That best be some nasty FSport and "plus" better be sick.
USB back for FSport is awesome.
Orange? Interesting.

Or LFA Nurburgring or ISF CSSR Orange
Oh, there's also "InfraRED" and "Silver Lining" to add to existing colors
"A new Lexus painting process that uses multiple layers of clear and deeper-colored coating brings the RC coupe to life with a brighter and more contrasting shade, especially on the racy red exterior."

CF body parts like roof, hood and spoiler are nothing but the gimmick, I'm not even sure they will save you even 50lb in total if CF roof weights only 13lb less than regular roof. But customers could be forced into CF package if they bundle something like TVD with it (which is highly unlikely but possible).
Real weight savings come from internal components and composites used to mold them in, not from selective external panels.

the thing with a CF roof is its a simple piece to make in CF and it has a more bang for the buck in lowering the center of gravity vs other parts being the highest part of the car. You cant find 13 lbs elsewhere that high on the car. Plus it's something you can see and looks cool. Would be nice if you could delete the sunroof.
I can see some buyers not wanting the CF package because of the hood. I would not want the CF package for that reason. Looks so much better with it painted like the rest of the car

Weight savings come from everything added together, and CF weight loss is probably the highest per item on the car.

First Photos of New Lexus RC F with Carbon Package
Click here to view more photos
One of the options boxes you may want to tick if you're interested in the new Lexus RC F high-performance coupe is the Carbon Package. We read about it when the Japanese brand introduced the car at the Detroit auto show earlier this week, but we hadn't seen what it looked like in full dressing.
The available package offers a clear-coated carbon fiber roof, engine hood and active rear wing.
Like us, you may have noticed that, in the following photos, aside from the white RC F that gets the full treatment, there's also a blue-colored model with the carbon fiber roof and rear spoiler, but what looks like a regular hood. We're not sure yet, as information remains limited, but it could be that Lexus may offer buyers the option of a painted or clear-coated carbon fiber bonnet.
Regardless if you order the package, the RC F will come with the same 450+ horsepower 5.0-liter V8 hooked up to an eight-speed Sports Direct Shift (SPDS) automatic transmission turning the rear axle.

Those wheels remind me of this:
It's probably just me, but they really don't look sporty or fitting for a high performance coupe at all. The first teaser shot showed wheels that looked much nicer and I'd like to see those on the car, as well as the third option, which we haven't seen at all.

I agree, the rims look cheap, artsy, and fussy, as they do on the current IS-F. Sporty rims should have thicker, stronger-looking spokes with large empty spaces in between. This is how most sports cars have been equipped for a long while. Only recently has the "artsy" thing come into play, which is a detriment.
