Lexus RC F SPORT Prototype Spotted?

Posted by Kevin on February 12th, 2014

A blue Lexus RC 350 has been spotted in California sporting a covered up fender badge — here a couple more photos:

The coupe is near identical to the standard RC, but look closely at the fender and there’s a piece of blue tape covering up what I would assume is an F SPORT badge:

If this is meant to be a secret F SPORT prototype, why the badge, the different wheels, the Ultrasonic Blue? This barely concealed mystery suggests one thing to me — it shouldn’t be long before we see the actual RC F SPORT.

(Thanks Moto!)

I must say, blue looks really good on the regular RC! An FSPORT grille will look so good on that wide Spindle grille! SO EXCITED! :D

    So I am not the best at it but I tried to photoshop an IS FSPORT grille onto the RC (red). It looks pretty good to me! :)

The real life pictures look fantastic! Personally, I think it's much more striking than it's competition! Can't wait to start seeing them around!

i must say if this is the F sport of the RC then looks wise its no different than normal RC 350 the spindle grille needs a bit more aggression.

    That's definitely not the Fsport model, the Fsport will have a different grille.

The blue looks nice but I'd take one of these in black over the hideous looking Toyota FT-1

I am glad everyone seems to like the RC, personally I think it looks hideous, hopefully the F SPORT makes the front and rear look better.

    I thought it was weird looking at first too, but then I saw the RC and RC-F in real-life. The pictures don't do these things justice. The colors, the lines, the shapes... they all come together superbly. I would recommend giving it a chance to be seen in real-life. =)

I actually think the car looks ugly in these upclose pics.. make the car look awkward. Not the best pics of this car.

    Oddly enough, that must not be the real thing. Even this late in the game I wouldn't expect such a fake F-Sport model, as that has no differences other than color and the "F" badge, from the red RC350 prototype (not a production build) displayed at the auto shows. I can't say I'm 100% right, but that is my general theory. It's a fake!

The exterior is not one of an F-Sport, possibly. I can't see any true differences between the RC350 and this "F-Sport" version. I understand the need to separate F from F-Sport, but this is too insufficient and that "misplaced" F badge has me scratching my head. It seems like bait from Lexus to some third-party, as that is no more than a blue regular RC350 in design.
