Right now, there are only two RC models with the most performance possible: the RC F and RC F Fuji Speedway Edition. As we mentioned in June, however, the current RC F needs more performance (like a twin-turbo V8, perhaps?). Should RC F fans get their wish, it could open the doors for an RC 500 F Sport Performance.
Some de-contenting of the RC F could occur to balance track performance with improved street manners, for starters. Pricing, too, would need to fit between the standard RC/RC F Sport and RC F. An RC 500 F Sport Performance could slot right in around $55,000 to $60,000 to start (the RC starts at $42,220, the RC F at $65,975). Then, go full tilt with improved infotainment (no trackpad, please), adjustable suspension and exhaust, sportier leather front seats, and more.

Cameron Aubernon's path to automotive journalism began in the early New '10s. Back then, a friend of hers thought she was an independent fashion blogger.
Aubernon wasn't, so she became one, covering fashion in her own way for the next few years.
From there, she's written for: Louisville.com/Louisville Magazine, Insider Louisville, The Voice-Tribune/The Voice, TOPS Louisville, Jeffersontown Magazine, Dispatches Europe, The Truth About Cars, Automotive News, Yahoo Autos, RideApart, Hagerty, and Street Trucks.
Aubernon also served as the editor-in-chief of a short-lived online society publication in Louisville, Kentucky, interned at the city's NPR affiliate, WFPL-FM, and was the de facto publicist-in-residence for a communal art space near the University of Louisville.
Where do you go for answers when you have a Lexus with a gorgeous leather interior but are not sure about how to maintain that luxurious look? The "Club Lexus" forums, of course.
