Lexus RC-F GT86 with a V8?
I haven't found the exact dimensions of the RCF, but looks mighty like Toyota slapped in a V8 and nice trim onto our chassis. The doors and trunk appear the same. Anyone else have thoughts on it? Am I seeing things?

I thought I was seeing things when I was seeing images of the Jag F type coupe too... (my new dream car) and its resemblance at least in profile.

It's a much bigger vehicle. Different Chassis. The Lexus RC is kind of a blend between the IS & the GS and it fits inbetween in dimensions.
Here is some of the technical info on RC-F (courtesy of Lexus Enthusiast): Horsepower More than 450 hp Torque More than 383 lb.-ft. Transmission Eight-speed Sports Direct Shift (SPDS) Seating Capacity 4 Overall Length 185.2 in. (GT86=166.7in.) Width 72.8 in. (GT86=69.9in.) Height 54.7 in. (GT86=50.6in.) Wheelbase 107.5 in. (GT86=101.2in.) Driven Wheels Rear Wheel Drive Curb Weight Targets less than 3,968 lbs. (GT86=~2806lbs) Brake Type Four-wheel power assisted disc brakes (Brembo manufactured for Lexus) with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA) Wheel size (front and rear) Fr 19” x 9” Rr 19” x 10” Tires size Fr 255/35/19 Rr 275/35/19 0 – 60 mph Targets faster than IS F Top speed Estimated 168 mph (electronically limited) MPG (City/Hwy/Comb.) Targets better than IS F Platform (courtesy of Car & Driver): The RC F will make use of the same humble architecture as does the IS350 F Sport and the standard IS, which is a truncated version of the GS’s underpinnings. The IS’s double-A-arm front suspension and multilink rear setup will have spent a substantial amount of time at the Nürburgring being optimized in order to match the times of the RC F’s German competition. See here for more on RC-F http://lexusenthusiast.com/2014/01/1...he-lexus-rc-f/ Lexus RC Chassis GT86 Chassis I know that in the automotive sector chassis can be the same without looking the same in skeleton, but these images illustrate what has been said. It is a complete different platform, that shares no internal bits. Last edited by FiRStsc10n; 04-08-2014 at 09:53 PM. |

I'm on the Lexus forums too and they talk about nothing but the RC right now. The RC has the same chassie as the GS's. I don't really see a whole lotta FR-S in there though to be honest....

Hello! I'm not an expert in all this yet, but I'm interested in such questions. I esteem your opinions, I think it will come in handy.

I had someone try to convince me that the RC was a rebadged 86. No matter how much I tried to refute the claim I could not convince them.

I consider the RC-F the medium brother vs. the FT86 being the little brother, and then the LFA is the big brother. And the Supra is like the distant cousin. I can see certain aesthetic characteristics that are similar between these four cars, especially with the front of the LFA and then the side profiles of the Supra or RC-F compared to our cars.

They might have similar design philosophy but my admittedly short time with the rc did not remind me of my brz at all

Supposedly the same design team that worked on the LFA for years was also the one that designed our cars and re-implemented a lot of LFA design traits. Not sure about the RC-F though.
