So has anyone actually read the article?

Beneath the styling, the RC-F gets tough. It’s built on a version of the Lexus IS platform, and the wheelbase has been made 2.8 inches shorter to match the 107.5-inch wheelbase of the outgoing IS-F sedan. The RC structure mixes high-strength steel, laser screw welding, and structural adhesives for optimum rigidity, while the F gets further structural braces for even more strength. Overall weight distribution is balanced toward the front, and it is not a bad strategy because it gives the car a surer sense of direction when the speedometer numbers start to get scary. The weight target is a rather husky 3970 pounds.
