I currently visited the Lexus showroom to inquire about the IS500, and to my surprise i saw the RCF Fuji edition in the stunning electric surge colour, it blends perfectly with the carbon and really sticks out. My question is are when the say limited to 60 units do they mean world wide or North America? And per my understanding there should be a serialized plaque near the window control united, but this car had no serial number, is there a way i can possibly find out the serial of the cars production, for example 20/60 etc.
Every market gets their own allocation of vehicles. In the USA, we get 50 units for the 2022 model, not sure if they have put aside a few Canadian ones aside from the USA's 50 like what was done on the 2022 IS 500 F SPORT Launch Edition (50 of the 500 went to Canada).
That is the first place i looked amongst other places no trace of the plaque which made me think that the 50 units is North America but car is available in larger numbers outside the US
meh... not too excited about the color and the mark up I've seen on them is just insulting... I can't remember if it was here or on FB but someone posted one going for ~$140k 🤦♂️
I had deposits at a few places during the first run of the 2020 TE and all Cali dealers after agreeing to msrp added $50k+ to the price. I purchase one in the Seattle area @ $2500 under msrp.
Most marked up cars sat for a year or so and I am sure most sold at or under msrp.
Ditto on not feeling the color seeing it now in several threads. I thought it was going to be really nice from the Lexus pictures but now seeing it (could be different in person), I'm not feeling it. I think it's too dark. It's like a version of USB but not done right. (and USB is beautiful in person) Just looks like a bad wrap job to me. The matte white and gray are really nice looking. I feel they could have gone with a lighter color and it would have looked nicer., even if they did the shade of blue that they are using in the fuji which is considerably lighter color would have looked pretty good.
As far as markup is concerned, I think the dealers that are marking it up are going to be sitting on it for a while until they realize that someone that is going to spend $145k+ on a vehicle is looking at a Porsche instead of a boy racer look Lexus. When I bought mine last year the dealer also had a track edition and it was $105k. No markup or anything of that nature. Even now looking on auto trader you can get track editions in the high 80's with not much milage at all. I don't think this is the type of car that is going ot hold value. That's not a diss on it. I love our cars. I just feel like Lexus has priced the vehicle to a point that most people aren't going to consider it when shopping other performance brands.

nice! the 'fuji speedway edition' is a north america offering per lexus corp and offered predominantly in the US. 50 total units for 2022 (in electric surge only) and 60 units in 2021 (arctic blast satin or cloudburst gray). you can purchase an rcf with the 'track package' outside of north america but it won't be available in the exclusive fuji colors nor will the owner get the fuji speedway watch. also, if it's really a fuji edition, it will say 'fuji' on the window sticker versus 'track package' or some other designation.
the number badging wasn't offered in the 2020 track edition or the 2021 fuji spdwy edition. the vin does not tell you the fuji build number unfortunately.
from lexus guest experience:
Thank you for contacting Lexus about the production numbers for the 2021 RC-F Fuji Speedway Edition and we are very excited to learn of your enthusiasm!
I am very happy to share I was able to locate the information you are requesting, plus a little more! Please note this unit is North American point of sale only. All global production is currently slated for US and Canada, with the vast majority here in states. The production numbers are as follows:
Model year 2021: 60 units confirmed sold
Model year 2022: 50 units - production projection
Model year 2023: 50 units - production projection
There are unique colors planned for each model year as well, but we are not able to confirm and share that information yet.
We certainly appreciate your inquiry and interest. To receive all the information we share publicly, you can sign up for the latest updates with our RSS Feed and/or receive email alerts when new information is posted in the Lexus USA Newsroom.
Globally, the car is still an RC F Track Edition, it's only renamed Fuji Speedway Edition in the USA. The early idea was to rename the RC F Track Edition to a new race track that it was developed at.
