Is The Lexus RCF Track Edition a Waste of Money? - (Track) One Take

The Lexus RCF costs $67,000, and despite its nearly flawless 5.0L V8 engine, is kind of a stretch at that price, and, frankly, not much of an athlete either. This is the Track Edition, which is designed to remedy some of those issues. It s got ceramic brakes, upgraded wheels and tires, a carbon fiber hood and wing, and a stiffened suspension, saving a total o 176 lbs from the stock car s 3,900 lb heft. It also costs nearly $97,000, four large more than the absolutely stunning, unapologetic, and brilliant LC500. On the track, especially surrounded by other PCOTY entrants, it simply isn t much fun, and certainly isn t $30,000 more fun than the car on which it s based. Basically, it s Lexus s version of the M4 GTS, a car which is not good either. Save your money and get a GS-F or LC500 while Lexus still makes this phenomenal engine.
