Well, well, well, what do I spy? According to the VLN's website, a Lexus IS-C will be running in the upcoming Nurburgring race in SP8 CLASS. For those who don't know what that means, it's a class for vehicles with over 4,000cc of engine displacement! We all know the IS-C's largest engine is the 3.5 liter V6. So, either the entry list is a typo or imo, this may be a race mule for this car were talking about in this thread. Much like Lexus ran camo'd LFA's before release.

Entry list below

Just a couple of observations I spotted on the “Test Mules..”

• 1) The HOOD Scoop or Vent looks legit.. You can see right through it in the first two photos..!!!
  This is going to be one very special motor..
  (Plate #682)
  
  
• 2) Also, there seems to be a difference on the Speed Activated trunk wings.. #682 seems to completely tuck away flush...
  As seen on the first two photos below.. And 3rd photo shows where it goes seamlessly.
  #681 seems to be showing us a different more aggressive wing that does not fully tuck away…
  
  Could be testing Two different wings, or we are looking at wings for the two different motor options..
  OR
  I could be wrong all together and the WING is Not Fully Up or Down..

(#682)


(#681 Left & #682 Right)


(#682 on Track)


(#681 on Street)


(#681 on Street)


Also, someone else already pointed out the bumper reflector differences.. One might be taped up...


Just my own opinions..

it seems to me that wings are speed adjustable, ie they dont have a single position... we can see that there is a mechanism of some sort under the wing, which seems to confirm that.

SP8 cars are ones using 4liters and up but those are production based cars. Lexus has never entered a car in SP8 with a non production engine.

I am very excited to see what the Lexus designers and engineers are going to do with this new vehicle. As much as I want a GTR this new model might be a better alternative for daily driving.

MAn that thing looks like it loves the green hell. I watched the video and the car seems very well balanced

so, the is coupe will be called the rc, i that right? or will there only be a new f model, the rc-f?

Mr. Burns

The car you're looking at in the spy shots is the RC-F model. The RC will be the IS coupe and there should be a toned down non-F model (RC-250 and RC-350). Those will be revealed before the F-model.

I wonder if the RC F-sport will have an IS-style super aggressive front and how the F model will look in comparison? As it is, I can't imagine how an IS-F would look compared to the F-sport which already looks aggressive enough.
