Probably the only car on the leaderboard that will run flawlessly 10 yrs from now.
Your polarized glasses made it look purple but to all of us with normal color vision, it’s BLUE.
Exactly! LOL
Maybe he's color blind?
Smoke signals: the way to communicate with the people!!!
PS: It’s a Lexus, V8 multiplied by Toyota’s Reliability.
Its Blue! Remove your Blue blocker sunglasses Roman.
I Love V-8 sound and torque.
Ikr. Totally blue intake runners?
Blurple?
Rebadge this to Supra, drop in a twin turbo v6 and I bet this body style would sell better. I personally like the look as is...
I wouldn't buy a V6tt engine. Just look at how bad the new Lexus LS is doing going to V6 instead of V8
In a week we get the 2020 RC F Track Edition debut. Can't wait!
LEXUriouS Kirk I KNOW RIGHT!!!!
@@johnjohn3241 I'll be covering it on my channel (remotely of course) next week, if you want to join in on the impressions!
@Latvietis96 nope. M4 inches out (barely beats) the current rcf. This rcf will be the 2nd fastest Lexus ever.
@@kto0312 the BMW will live in the shop also! Lol😂🤣
UA-cam "Bmws catching on fire" world wide, BMW have a class action lawsuit against them because they are spontaneously combusting!🇺🇸🇯🇲🌴☀️🌴
@LEXUriouS Kirk Hello just curious will Lexus remodel the head lights for the RCF soon??
i really like the car but just cant stand the head lights for the RCF....
this year (2019) they did remodel the RCs so im assuming they will remodel the RCF soon ??
I will cry if they get rid of the V8, I mean just keep it and add a supercharger on it or turbos but just keep the V8 or tune it to have more power and keep it naturally aspirated either way it will be extremely sad to see LEXUS get rid of the V8.
I can't confirm this. But I'm pretty sure I read something about the inevitable switch to twin turbo v6. But take that with a grain of salt eh.
No, keep it naturally aspirated.
I’ll take Lexus over any BMW any days
Lol Roman is color blind so electric blue
3 years in and the car is still fun to drive.
We love ours.
I am so proud of Lexus!........they came a long way.😊👍🏽🇺🇸🇯🇲🌴☀️🌴
Junior Lexus they’ve always been doing good.
@@jonnybones6952 I am talking about their sports cars coming a long way!....we all know that they do luxury and reliability good.🇺🇸🇯🇲🌴☀️🌴
Word, and that is a for sure right on.
@@godshoto8389 real talk!👍🏽🇯🇲🇺🇸🌴☀️🌴
Great car, get one while you can. I have a feeling that this will be a highly sought after Lexus in the coming years. They are an absolute bargain in the CPO or used market. Way over priced new, but now that they are a few years old, it's a total buy!
Yes bro ur rite.like all toyota cars van pickups.ppl always wnt then.and these lexus v8 467hp no turbo best v8 ever made by the king toyota.
Got one $30K off list a couple of years old. Reliable, beautiful and FUN!
5:09 looks like the tire was about to peel off of the rim.
WxGuy another worst trend in modern cars
Low profiles.
that honestly freaked the hell outta me!
Anderson Rodriguez that’s normal in low profile performance tires chill
Sadly, Lexus will eventually replace that V8 with the v6 twin turbo engine used in the new LS 500. This might the last year they use that V8.
no , they will have v8 4.0 twin turbo , around 550 or 600 hp
Sure.
They are officially using a twin turbo v8 for the LCF and it's actually going to be north of 600hp which is awesome .
ua-cam.com/video/zZw5pAbqPmg/v-deo.html here's a preview of it
Put this power plant in the LS! Call it a LSF.
I LOVE the RCF 🤤
Such a unique and epic looking car. Easily one of the best looking cars on the market. Would take this over the M4 and C63. Ton of car for the money. Perfect blend of luxury comfort and high performance. There’s just so much little details on this car. Just love it. Lexus is doing it right 💯. There’s a RC GT track model coming out and can’t wait to see how much this track model is compared to this standard car.
@Latvietis96 nope. It's not
k o yes they are
@@gavcom4060 Being that I own them. I'm speaking from experience. What about you?
Not the c63 hell no but the RC is nice far as looks
C63 is a beast, a pricey beast though. But way above this segment “Lexus RCF” reviewed here.
Ride, performance, & luxury, but unfortunately price as well. But apples for apples stay with Mercedes unless this is just your cup of tea.
Look at the Mercedes E 450 4 Matic+ Sedan with 3.0L V6 Bi-Turbo. You will have a lot more car for the bang in all categories.
People gotta stop complaining about 0 to 60 times and realize they were in a REALLY high altitude for making this test and this is not a wack twin turbocharged or supercharged with dual clutch and AWD.
This is REAR WHEEL DRIVE NATURALLY ASPIRATED V8 damn it.
But I do think this car could be lighter just saying.
What it lacks in speed....it definitely makes up in sound and style.
If Toyota can do this, they can build their own Supra. Just saying.
Still my realistic dream car.
Looks blue to me
wish they were lighter tho... other than that I love them
I had a BMW and lived in service centers with bored housewives.
I have RCF and I sure miss the housewives but my wallet is full. Lol
Never going back
Love this car
This is the engine Toyota should have put in the 2019 Supra. The BMW source 3.0L I6 is a disappointment.
As a 50-year car enthusiast this is the first Japanese car that appeals to me. Perhaps Japan's first real Pony Car.
Well said. It’s a rare treat having a Toyota V8 presented in such a way. It will be a collectors item soon
Love this car. wanted to buy one but the infotainment system really bummed me out with that ancient trackpad.
ast0nv8 i have 0 complaints with the infotainment on my rc350. The only thing we use 99% of the time is playing music. How hard can it be to turn the music on? Lol
I think this is one of the best cars on the road today. I bet it will still rip the same with 150k on it as well.
From the track times, it seems this car is sitting on top of the list from the point where all the track focused and most hardcore versions of other cars have ended. Sitting just below those cars is some feat. Not to mention that this car is probably a better proposition in terms of quality, reliability, comfort, practicality and even rarity (like that v8). Great car!
FACTS
Michelin cup tires would have made the times closer to the top.
This is what the Supra should be … Toyota should add this to the line-up as a Celica at the very least
These guys are always against toyotas. Because they beat the hell shit out of fords and chevys in resale, reliability, and all the above
One of these went flying by me yesterday at well over 100 mph. Now I want one too! 😢
I'd buy this over the BMW Supra...
MSRP of $78k though.
get it used. 40k
LOVE watching Paul work! :) Now for the Hot Laps with the Samurai and the new Wrangler! :D
I love this car! Plenty of power for me on the streets of LA. Puts my head back against the seat every time I'm flooring the gas pedal at the canyon. Looks are subjective but I've had this car since it came out and still looks fantastic to me. 2 complains I have about this car. First, the outdated infotainment system. It is older than the dinosaurs! Second, the exhaust sound. It is extremely tamed with the factory exhaust system. I replaced it with a Borla catback exhaust system. It purred but now it roars! What a huge difference. Understandably, Lexus caters to the conservative buyers so they muted the V8.
Man as much as I love these. The depreciations on these are no joke. Brand new 80k loaded. Used only $45-50k.
tigerbiterhater isn’t that good for people who don’t want to pay top dollar? 🤷♂️
Lol yeah that’s a deal, soon people will figure out..
Dont see much on the road people stuck on mustang challenger and camaro
Just screwing up cars that 's what burn outs do stupid teenage stuff . Shame on you.
Really wish they didn't do these acceleration tests a mile above sea level... its great for truck tests, but not so much for cars.
That is so stupid to do these test above sea level!.....normally the car would go 0-60 in 4.3 seconds.
Junior Lexus it’s not their faults that they LIVE THERE
@@gavcom4060 do the test somewhere else....the cars aren't stationary like houses they are mobile!🇺🇸🇯🇲🌴☀️🌴
Thank you for giving this car an honest shot. For a while there, the narrative of hate overshadowed its true genius.
Really hot and very fast too it is all so my Dream car
That dude can drive,wow.
U
Lexus is one of the most reliable cars and I'm saying this from my experience
TURBO and Supercharged cars will have better times than any NA car period when at high altitudes. So all they're non analytical testing you see here may be fine for where they live but have to take with a grain of salt. Not just RCF but GT350 Mustange , GS Corvette, SS Camaro all of these NA car will lose power at High altitudes. Do these same test at see level where most of population live in this country and all these numbers change drastically.
After research I've concluded that the purple on the intake runners and orange on the brakes does indeed keep them cool... this is why Paul's helmet is also orange and purple 🤪
I doubt that
Facts
My dream car
These cars sound sooooooo much better with exhaust!!! This one sounded a little over muffled. Cool car though!!
For a v8 it sounds awful compared to it's competition M cars and AMG. I looked into this or an M4 and ended up with a Tesla instead you just can't beat that instant electric torque 😁. The weight of this vehicle just doesn't make it nibble. This is one of the only reviews I've seen give it so many praises. Looks incredible though. I'd still like to have one one day
Is this better then a base Corvette?
Looking at the times, there's no way a hellcat is only a tenth slower than the camaro ss.
That color is so blue.
Well done! Great to see another Hot or Not episode! A little off topic - but my guess is that Toyota will retune this engine and use it in the next gen Tundra with an 8-speed auto. Who knows though? Have to wait and see!
🔥🔥🔥🔥HOT🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Wish it had a manual transmission option and slightly better numbers but..when it looks that good and is a Lexus I can overlook that.
I own one. Love it. Flawless mechanics. Reliable. Quiet, until you put your foot in it. AND it’s manageable. 30 MPG if I drive it like a granny on eco mode. (Less than that most the time.)
Its a toyota.even if it has a l liter engine is fast.toyota king in its own class.last a lifetime.cost less mentain .thats toyota giving u the best for less 👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑
Yeah, and a Corvette is faster than an M4.....what’s your point? Are you 15 yrs old? There is ALWAYS some car faster than yours. Let’s see which car is a better car to own when 5 yrs old and out of warranty. Which car is going to need $3k rod bearings, $2k throttle actuators and $1k walnut shell blast of the top end to clean out the carbon? The M car will just punish the owner stupid enough to have out of warranty. The Lexus will just be purring with lots of life left.
I see this being as the Supra successor, not that Z4. This would make more sense in all terms, but that Z4, is always going to be a Z4... I don't see the FRS/BRZ/86 GT as a successor to the AE86, but it's a nice car stand-alone. Besides, if the new Corolla would have been RWD, then it's a AE86 successor. Toyota is like a grandpa' that lost it, and can't get it right anymore. Just not that cool!
I love this car, but it almost seems like it's just not fast. For having almost 500 hp... it really does seem like a boat. I'm looking at a 2021, but need to test drive it first... I love everything about this car, but when I see videos it just seems so quiet for the exhaust from the factory and slow. which is mind boggling to me at the price one gets when you build and ad options.. $80k, should be FAST/quick!
Whoever your sound guy is; give him (or her) a raise! The best sounding RCF video. And the videography is top notch too!
It looks GREAT
I love that RC 😍
I have a request and I know this has been done to death, but could you guys do a CTS V vid?
Some are comparing this to some German cars. I will too in the sense that this car won’t break like the others.
My favorite car within a reasonable budget! It's hot to me and I just started the video, no way it's not!
@2:50 that's purple
ok power braking is so LAME ! That's what you do with your sisters car, if it can't smoke the tires on it's own then don't be lame.
This things a beast
That burn out was lame it took for ever for just a little smoke.
So want one.
No. It’s blue lol I own the car and am pretty sure 😂
God I love the sound of this engine. Beautiful intake runners too. So sad these NA engines are going away😕
I really like these 0-60,drags and comparing cars, few channel drag pickups or compare older newer however burnouts? I dunno... Never cared for them.
Theyre only entertaining when a bad guy in a movie speeds off or if youre doing it yourself finishing off old wornout rubber before change, other than that IMO just a waste of tires and car.
I want Paul's job!
The Stigs still got it!!!!
Every Red Blooded American boy just loves to "Peel Out"
Damn this car is slower than the 435 from 6 yrs ago?
Did you notice how fast the Ford focus RS completed this course it’s amazing
Umm that’s looks blue I don’t see purple at all. Lol
You should do a video of nissan gtr
V8 sounds so smooth and throaty. Good thing it doesn't have hair dryers attached to the motor😂
That burnout was kinda weak and it looked painful
He didnt do it rite
I own currently 2007 G35S(116K miles with all the almost all the original factory parts because of no issues) and 2017 GSF(7K miles). I did 0-60 on them. Guess what? G was 5.05 and GSF was 4.93. I also did 0-60 on 2018 Q60 3.0t(300hp). It was 5.25. However I believe my GSF will be better and better in the future. I also expect my GSF will be even better than my G (because Toyota > Nissan) and probably be below 4.5 when getting old...
The conclusion : This car may not look so promising when new but it will become much better when getting old...
PS: I did all 0-60 tests at the same location and similar weather/condition. I tried 0-60 two times on G, three times on GSF and 8 times on Q60 and chose the best number.
5.8 second 0-60 isn't really impressive, that's Honda numbers. I know they're at altitude but still, it should at least be under 5 seconds..
yes vw golf gti 0-60 6.0 sec
its 4.3 sec per C&D,www.caranddriver.com/lexus/rc-f. anything in 5.x sec is v6 territory.
Golf R smokes it
They’re over 5k ft in elevation. Everything is slower up there.
Even The 2016 mustang and Camaro they tested were faster to 60
My big ass suv is faster and quicker.
It's definitely hot.
There’s a video on UA-cam of Supras Chief Engineer talking about the car. He says at the end it wasn’t about numbers but about the driving experience. It’s the same concept with this car. Not everyone is going to be caring about 0-60 times. It’s about the elegance and experience of driving this amazing car.
2:49 that Portable Toilet it's PURPLE...The Engine it's BLUE lol
Yeah, V8s and manuals are being killed off left and right. Totally different class of vehicle, but it's crazy to me the new Expedition/Navigator doesn't even offer the 5.0 V8.
Yeap... Purple... Toilet cabin is purple
Hi Paul, regardless of lap time or cost, what were the most fun cars you have driven? Or at least a short list. I heard you say the Ford Fiesta ST was a lot of fun regardless of price. What else? Thanks in advance. I am a fan.
I wish Lexus would make this RC F with a manual transmission and this naturally aspirated V8 that would be in all the sense of the word, FUN!!!
From all the turbo charged cars on the list ( min 10:40) this one will last for much more years.
A good, simple explanation of actual torque vectoring. Thank you. "Torque vector by brake" or whatever really is just a half-assed way of doing it.
Orange and blue don't not affect heat dissipation and i think a loaded lincoln mkz or a loaded 5.0 mustang would be good competition minus reliability lol
But where is well-known Lexus comfort right now? Now Lexus want to be sport not comfort?
2006 mitsu evo still # 5 on the leader board, only thing that was better and around the same age was the 911 turbo.
plenty of v8s still out , why does every one say they're goin away?
Well, they are slowly. Especially in the more expensive products. They're getting replaced by turbo and supercharged V6 and 4 cylinder alternatives in different companies. Aston Martin has scaled down, for example. They still offer a V8 in some products, but they favor a V6 in many of their products now.
If only I had the income for this, I would show Toyota/Lexus there is still a demand for cars like this.
Let’s race. I have an ISF
Lexus really needs to get rid of that stupid grill, yuck.
Daytona 392 grill looks great on,lc500. Love it.
My 2015 M4 with bootmod3 stage 1 will eat this car.
My Supra 2jz will make your car look like it's standing still. An rcf with a supercharger and e-85 will be a different story.
I love this car
Love the video. But new years resolution for TFL channel: make your videos a 18:9 ratio
Nice car
Toyota should have built the Supra on this platform
What's up with Roman's FUBU hoodie? Are we going to see Roman in a dashiki next?
