Lexus RC F Fuji Speedway Edition Limited to 60 Examples
The new RC F Fuji Speedway Edition is more than just an appearance package.
Beyond Appearances
When Lexus introduces a new package, it's typically just one that provides a series of appearance upgrades. Thankfully, that isn't the case with the ultra-limited RC F Fuji Speedway Edition. The 60 lucky owners of this new special edition will be getting something befitting of its name, which pays homage to the iconic track where the F got its start in the first place.

Same Punch
That's not to say this limited edition packs any more power than the regular RC F because it doesn't. That means you'll find the familiar yet excellent naturally-aspirated 5.0-liter V8 under the hood, which offers up 472 horsepower and 395 pound-feet of torque.

Weight Loss
The same can't be said for the looks of the Fuji Speedway Edition, which mimics a GT3 racer. They also hint at the many weight reduction techniques that have taken place here. Lexus won't say how much weight it has lost over the regular RC F, but the car is packing quite a few lightweight components.

Even Faster
That list includes Brembo Carbon Ceramic brakes, titanium exhaust, and extensive use of carbon fiber aerodynamics bits. Lexus reckons that's good enough to help the car reach 60 miles-per-hour in 3.96 seconds, which is actually around 0.3 clicks faster than the regular RC F, so it must be significantly lighter.

More Durable Matte
The RC F Fuji Speedway Edition is only available in two colors - Arctic Blast Satin and Cloudburst Gray. The former is a brand new color, a unique white hue sporting a semi-matte finish that offers the unique appearance of a full matte paint job that's durable enough to go through a car wash.

Bespoke Interior
On the inside, the RC F Fuji Speedway Edition sports Circuit Red leather-trimmed seats with Alcantara accents and red Carbon Fiber trim. Also included with the purchase of every RC F Fuji Speedway Edition will be a limited production MSTR automatic movement watch. The timepiece features RC F-inspired elements such as a gunmetal bezel, red stitching on its band, and Fuji Speedway and F logos.

Expensive but Good
Lexus hasn't announced pricing for the new special edition RC F, but considering the Track Edition that it's based on costs $97,825, you can bet this one will crest the $100,000 mark. But given its exclusivity, handsome looks, and impressive performance, that makes quite a bit of sense.
