Great video by the Japanese Top Gear team.

Rarely drive the RCF in sport plus on the road with traction control off.

Its amazing what its capable off in experienced hands.

Unfortunately, the RCF seemed prehistoric in terms of drive train, tech and dynamics compared to the GT

As much as they tried to whip up enthusiasm for the RCF there closing comments were telling.

Yeah, they also admitted that the AMG was in a different class (600hp AWD). But a good vid showing the TE on a canyon run with experienced drivers.

That AMG was very impressive considering touge favors smaller and lighter cars. It was 463 KG heavier and much bigger, but they said electronics like 4-wheel steering, AWD and 640 HP are too good that they said it did not matter. Just simply too powerful and too advanced. The TVD could have made the tight switchbacks a bit better by rotating the rear on RCF for more sustained turn-in nose authority, but the AMG would have still won anyway it wanted.

Yeah they might as well have thrown a GTR in there....or an AE86 driven by a tofu delivery guy 🤣

Very impressive for the AMG, as expensive as it is, just shows how technology can defy physics. I would expect the RC-F especially the lighter "TE" to beat the AMG on a tight touge course.

Silver lining: At least, RCF TE is more than 1 full second faster than a standard M4 in touge.
