Every year, stunning examples of automotive excellence storm hill at Goodwoodd. This year, the field included a Rothman’s-liveried Porsche 962, a screaming Ferrari F60 F1 car and the new Lexus RC F!
In my opinion, these are the two boldest colors on the palate for the RC F. And full disclosure? Orange is my favorite color, so I’m inclined to favor the crowd-sourced Solar Flare Orange in this match up.
Lexus put up a campaign a while ago for people to submit name for the latest (and hottest) orange color on the Lexus RC F. While the final name choice seems to be ironed down as “Solar Flare Orange”, Lexus released this picture on Twitter showing the orange color RC F at the Lexus headquarters.
The Lexus RC F is few months away from hitting the dealerships and there are still details about the car that Lexus is being quiet on. We still don’t have exact power numbers, weight, or any performance figures.
Mmm… You hear that? That’s 5-liters of V8 Lexus bumbling away under the hood of the RC F. It sounds pissed. It probably is pissed. If you were a race car being forced rev on a glass dais instead of, say, Monza, wouldn’t you be a little miffed?
Everyone wants a chance for some seat time in the RC F. Right now though, that privilege is reserved for the Super GT drivers only. To their credit, they don’t seem to be wasting time getting accustomed to it. They certainly had their handful last weekend at the Fuji Speedway.
To be perfectly honest, the color is still growing on me. When Lexus introduced the RC’s “exclusive orange” I had to consider just how I felt about it. maybe, it’s because the RC F’s signature blue is just so amazing, it won’t allow me to accept the RC F any other way.
