Might just be hot off the press… working on desktop for me but not mobile.

Works for me. Notice F Sport springs are now an accessory. Wild….

Very nice video, but I wonder a bit about the timing of the video… Is the RCF getting a “send off” soon or…?

Next year will be the last of the IS/RC I'm thinking.

IIRC it was 2024/2025 so we'll see.

RCF GT3 footage with pure 2UR sound without any insulation. In case someone catches, the rev limiter is lowered to about 6600 - 6700 rpm due to air restrictors limiting power capped out at 500 HP for this class.

Another video of the 2015 RCF (exterior conversion to 2020+ RCF) taking part in Touge time attack. This RCF is actually his daily driver as well:

Really need a CF lip spoiler. On my to-do list. Car is back out of hibernation.

He was driving in SPORT mode where AVS is in soft setting. He never went into SPORT+ mode, which has everything in the most aggressive settings. Also, what's up with the owner putting H&R springs? RCF has no available H&R springs option. They list only IS350 on their site. Looks like the owner screwed up the suspension as only IS350 F-Sport has the option of H&R springs available so probably the owner bought used some IS350 lowering springs and put them on an RCF when RCF is supposed to have 40% higher OEM spring rates.
