Default Highway shots Flare Yellow perf pckg

Spotted this beauty in Orlando recently. I never see this color. Tastefully modded IMO.
I got a short vid but can't upload it rn.

That was my first choice in color for my 2020... unfortunately when I was looking there were none available at all in the US, it would have had to of been special ordered which meant 3-4 months and zero incintives/discounts. Two things that are annoying. 'm not sure why Lexus doesn't make more of this color. It's so nice looking. It's nice seeing yellow cars because they are never on the road. The second part that sucks is you can only get this color with the carbon package which then tacks on another $10k. You can however get a normal rc350 in flare yellow so that's really strange that they did it that way. This is I believe the only color that is like that in the line up. You can't get a flare yellow RCF without the carbon package. Perhaps they think it would be too much yellow with the spoiler, lip, and rear diffuser, and roof if it didn't have the carbon package?

Love yellow cars though, my first car was a sonic yellow wrx many many years ago.

Waiting for the video :-)

Toyota does some wierd stuff with color / pakage / models. I ran into that more than a decade ago when buying a tacoma.

I agree, yellow looks really nice. Never seen one in the flesh, although I haven't seen RC Fs except for 2 and both were blue. My first car was yellow fiat 127 when I was in college in Europe, engine was 600cc. Loved it.

The Flare Yellow is a nice color, I tried to get my RCF that I had in this color, but none were available in the northeast. I ended up getting Infrared from a dealer nearby. This was my first yellow car a 1970 Buick GSX I got right after I came home from the service.

Nice, how do you like the infrared? Just got mine few days ago in infrared, the color is so rich with an orange tinge to it.

I love infrared, I liked it so much I just traded in my 2019 RCF for a infrared 2021 LC500. Infrared really pops in sunlight.

Oh man, what a great choice!! Congratulations on the car and congratulations on a good taste. The LC500 is on my radar. She will be next after paying off the RC F.

What's your impression?, is it much different room the RC F?

Thanks, the LC is heavier than the RCF hence the RCF is quicker. The LC is more of a grand tourer, the interior is one of the best in the car market. Also the stock exhaust on the LC has a better sound than the stock RCF. I also disconnected the exhaust valves so they are open all the time. It is a great sports car, so are the RCF's. If I could have I would have kept the RCF & had both cars. Here is a picture of the RCF, its for sale at Willow Grove Lexus.

Wow, has less than a thousand miles? The wheels barely went around. It's a beauty.
