@TheStraightPipes Great Review
nice car indeed
When you guys do test drives lexus LFA
The induction sound from that V8 is so iconic. I feel like this, the LC500 and IS500 are gonna be the last of their kind. I don't see this V8 being viable in 3-5 years time. It was fun while it lasted.
its truly intoxicating. i drove an ISF and never forgot it.
unless they make the new once hybrid and keeping the v8 that whould be awesome ..
That's why I'll be getting an IS500 if I can get it for the right price
@@danielfield7986 IS500 is just an IS with the V8 though, you'd be much better off with an actual F car.
@@MrRandomTwat Actually the LS500 is a much bigger car with maximum cab space. The ISF is available with a similar 5.0 liter V8 offered here with the RCF. I prefer my LS 460 to the new twin turbo V6 all day.
I daily my 2015 RCF and absolutely love it... has the performance package and the TVD makes such a difference in feel.
Same here! I've had it for only 6 months but I'm in love. Almost added 10k miles already.
I daily a 2011 sentra se r spec v get recked😎😎😎
I daily mine as well. Two years of ownership. Never gets tired of it. Keeping it for a long long time
@@slowspecv69 lmaoooooooo
Are you guys hair stylist?
Being able to visually experience all these beautiful car is amazing. Where do these people find the energy to hit dislike. Keep dropping these videos
Haters gonna hate. We had fun 🤙
@@TheStraightPipes the dislike gang needs to publicly stoned 😂
Isn't this the car where they made the air compressing, lighter air conditioning weighter less?
You know it!
@@hagaras82030 Got the Merch, have the receipt.
I want that shirt so bad
@@blurryfacetm3616 Be sure to subscribe to the extra channel. I heard they are reviewing vacuum cleaners so they can clean up after shaggy shedding dogs. Bring back the Rex test.
what?😂
I like how the traction control off symbol in the dash is of a car hitting another car lol. Lexus knew this thing slides around like it’s on ice.
I’m sure it’s insanely fun to drive but at that price I’d rather just get the LC500.
Same, no way I’d pay 90k for this
Completely different cars. LC500 is a GT car, F cars are sports cars.
One thing I feel that the LC will depreciate more than the track edition, but if you’re never planning on selling it and just wanna drive it anywhere then definitely the LC
@@s.z.x.01 yay now it’ll be even more affordable
Nah you get an AMG
The rcf isn’t for everybody. But it is for me ! Plus-the seats are some of the most comfortable I’ve ever been in
Lexus Track Edition means for me, it´s a perfect Track cruiser.
Track cruising is fun but with the odd hot lap
It sure is nice to see your Sub numbers jumping now that you both have hit a million, here is to the steady climb to 10 mill and thank you Lexus for showing us your car because this is the finest review I have seen.
18:30 The Straight Pipes about to drop the hottest album of the year.
Our secret short lived modelling career
I love my RCF it’s either you know what it is or you just don’t and I love that it’s also rare to see one I’d rather pay 90k for a car you don’t really see around then to pay 90k for a vehicle to see often or at every car meet there is. JMO
Dude I’m saying ! You hit the nail on the head. The rcf isn’t for everyone. It’s ONLY for Toyota enthusiasts. It’s a pure Toyota with a Toyota engine and a Toyota soul. Nothing borrowed ! Love the heck out of my rcf. I daily it and it never gets old !!!
I'm happy that you guys got to drift this.
Same
I feel like this car stands for "really cool and fast" lol
RC Stands for Radical Coupe.
N reliable
Perfect vehicle for a Madmax apocalyptic world. Fast and Reliable!
That would be the 97 camry if it's in the madmax world lol
except your fuel reserves
I need to be friends with someone like you two are, that,s what i enjoy the most in your videos, the talking, discussion etc love it
Nice! A stand alone RCF review. Great job as always guys! 👍🏻👍🏻
"I didn't like lexus until the lc500" this cat just said he doesn't like the lfa 😂
LFA is so rare that even most car reviewers haven't driven it.
Lol I dont think he was counting that
@@wileoutunorthodox3479 how does your mind not immediately go to the lfa when talking about lexus
@@chasetingley1172 well for one it was only out for 2 years, most cars guys dont even know about it, I love the Lfa but when I think of Lexus I think ISF, LS 400, staples of Lexus. The LFA is such an elusive supercar that some people dont count it
@@wileoutunorthodox3479 any car guy should know about the best thing ever to come out of Japan but ight
I paused game 5 of the finals when this hit my inbox lol.

Why this comment is 5 days old but the video came out few minutes ago 🤔
@@firsfnamelastname8490 it was uploaded early for the member of the channel who have a paide subscription we get it late.. 😅
@Christine Arnold WTF THATS SO OUT OF CONTEXT..
typical promotion
That NA V8 sounds SO good. Wicked car
I love it! Thanks for the exciting review
2UR-GSE, the king.
Seems like a car for people who want to look like they go to the track.
I love how yuris reaction to jacob suggesting the matte wrap😂😂😂 hes like bruh why would you say that ofc you could do that🤣
With those wheels, I find myself wanting to make jokes about skipping leg day.
ikr? they don’t fit at all lol
Smaller wheels perform better for track use
A Toyota rep came by with one of these in white at a track day we were doing near Toyota HQ and the contrast with the carbon fiber and the white body made this car look gorgeous
It looks like fun, but if I had the money, I'd get a preowned Audi R8 V10. I drove one on Sunset in L.A. and it destroys corners.
911
Gt3rs
@@1ce2berg 🤮
It's cars like this that motivate me to work hard to eventually get one of these lol
A stiff suspension doesn't actually put power down? Never heard that before.
I think lexus took two different routes at the 100k price point; one side being their ultimate Grand Touring vehicle, and the other side, their current, ultimate track car
Well said. But the best part is The rcf will live a long and prosperous/reliable life amongst all competitors. I love the lc500 but when it came down to owning one of the two. I chose the rcf
I saw this irl, i couldnt take my eyes off it
Which ones better this model or the OG RCF
@@genieofdalamp I prefer the newer facelifted ones
@@AudiRSAvant Much better looking indeed
Happy that you guys got to drift the car -- I can drive through you guys vicariously!
This is why I only buy rear drive cars. For my taste RWD is more fun.
Wow I wake up so early today! Love that V8 sound
"Because the M4 is disgusting" lol 😆
Looking forward for you to test drive the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing! V8 668hp with a manual transmission option!!
Love the specs. Looks are challenging...
Appreciate your compliment..for more guidance WhatsApp.....+:::1:::9:::0:::3:::3:::4:::1:::9:::7:::8:::3::
After 2 head-to-head comparison, RC-F Track Edition finally got it's own in depth review.
RC F track edition 👍👌😎
Lexus would be my go to if I want a nice luxury car for a decent price
Am curious how a Lotus would compare to this
those drone shots are freaking cool!!! just those gaps without seeing the actual car are bit of pain.
I see Straight Pipes video, I LIIIIIKE.
Not that I'm their target demo, but I would DEF go Lexus over BMW here. Just because I think that engine is cool.
Toyota/Lexus👌👌👌
it looks like an 86/frs/brz bigger meaner brother. i approve. N/A too.
These cars are nice but with limited production and highly priced no ones gonna track these cause if they break it not easy to get them replaced
Replaced ? It’s a Lexus it shares parts with a shit ton of other cars lol.
Спасибо за обзор! Thx for review! Hello from Kazakhstan.
I agree with the calipers. Red definitely is for the fast sport version of a vehicle, but you need something else for the version above that like this car is. It should be blue, matching the blue that's on the engine at 7:46.
Lexus already has the blue and orange calipers for other F models, red is special for this track edition.
You might have to short-shift out of first gear before the variable valve lift kicks in (@ 5,000 rpms give or take). Short-shift out of first and full send into second might net the best launches on an un-prepped drag surface. Otherwise, stand by for smoke lol.
There is no variable lift on the 2URGSE engines. Only variable timing aka cam phasing or cam degreeing to retard or advance.
That transmission thing is how all Toyota feel!
This is going to look great with new wheels
I need that engine in my 86 🥶
people AREN'T buying it for 120K CAD.
Y'all sure are getting your money's worth from those drone shots xD
jacob was on point today
i am really hyped
Wow ! Awesome feelings of fun to drive.....
Great video!!! I hope you will be able to do a review on a non track edition one day !
Hehe. Reliable.
Harris Hill SCCA track night in June, and an rcf was the only car that died and had to be towed off the track. And there were a lot of old bombs.
Yet still no b58 went 400kmiles clown saw the same video 😂😂😂
@@truckingjamaicans5045 Maybe rcf not made for go fast
Lexus should rename it to LIMITED edition so track guys won't hate it
RC-F vs Camaro SS 1LE?
I want one of these sooooo bad and a gsf in ultrasonic blue
The red carpeting makes it a bit much for my taste. The fact we can’t get the track edition in black in the U.S. is disappointing. Other than that, it’s amazing! I have an IS F. This motor has proven itself since 2007. I might consider an LC500 in the future.
OMG that side-mirror shake when they closed the door, quality going down Lexus ?
6:15 from the side it kinda looks like they welded the new BRZ/GT86 (2022) with the previous ones (yes, old is GR86 I know I know) and made it bigger.
No point being made just an observation
seems like more of a competition with the c63 rather than m4 m3
still better than throttle house
Wonderful car!
0:50 the best sounding naturally aspirated V8*
I agree 100 percent. Beautiful sound. And reliable af
@14min You guys are talking about how it feels like the transmission shifts and feels like it shifts again before taking off - I have a RCF and it was killing me, I was thinking how can it shift again but the gear doesn’t change. After a lot of research I found it is the torque converter fully locking. Apparently, a feature of this transmission is that it fully locks around 2k in every gear but 1st. They must have programmed the car to dip the fuel or something right before locking up to reduce wear or something? Who knows, but now that I know I have been able to avoid all of that by downshifting an extra gear to keep the revs up or just be conscious that if the revs drop below 2k or so I will have a dip in acceleration if I need to take off quickly.
Just priced this out in Canada ... it's more like CAD$142,131.87 and that's cash payment which includes the track package and taxes, etc. Kinda pricey when you also add in the fact that it's gonna need premium fuel at a top dollar. Only the rich it seems ...
The front end gives me vibes of the 2010' Actyon or QX80
Take this as a long term tester
Question…this or a last of the line ISF?
I'd go isf since I had one and love sedans - Jakub
@@TheStraightPipes Me and you both, I had one too Jakub. You follow me on insta, I’ve sold my I30N and I’m after another as I miss it so much!
The weight is enslaving this rather awesome car....
Eater egg. The pattern in the clock face is the same pattern you'll find inside the headlights of an LC500 and you'll find it nowhere else in the Lexus line up
Definitely felt what Yuri mentioned about the RCF. I love the RCF compared to the other german counterparts.
This car would have been good if it came out 3 years ago, now it's just old looking even if it is a 2021 model. The entire IS/RC line up has been around for way too long.
Dream car.
No wonder Lexus want their version of GR86/BRZ .
i dont think it will happen, there isnt much proof and, 86 bros are being built in Subaru factory which isnt very Lexus
Tires are extendable
I’d personally go the mustang Mach 1 for less but this car is still amazing
Thanks for comment, you can consult my support team for assistance and further detailed information < *W•H•A•T•S•A•P•P•* > (+1
Don't like the headlights, but decent i guess
❤❤❤❤❤ the new rcf
Just soooooo overpriced... from $65k to $100k USD for weight reduction, better brakes, and some extra rice on the outside with the same exact power.
GET ITTTTTTTT
For the similar price , I would get the Nissan GTR if I had the money .
I'm with Yuri, IS350 AWD....yuck. Great review!
You can price out a LC500 w/performance pack for cheaper, nobody should be buying this 2010 model before a LC
Not only that, this should have a supercharger and AWD :(
@@foam27.... why would it be AWD and supercharged? Use your fucking brain lol
@@foam27 Please never talk about cars.
Would love to watch you guys review Haval Jolion 🥵
Why are you saying you'll never get one used? Are they hard tofind used?
There’s 3 for sale in Canada
These cars don't belong anywhere but old people's garage's
I'm old and I have one.
Things I hate about it are:
No manual transmission
Sounds like a grandmother's car.
Not fun to drive
This is not a Shelby guys.
This is a beautiful luxury car.
Love it
"For a rear wheel drive track car this thing is fun"
add 0-60 mph section !!
100k for Mustang GT performance. ITS A JOKE. Lexus is laughable. Same motor from the 2008 ISF. WEAK
crazy car
SInce LExus called this a TRACK Edition, how are the laptimes?
You should see imsa gt3, this thing can beat cars with much more horsepower.
I love Lexus can’t wait to get one in 5-10 years 😂😂
This car would still be worth at least 30k lol just look at the IS F. It’s average price rn goes for 25-35k
