Official UK stats for the RC-F
#63
All I am saying is that it's a lot of USD to buy an RC F in England.

The Corvette does the 1/4 mile in 12.3 - 12.5 seconds in road tests. It is actually slower in a straight line than most sport sedans of today. Most probably because of the manual transmission.
If 0-60 mph is the biggest concern for traffic light to traffic light then buy an AWD car with a turbo on it.

C&D did a test on the new M3 sedan, same 0-60 as E90 and .2 sec faster 1/4 mile - despite losing 100 lbs and gaining 111 ft lbs of torque. Not impressive. Im sure it handles better and daily drives better with the lower end power compared to the V8

However, the M-DCT would be 1/10th - 2/10th quicker around 12.2 - 12.3 seconds. I fully expect the RC-F to be in the same ballpark in a straight line. Give or take 1 or 2 tenths.

Based on current FX conversion rates... lets make sure we have the right numbers

£59,995 = $100,090 in USD
£67,995 = $113,436 in USD
£51,995 = $86,744 in USD

Don't even get started on prices...
The M4-DCT in Australia has a base price of AUD $167k. Driveaway (including duty, dealer charges etc) is $179k AUD.
Based on today's currency exchange, AUD $167k = USD $156k.

It is rumored that the actual production cost for the LFA was near one million. The car sold for considerably less.
It's all about brand development and selling less expensive cars in the line up and reaping profits in volume sales.

In 2012, the base IS-F sold for around $90,000 US and approximately $100,000 US loaded in the UK.
Based on what I am reading here, I would not be surprised to see the price for the carbon with torque vectoring hit the low $80ks in the US.
