at all. Lines were more rounded with less dramatic effects at the hood whereas the rear bumper had angular LC500 lines minus the fancy LC500 tail lights.

Design overall looked very sedate reminiscent of older Toyota styling philosophy.

We might want to hold on to those first generation RCF coupes, Lexus may be going soft again.

Yeah, based on the recent trend of the design language on the new Lexus cars, that might be a strong possibility where Lexus will go more conservative with the styling on the newer cars in an effort to make them less edgy/polarizing and more mainstream.

I also found it odd it had RC350 F Sport wheels

Looks like a prototype design before they decided on the current design!
