When an Lexus "Hydra" Agent states EXPENSIVE...Hmmm...$25K-$30K...

Still Looking Forward To Seeing The Final Product...Tho...

Also available for the 2018 model year are Dynamic Voice Recognition, Enform Wifi, App Suite 2.0, and a larger navigation screen (10.3”). In addition, Atomic Silver and Flare Yellow are offered as two new exteriors colors.

The luxury coupe features Scout® GPS Link with a three-year trial. With the app on the driver’s paired phone, navigation maps and turn-by-turn directions appear on the vehicle’s central display screen. In addition, the 2018 RC F offers Enform Safety Connect that provides emergency calling capability to Lexus Enform response centers, available 24/7/365. And with Enform Services Connect, the RC F can convey its maintenance needs. Using the MyLexusand Beyond mobile app (for iOS devices) or the LexusDrivers.com website, customers can setup push reminders and alerts for maintenance and service issues."
In addition, attached some screenshots of a convo with someone at lexus western area offices regarding the 2018 RCF! Get pumped people!

LOL, what in the world is a 'hydra" agent!? Also, I'm hoping a special edition does get performance upgrades to compensate for it being "more expensive". Special edition with just color changes inside and out will not warrant a price hike! We will see what they do with the RCF lineup soon enough.

Now the real question is will the 10" screen fit 15-17 RCFs?

doesnt matter if it did its on an all new Nav generation as in the new NX. That offers free 4g of wifi a year. Safety connect for 10 years, NX also got standard power folding mirrors. at this point im not a buyer for an 2018.

From what I can see, front intake, lip, rear diffuser and trunk lid.
May be the end of Active Wing to reduce weight.

Hmmm...That'll be Four Lexus cars...Now that Were/Are offered in "Yellow"....IS, LFA, RC-F, and LC (Currently Not for US Market)

About time! I've always felt like the interior of the RC-F needed a better media/nav screen. The current GS nav screen is much better.

Hopefully the 2018 is offers some cool stuff. The bigger screen is a great first start.
