Some people might think that the Lexus RC-F was built off of a fully developed RC with some modifications done enough to a point to give them the right to call it a performance model....nope. Both the RC and RC-F were develop simultaneously. Add that to your reasons to love Lexus.

Yaguchi tells us that rather than Lexus developing the standard model first and then modifying it to meet performance targets, that the RC and the RC F were developed simultaneously. Each car had its own dedicated development team, but the standard group was given design and construction conditions so as to allow for the F model.

Lexus tells us that a carbon-fiber package will be available, which will include a roof and spoiler made from the lightweight weave, and in certain countries that aren’t abbreviated “U.S.,” a carbon-fiber hood.
