hockeyedwards 237 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 https://blog.lexus.co.uk/hakuji-white-lexus-rc-f-track-edition/ I mean I am bias in liking white, but this is noiceeee and has PPF installed already. Price is a bit eye watering but 1 of 1 ordered by Lexus UK is kinda cool 🙂 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Linas.P 1,389 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 The only cool things about it is 1 of 1 ... so it apparently is unique. But... ugly wheels, ugly wing... and the rest pretty much same car as any other RC-F 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnett 68 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I'm rather fond of the track edition RCF and that white variant is stunning. Yeah though that price. Would rather the LC 🤷 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fair and square 58 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I totally agree hockey. It is easy to forgot but just 12 years there was no such thing as an F range. If we want to compare a £120,000 M4 GTS against this white RCF thingy as a like for like then fair enough but BMW had their M range well underway before Lexus even existed. Lexus have come far since 2008 and the models are priced so much more competitive than the German range. Considering that the F range was born in the heat of a global recession I think that Lexus has come far with their F range, unfortunately they just haven't achieved their numbers in the UK. Maybe I will get shot down for this, but just like Astons and such like, the F range is much better suited to the USA, middle east and Asian market. My statement is based upon evidence of relative sales evidence. I recall the Aston Martin 70th birthday celebrations in 2017/2018 - us UK Aston owners watched Aston Martin Singapore and China fly a Vanquish in mid air via a helicopter, it made headlines. But yet, in the UK, we received an email newsletter. British band, pffft. No such market in the UK to warrant costs of a celebration of that magnitude. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The only thing you need is for somebody to buy this "hakuji" edition and soon there will be 4-spare wheels for sale. I have no idea how Lexus came-up with this ugly wheels design... although looking at LC... maybe it is not out of ordinary for them to have questionable wheel designs actually.

mr2lad 337 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Jeesus...big hooha on these wheels, there better than the crap that are OEM on other OEM RC Fs 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Exdee 32 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I think the exhaust tips should have been a bit bigger so that the muffler doesn't show as much or the muffler could have been coated in black. Sometimes alloy wheels appear dull in pictures, it could be one of those instances. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scott-o 55 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I love it and the fact they've done it is admirable in its own right! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The only benefit I can see having these wheels is that you don't need to bother destroying them and they are easier to clean as well. But they are ugly... almost looks like somebody put some cheap aftermarket wheels on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
C.B 162 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I think it looks great and I bet that paint finish is lovely in the flesh 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JonP 278 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I really like it, if I wanted subtle I’d go back to an ISF. It’s like a grown up version of my white carbon.. but maybe I’m getting old and don’t understand car styling these days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mincey 335 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I like it. It looks like a mean mofo. I'd keep the standard wheels on it (I nearly said "stock" wheels - aaargh!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wood Butcher 6 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I’m not really a fan of white cars, but I quite like this, and think that the black works well all round as a contrast. It certainly looks mean and purposeful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BillNick 55 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I think it looks awesome! A lot of the feedback here is around features that make it track worthy. Perhaps we don't like some of those items because we will never go on track with it? If I had money to store track editions in my garage for private track days here and there, this would def be in that garage! That's not to say I wouldn't drive it to the shops though, I would lol. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mrfunex 410 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I love how special the Track Edition is, the carbon work is quite unlike any I have ever seen before. It’s stunning. However, having driven both the vanilla RCF and the TE back to back, on a track; I couldn’t tell the difference between them. Wouldn’t stop me buying one though!
