Hmmmm..... the carbon ceramic brakes will quickly add 8k to 9.5k to the price. Am guestimating minimum 25k premium when it's all said and done. MSRP US$95,000 EASILY.

This is not my experience at all with PS 4S on my IS F. They chatter like a squirrel on meth when making a u-turn at anything below 45F. I put A/S3+ in stock sizes on stock wheels this winter just for that reason, and they actually work a lot better in cold weather.

Hehe, never experience anything below 45F here in sunny southern California.

I guess there is still a threshold below which those summer tires will begin to chatter. The super sports were busy anywhere below 65F whereas 4S low 50F and still good.

I wouldn't say that either. I've had at least three sets of PSS, and none of them chattered nearly as bad as the PS 4S in the cold. I ran PSS all winter with only minor annoyances. PS 4S came off in October. I couldn't stand the noise.

I think 95 would be a decent price. I honestly couldn't find any under 78k when I got mine over a year ago, then it jumped to 90 with just the additional CF package. My guess is 125k. You'll still have the new 2020 base RC F which will still clock in around 80-90k.

I don't think the track edition should be priced more than the LC500, but maybe around the same ballpark of the RCF 10th Anniversary Edition. If LEXUS markup the Track Edition to $125K they would have to give significant discounts at that price (assuming there isnt that much interest).

Now on the other hand the 2021 LCF can totally be justified for $125K

I think LC F will be much higher, i'm thinking 150 at least.

Hopefully won’t be too steep. I’d scoop up the whole oem kit possibly.

Think I am going to sell my 2017, which is already paid off, and go for the track edition. I don't tract the car, but to have a car that will be discontinued and possibly the first tract edition car from lexus, it will appreciate hopefully

Curious of pricing on existing RC F for Lights (Front and Rear) along with Bumpers Front and Rear. This should pretty much bring our model current outside of side mirrors.

I don't know much about factory parts from Lexus. I do recall a couple dealerships back when I had a 2015 infiniti who helped with modifications and OEM parts/pricing. Specifically when I upgraded my body parts to IPL pieces similar to what we would be doing here. It really wasn't crazy expensive, but are there any dealerships for Lexus that are involved on forums and OEM Pieces?

Our current headlights from the dealership run a couple thousand a piece so I'm sure you can imagine or ballpark how expensive the upgrade would be.

That is not true anymore, the f sports appear to have the exact same headlight housing as the 2020 RCF, so i imagine the production will be much higher than previous triple beam headlights.

As far as I can tell they're the same as the new F Sports

Same goes for tail lights, already out on new F sport and base model.

I bet you that titanium exhaust is a Tom's exhaust, suspension could potentially be Tom's too.
My weight reduction is already on course to the track edition. Also, funny how much this old computer generated rendition looks almost identical to the track edition:
