    Rightly, or wrongly, I was told, when I started selling Lexus cars, that Insurance companies in Japan always charged very high premiums on sports cars. One of the definers of a sports car for them was the lack of a back seat. In order to increase sales in this segment, Japanese automakers have been putting in those grocery bag and purse shelves in coupes and calling them back seats for many many decades now.

    Lexus NA V8s are in a class all their own. 💕 Also love the Lexus naming system. RC-F stands for Radical Coupe - Finesse.

    Stitching is blue because blue is their F performance color, same reason the intake manifold is blue.
