You guys think the RC-F will be more rewarding to drive than an M3?

I sort of hope so, but I just don't see it.

I'd hope so since it will be considerably more money.

The LFA was not really light weight compared to an MP4-12C, yet is a "better" car. The LFA is of the the best cars ever built. The last version of IS-F, while heavier and having an auto transmission, was as fast, if not faster than an M3 E9X. The RC-F will have more power, similar torque, better response, better sound and better handling due to torque-vectoring diff and rear-wheel steering. TRD will surely improve on it also.

I'm completely enamored with this car. If the price for the base RC is around 40k as rumored, it might be my next car.

I know the RCF is out of my price range for sure, but I like even the base model, which Ive read from another Lexus employee should start around 45k.

I really want the F Sport which that same guy said should start around 51k. Still a bit high in price, but Im going to try to swing it once my lease is up.

Keep us updated!

Are the Toyota cars still using the 3SGTE? Or new design now?

TRD_86 · 04-07-2014, 03:12 AM

it's a new engine 2.0 turbo ~500hp replace the old SC engine. This new engine sound amazing just like F1. Some rumor said lexus/Toyota will bring this engine to their next lexus production car. Hopefully it will be in the next IS/RC line up.

Edit: nvm...

TRD_86 · 04-07-2014, 04:23 AM

Brz debut GT300 last season which is too top for them. I predict BRZ try to hanging there for this season again.

I can't see that happening - emissions would neuter the engine...
Would be cool thought

FiRStsc10n · 04-07-2014, 01:06 PM

In the pre-qualifying all 6 Lexus RC-Fs had the fastest times. Beastly.

Just sounds like every other turbo four, really. The F1 engines are rather disappointing as well.
