Default Lexus updating RC F?
I follow Lexus usa on instagram and they had a post hinting towards an update/upgrade next week. Anyone have any idea what they are planning?

Most likely a twin turbo V6 or V8. Supercharger would be nice from the factory but b/c of all the new stringent EPA and MPG requirements, turbo seems the most likely...or even some form of hybrid motor. We can all speculate all we want and dream but we'll just have to wait 'til it happens I would love some super output hybrid and AWD...closer to the new NSX

A twin turbo would definitely made me feel more connected to my vehicle.

Maybe they are updating the transmission software, or maybe a new updated pump/controller unit/s.

Unless the definition of vehicle connectivity has changed, I doubt that Lexus would drum up attention to a problem that they wont recognize. Sounds like some kind of logging software for track days?

Yes the one where it says "The ultimate enhancement in driver/vehicle connectivity..." Whatever that means.

This would fit the bill:

What useful purpose would measuring my HB offer to an RCF driver? Has the F division decided if you cant make this a drivers car, lets make it health friendly by measuring the drivers heartbeat incase they have any defects or health issues SMH

I actually just read the first post. Didn't know it's connectivity and that it's for the upcoming year/s' models. But I'm sure Lexus is working on the pump and/or controller issue.

Officially Lexus does not recognize a pump issue. Maybe a TSB of sorts or case by case issue. Plus I doubt Lexus would be announcing anything bad in terms of the RC-F. Solving an issue is great news for owners, but terrible for would be customers. I`d guarantee though a fix redesign is probably already implemented on the production line though

I'd argue the opposite. Announcing a solution/fix is great for new sales. Ignoring issues will not get my repeat business. The days of not doing recalls over problems are coming to an end.

I meant on social media. or any media for that instance. Of course as a customer, I would welcome changes when taking it in for a problem
