For years, the BMW M3 and M4 has ruled the fast super sedan segment and while those cars have built a strong reputation among enthusiast, it didn't stop Lexus from wanting to steal sales away from its German rivals. It all started in 2008 with the IS F, but Lexus followed that up in 2015 with the #LexusRCF, it had a fire breathing naturally aspirated 5.0L V8 with nearly 500 HP paired to a quick shifting 8-speed transmission. Unfortunately, for #Lexus the car was deemed too heavy for the segment. For 2020, #Lexus is looking to address the weight problem with the #RCFTrackEdition, trimming nearly 400 pounds of weight and add 5 more HP under the hood. Lexus will only build 50 of them this year so if you want one, you had better act fast. #RCF #LexusRCFTrackEdition

People complain about the weight, and while it's not the fastest car, it's still plenty fast enough for most people. Personally, I don't need a racecar. Great design, build quality, and reliability make it worthwhile.
Exactly, C63 weighs more than RCF, same with Q60, Why not complain on those cars?
Thing is.... an ISF with full bolt on mods will achieve 0-60 in around 3.7/3.8 as it still weighs less than a RCF TE and with the same amount of power :)
@@poymu4929 because the C63 is faster and the Q60 is much cheaper.
Agree, it’s definitely more power than you could ever use daily driving on the street, without getting a ticket at least. Hell I’ve been getting speeding tickets in a 4cyl turbo for years now and it’s only about 200hp. Can’t imagine how quickly I’d lose my license with something like this lol.
It's 100k. You'll lose your ass buying one of these.
This is about the only car i lust after right now. RWD V8, An ungodly interior that somehow reminds me of the 80s and 90s while looking like the future and being classy, anvil reliability, and built like a swiss watch.
First Last - there’s only 50 or so of them. Good Luck 🍀
It's a rare car but you can settle for a regular RCF with red interior, aftermarket wing and hood. 👍
Given the sales of other low production Lexus sports cars you should have no problem getting ahold of one in the future.
As a person who had ridden in one I can say it's f-ing awesome but the carbon scratches kinda easy

Too bad no one is rushing to buy it. This is another failed attempt to keep Lexus in the sports car market. It’s never going to be a sports anything but this is an attempt to say to world that We At Lexus make sports cars.
All in the hopes that buyers don’t know anything about Lexus and it’s history of failure in the sports car world.
$97,675 MSRP for this track edition RC F.
I'd go with the LC500 at that price...
Levi very true!
might as well just get a corvette 0-60 in 2.9 sec
Fire Heart horsezower
Or the jeep track hawk 😬
Lmao 170k in the netherlands its
In person these look way more interesting and unique than M4 and Mercedes.
Mercedes & bmw are stuck in the past, boring design.
Because there's nothing interesting about Mercedes lol
carlos campos nothing interesting except that it’s a better car 😆
@@badgerman2414 depends on what you mean by better, if you mean by prestige, history, brand recognition, and stuff like that yeah but the RC looks unique and it's a car you keep for more than 20 years, not a car you lease for 2 years and move on to the next like Mercedes
carlos campos Mercedes cars become classics. And plenty are on the road from every decade. They still run and they still look good. So I’m not sure what you mean with the 20 year statement. This car is not about to run for 20 years anyway. Not without a lot of fixes. And are you telling me that people buy lexus and lease Mercedes? Sounds like a lot of hot air mate. Plus this car already looks old. Who would drive this on 2039 and call it a classic?
I have the GS F Lexus, same engine in a sedan. Love it.
What year model is your GS F?
@@Anthony-dk7de Go for tge Lexus I'd say
GS-F is my dream car, one day... one day
@@jezebulls I found a L Certified 2017 GS F for tens of thousands off the new MSRP of $85,000.
@@MCRN_Hammurabi 2017, Atomic silver with the circuit red interior, HUD, Levinson stereo, painted calipers.
This car is definitely a head turner. It looks good, especially in white. In my opinion Lexus designs are sharp, modern and bold. They stand out. Mercedes and BMW are looking dated. It seems like they have the same design from 2 decades ago. Not to mention that this car is built with quality and reliabilty in mind, unlike the Germans.
Problem is the price tag, asking for twice as much a fair price
Mercedes does not have the same design as 2 decades ago lol, bmw for sure does tho
Reliability doesn’t matter on new cars
2 decades ago is the E46 design. A new BMW looks nothing like an E46.
Now I know anything you write is idiotic because you made an idiotic comment...
Can we just rebadge the RC-F with a Toyota Supra emblem.
Project Pan Racing back when they were developing the a80, they were considering putting a v8 in it. But I guess if you want a v8 Supra you can get an sc400
Ali Jamili honestly
Project Pan Racing i did that to my 1999 camry haha
No but you CAN put a bmw emblem on the new “Toyota” Zupra. Cuz it is.
@@kickyadick 😅🤣😅🤣😅
They need to keep some weight. Personally and for most people that is actually where this car wins. The BMW and Mercedes can win in performance all they want, but I don't care because at the end of the day the Lexus is a solid built *LUXURY* car which means no road noise, no stiff bumps, and solid machine on the road in general. That nice solid weight is exactly what I like over the BMW. Remember it is a Luxury car still with some nice *PLENTY* enough power.
Its not all about raw speed... this car is an absolute beauty and one thing is for sure is that it is gonna be reliable and durable no doubt... its worth it more than many others out there
correct
It is a beautiful machine but it is NOT 100k+ vehicle!
Chris Munsey you’re absolutely right
Loads of CF but no power tilt wheel @ $100k? 🤦♂️
But they shaved a whole 150 pounds off tho! :)
I agree. to me, proportions dictate that.
I thought it was mind blowing that they used those old turn signals not only for a 2020 Lexus but for a top of the range Lexus, what are you doing Lexus
4200 lbs? Standard 2019 RCF weighs 3958 lbs with carbon fiber/TVD trim. Ridiculous to add a full 200 lbs to it. The 2020 RCF with carbon weighs less than 3900 lbs. Not 4200 lbs. Difference is 177 lbs between a pre-2019 RCF and RCF track edition. Even a GSF does not weigh 4200 lbs. Please state the stats correct. GSF weighs 4030 lbs and the LC500 weighs 4320 lbs according to Lexus specs. RCF track edition is 3780 lbs. RCF did plenty well against the M4 in 2015 when race car driver Randy Pobst ran only 3/10ths apart back to back. No one would cross shop an RCF and LC500 since RCF is more leaning towards sporty, high performance driving while LC500 leans more towards luxury and grand tourer.
KLRGT500KR Was just gonna point that out too! Stopped video and thumbed down.
@@tallicAgrl9051 Agreed. Very disappointed in him fudging the numbers by over 200 lbs. He drives a 4100 lbs Tesla and he criticizes a lighter RCF for being too heavy. Everything these days in this class weighs around 3800 - 4000 lbs. M3/M4 weigh around 36XX lbs, but they are the exception.
Lexus will out live and keep its value than a M4 from BMW. You rev a BMW like that to many times and you be in the Mechanic.
@@orlandovelastegui1391 Once again someone who's never owned a BMW making stupid assumptions. The M4s and M3s are actually pretty reliable.
@@mattbudesa3038 theirs so reliable that after 3 years their market value is Trash! Why ? Because their Trash 🗑

Retarded comment. Do your maintenance on a bmw and it will last 200k+ miles. Plus m4 would smoke this shit with fbo

Lmaooo
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
No wayyyyy
His balls went up inside from the g force lol
Dee Dee LMFAOOOOOOO
So they finally found a answer for the M4 but yet will only make 50 of them ? When you can find a M4 on on almost every lot. Great job Lexus 🤦🏽♂️
Most companies dont give af about actually selling sports cars. They only exist to make the companies other cars look more capable.
Cause they know it will be a struggle to sell those 50
MR Islandtime that’s my point since they only made 50 they are extremely more expensive. They want 106k, they are already struggling to sell, that price point just made it more impossible. A brand new M4 is 69k.
Ackj 375718 I live in NYC
This is a limited edition just like the limited edition m4s. Nothing wrong with that
You cant even compare lexus to bmw.... lexus will outlive a bmw 2 fold
I think reliability is irrelevant because ur just gonna crash both of them
Reliability doesn’t matter on new cars.
@@kristians2704 definitely does when you go to track on 3rd or 4th time and the bmw is blowing diffs and cv axles
@@oliverrogers6009 that doesn’t happen. They only become unreliable after 7-8 years and even then it’s just electronic issues.
My friend had a BMW and the Transmission went at 120,000. My friends Lexus has 450,000 and it still going.
This car is so fucking dope. LOVE that interior.
That engine is a master piece. Long live the NA V8 ! This is hands down one of the most cool and distinct looking cars on the market. Due to its low production volume this will be a Collector car. Everything about this car is just cool. The blue painted intake runners, the red carpet and red carbon fiber. The carbon fiber roof. The LFA brakes... I could go on and on. Dope car. The Next gen F cars are going to go turbo charged
5:11 "This car is pretty old it dates back to 2015" lmaooo whattt!!!! You could do a lot worse than 2015 sofy!!! lol
Considering cars usually update every year that's a long ass time
Swee Shu a generation lasts about 5 yrs average,, except toyota camry is redesigned every 3yrs,, although the camaro gets a facelift and buttlift every year lol
Meanwhile in Russia, there is still a van that has not been redesigned since 1965 and still being sold today.
Meanwhile, at Nissan...
by modern standards a car generation lasts mostly 4-5 years max. This applies to most of cars from eco compacts like civic to high end spots cars like a m3. So given that yea this car is at the end of its life cycle
No engine upgrades no thanks. Just get a used RCF for 43k and then add the spoiler and carbon fiber hood. Def not worth 100k.
Exactly an too much red
Hell, you can get a used ISF from 2008 with the same engine for A LOT cheaper.
Tony Bland Thats true, but the cleaner and better kept ISF's are around 30k. The beater 10-20k's were driven hard and went thru it's ownership cycle already. They can last 200-300k, but not all of em will. Most ISF's are around 80-100k mileage used as well, so if you're gonna spend 15-20k on a used car, better make sure you get a PI before buying.
track edition have been design by dtm team to help are dynamic and they change suspension
Different gearing, different suspension, bespoke wheels that are lighter, bespoke tires tuned to the dampers on the car. May not be worth it for you but there has been significant tuning that's gone into this.
The way his voice gets high and squeeky when hes excited is hilarious.

Here’s some numbers :) I think it’s extremely competitive given that it is naturally aspirated
Why do so many companies do a full LED headlight and full LED tail light but an incandescent turn signal? Are they saving that much money with the turn signal?
Idk why but I absolutely hate it. It's cheap as hell. A CRV has full LED taillamps for god sakes.
Saving 10 dollars in one car saves them millions of dollars because of mass production
Incandescent lights have this natural fade in/fade out which is pretty to look at
@@Dann0343 It just seems silly to me to keep that one component when they have changed the rest of the vehicle to the newer technology.
@@sihangshao8236 they only made 50 tho
I don't know what's your problem with lexus cars they looks amazing and unique, high quality, but still u keep complaining almost about every thing
I can't take u seriously any more
It’s an awesome car but it’s not worth the price tag, you can already buy low mileage standard RCFs in the high 30s and this is only a few tenths of a second faster than the regular one.
Exactly and the old style still looks gooood
Then don't buy it. Go get a Camry or Accord. People who buy this car don't care about money.
So Lexus, when are you updating your OG performance cars (IS, GS)?
The GS is very probably to be abandonned. There is no upgrade of the car planned until the year 2024 now. Also, the first solid evidences we have on the new Lexus IS show, he's going to grow to a level he could be a competitor to the GS. That makes sense in a "non sedan demanding market".
Also, there is still no clue that a ISF could be introduced now. It looks like the japanese are going to let the RC coupe have the show (new RC range will be launched in 2024).
Bob Outélama the Toyota Crown already came out in Japanese and the GS platform has always been based upon Crown platform they still might keep making them they would leave a big hole against the E ans 5 Series.
style 20 the ES is literally an upgraded Avalon.
@@iheartgs400 I heard. I'm looking to get a Avalon myself or an xse Camry.
@@fakedazzleful avalon 2016 xle xsp trust me
The rcf still used an old platform. Shoulda just take the A90 Supra and shove the V8 in it, that thing would be a beast.
Wayyy to heavy for that and they wanted to strictly be a tunable 6 cylinder so the V8 option was already axed anyway.
The reason for the steering wheel to not be automatic is actually for safety reasons. With the automatic tilt steering wheel it doesn’t move in a full frontal crash. With the manual it moves and doesn’t smash the driver if god forbid a high full frontal crash occurs.
At least you have the confidence to know that you can beat on this car without having to worry about things breaking...... just proper maintenance and Lexus can last well over 200k miles
At 200k miles these cars are barely being broken in... honestly these cars will run forever with basic maintaining
@@EpicDrew15 Anecdotal stories are meaningless.
@@lepe check how Toyotas reliable are and how many miles it can take. Especially those with v8
@@TeRRm0s Irrelevant to this discussion.
@@lepe not when every anecdotal story is the same my friend. My dads LS400 has 310,000kms and still purrs like a kitten, just routine maintenance. There is a Lexus ISF in the USA with I am sure over 300,000 miles. Care to elaborate? It is statistically proven that Lexus and Toyota are the most reliable brand in the world. THAT is not anecdotal :)
4:19 Bro, You need Fuel !!
I heard some Lexus and Toyota models may get Android Auto for 2020. I hope they do.
DSTY They do
Tacoma finally
The new TRDs are getting them
Kell Lessley All 2020 Toyotas with Entune 3.0 have Android Auto
I love the exhaust note without the crackles.
I love Lexus and the F-series vehicles (IS-F, GS-F etc) but I wouldn't get this one, the track edition specifically. The RC-F on its own starts at ~$65k and the track edition starts at.......$97k. That is LC500 money lol.
I guess if you REALLLLY like the look of it but meh
Thats over ten grand more than a GS-F, wtf
I guess if you really like the look of it - you can spend much less money on modifying exterior.
in my opinion not every car need to be rock hard track focus offering like bmw and merc, its good that lexus and some other manufacturer offer something a bit more grand tourer esque to differentiate in the market a bit
You're better off buying the Lexus LC 500
Different cars different purpose.
One of these days I'm going to see you guys out driving. Fun seeing your reviews from the Columbia River Gorge.
Superb! I love this vehicle. Personally I’d remove the rear wing. Great video 👍
JLo yes but that boxy godzilla still have the power
I love it, When you get rid of it, can I have it as it's worth more than all my cars?🤣
102k? if your dealer let u get this with 102k, its a no brainer to get it. I was interested and they asked me 130k for a 105k one, and I said nah and they were like whatever. dealers easily charge about 20k+ extra on this thing
You put 400 pounds of weight reduction in the description but it was 150 pounds
DisneyChannelFlow 2 hello MrTLexify
You can say that The interior of this car is old, but is much better looking than the m4 our the mercedez, to me is like a swiss watch, is classic and timeless.
Really really cool initiative from Lexus
And they kept the N/A V8
But it's still way too heavy for a N/A " performance " version of a sports car
Maybe some rich enthusiasts wil buy it but no is not worth 100K at all
Initiative* no disrespect
@@dedan2 No problem 👍

How many of you buy sports cars and set lap records with them? This can do laps reliably and consistently and still have road use. That's the whole point. Otherwise you're welcome to tune your own car. Some folks want a vehicle that they can buy and track immediately.
I like the old front more with the separate daytime running lights.

All those AMGs are probably in the junkyard or out of warranty sitting in garage. This car has been in the market since 2015. And the powertrain is literally 16 years old technology, and still the car is an ultimate GT machine also a Track car. RC F will be gone in 2025 then people will bitch and moan. Also once 2UR dies off the brand Lexus will be dead. Plus the engine sound is motorsport type and not the stupid wetfart style. Just get a basic RC F instead of TE because here you lose TVD, you lose the ventilated seats and heated steering. Far too expensive because of CF parts. Although it retains more value than base RC F. Also to anyone reading this avoid 2023+ because they ripped off TVDs, no more Driver memory.
Not everything depends on 0 to 60 lol
Stick with your Miata or FRS. Leave us real car guys be...
I bought an old one of these certified used. Ultrasonic Blue with the carbon Performance Pack which also includes the torque vectoring differential. for < 50k. This car is a bargain! The TVD makes turns feel liquid slalom mode. I've driven a lot of cars in my life, some were faster, and the RCF has a fat ass, and is a tad overweight but if you are not going to the track every week or trying to race Mustang and Camaro's light to light. You are going to freaking love this car. It is very very forgiving and with the differential you can actually drive around corners with the throttle. it is very confidence inspiring. It run quiet and gets a little noisy when you're on the throttle. The Mark Levinson sound system is bangingI I get 28+ mpg highway if I put it in eco mode and keep my foot out of it. (Note if you are in performance plus and driving like an asshole you're going to get more like 12 mpg) If you don't think you have enough power and feel like dropping another 10K and you can buy a supercharger for it and have near 700 HP. If you feel like you need to drop near 200 pounds out of an older RCF just get rid of the seats and put in Racaro buckets of something. The super comfy heated/air-conditioned seats are like 150 pounds apiece. Do I think this car warrants $100,000 price tag no! Lexus was not serious about weight reduction.
This will last forever
Love your videos, Sofyan!
I'd still rather have an M4, but they did a fantastic job with this refresh. The front end looks fantastic.
Ud rather have an M4 because you have no taste..and you like looking like the rest of ppl
@@sandilecele1260 uh oh....butthurt much? Get outta here you clown
I have always bought Toyota and Lexus....absolutely love the cars. I am upgrading to a used RCF TE. I would never buy a BMW, Audi nor Merc. If you want one of those cars, go for it. I will always buy Toy!!
Track version yet a regular M4 will smoke this thing on the track.
sam I am an RCF owner and that is not true. And anyway I wouldn’t care, RCF is much more beautiful and exclusive.
Lexus loses it value just like any other luxury vehicle. So I wouldn't believe the wive's tale about Lexus holding their value. Residual values are set by the banks and the food chain of auction and dealerships just play along to make as much money as they can out the consumers.
Edmunds long term test of the Lexus GS loosing over 1/3 of it's value from MSRP.
"Resale and Depreciation:
We accumulated 20,940 miles on our 2013 Lexus GS 350. Edmunds' TMV® Calculator valued the vehicle at $47,431 based on a private-party sale. The market did not seem to support this price, as CarMax offered us $40,000 and the best we could muster from a private partywas $41,000. This made for 30-percent depreciation from our paid price of $58,377. We were disappointed
I've had my RCF for three years now. With the new facelift and minor upgrades on the new RCF I think I will keep mines for another year or two. New one might get rid of the V8 and opt out for their twin turbo V6. Who knows.
This is one of those cars that won't be fully appreciated until a decade from now, long after it's gone forever. I can see some TH-camr taking this car out and lamenting the fact they never had the chance to buy one new since they were too young/poor or both at the time..much like I was with the original IS 300 and that sweet straight 6 that was available with a manual at the time. Having said that, this track edition is awesome, but too pricey for what you get for the money. Carbon ceramic brakes are cool and all that, but not really practical unless you really will be tracking this thing regularly...and if you do there are better cars for that purpose for the same or less money.
WHERE IS TOYOTA4LIFE??
No matter how successful I am I’m never spending this much money on a vehicle.
You would if you had a couple million.
Wow that’s a great looking car ! I love the exhaust pipes
Ever seen a BMW, Mercedes Benz with 100,000 miles, Lexus will definitely drive 200,000, reliability definitely defines Lexus
Supercharged this thing and ho hoo hooo
No manual so m4 wins and a Toyota supra would be a better Bang for buck because you can easily get 700hp out of it with a down pile ,bigger trubo and tune. 4k in upgrade for 700hp
Lexus can't sell the regular versions of the car so they go and make a $100k version!
Tell me any car company that really sell any cars over that price?

@Omar Said for $100k it deserves a better wheel for sure.
Agreed. But this still looks better than the new Supra's...that one is a joke.

My 2015 Lexus RCF lookS way more aggressive than this Nissan Maxima/Altima normal car transformation. EWW
Too heavy to be a real sports car
Exhaust crackle is technically nonsense for a naturally aspirated engine. Why should you add nonsense to a car?
You can put a popcorn machine on the backseats, if you want to hear "crackles and pops", which would be more usefull.
This would be perfect in AWD but then it would be heavier
JustJay 0312 naw, grow some balls and enjoy a proper rwd
For the record when the Lexus RCF launched in 2015 it weighed @ 3,958lbs! You clearly stated the weight of a 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT 392 weighing @ 4,240lbs.
Exterior: 7/10
Interior: 8/10
Quality: 9/10
Practicality: 4/10
Performance: 6/10
Value: 6/10
Overall: 40/60
Interior & exterior are always subjective. But value of a used RCF should be a 9/10, and the track edition should be a whole 1/10. Quality is def a 9-9.5, my RCF is built like a tank weight and mechanically talking. But you never buy a coupe for practicality ever. The only thing you need in a coupe is a good sized trunk and the RCF comes with the standard size. Practicality for a coupe i'd say 9 if you prefer a car that will last and is low maintenance, and a 5 if you're buying it for performance.
Car still looks fresh by todays standards, granted the concept of the current IS as the lfcc debuted o
In 2012 but was designed in 2011. Of which the rc was based. Lots of design cues that are copied by many other brands to this day., e.g wide front bumper splitters below the headlights.
I heard "japans bmw M4?" and thought "the supra??"
*sprays and wipes glasses* IS THAT A SUPRA??
STILL A SHARP LEXUS RC A NEW ONE COMING 2026 AND NEW SEDAN AS WELL COMING 2026.
I have an ISF. I really love these cars because I don't track it every day, the spec sheet isn't all that matters. These cars are way more unique than a BMW that you see everywhere
Lexus is very boring. Only car that is amazing is the LFA but each to their own.

Sorry lexus. Always pay way too much money for the least perfomance in its class. My 2015 ctsv smokes this easily and is way functional and easier to drive. You have to drive one to understand gm really made a well balance car.
People purchase a Lexus for the craftsmanship and superior reliability, not performance.

No Android auto because Android is for peasants.
My mom had a 1998 Nokia 5110 and my dad a 2005 Nokia 1100. Both are superior to Android and iPhone.
Ha for that price I'll take a challenger redeye hellcat, or a jeep trackhawk!
Glad Lexus makes this but from concept it has been a compromised vehicle since it's a mash of two existing platforms; that's why the normal RCF is so heavy.
I owned an E90 M3, I enjoyed the car but it didn't really feel twice the cost of a loaded pony car for me. ZL1 or just a nicely optioned Vette for me.
Thanks for listening man
I absolutely love the styling of the rcf but the wheel to body size ratio is that the wheels are way to small..
Got a little nervous after those launches eh? See that hand sweat on the steering wheel lol
Why does it weigh so much? Doesn’t have an AWD system.
Ridiculous title. In Europe the normal RC F has been picked over the M4 in reviews. I am really hating all these car channels with this dumb click bait titles and average content
I would never get a BMW over a Lexus or Toyota. I remember driving a Toyota like 15 years ago and driving a Lexus 10 years ago never will get a BMW instead of a Lexus.

Aside from the reliability, BMW is better than Lexus in every way

@@kristians2704 it’s the best in Being in the Shop or being fix by Mechanic. I buy a car to drive not to bring to the shop all the time😂
@@orlandovelastegui1391 If we’re talking about used cars then you’re right. But for people that buy/lease new cars usually don’t keep them for more than 3-6 years so the reliability isn’t that important. So if you remove the reliability thing then the Germans make the best cars
The biggest problem with the 2020 Track Edition is it's price. There are better options out there for the same money or less. I still love my IS-F though :)
As an rcf owner, couple of factual corrections to your review:
1. Torsen Diff is also std on the "base" RCF...tvd only avail on the performance package, so base rcf and track edition have same mechanical diff
2 Never had fold down seats, only pass through
Also can you tell Doug demuro he is an idiot
Thanks
Overall good review...find dry roads for v8s
Which one would you take the Mustang 5.0 gt or Lexus 2020 RC F Track?

I wish reviewers wouldnt poopoo gas mileage for cars like this. Sure, the COST of gas isnt an issue, but maybe people dont want to stop to fill up the tank every 5 minutes if they daily it.
I love Lexus it Toyota from japan
Lexus - reliable luxury more or less... But always lagging the germans in performance.
That's because they under-tune their engines for reliability, not because of inferior engineering. They just know their market and don't want to change. End of the day, it'll cost them more money to compete directly with the Germans on performance when they don't have the brand recognition for that. I read somewhere all their engines are tuned below threshold for long term reliability in HP/litre, where most German cars tune well over that for performance. The Germans know their customers will pay anything for their cars, and most will lease. They also know the dummies will buy the used cars after lease and pay for tons of repairs, which is more $$$ in parts/labour. German cars are meant for the wealthy, then the poor.
If a backseat can't fit for adult I don't know why they still made it, why can't the designers spare the space for more funny equipment.
This is the RCF that Lexus should have released on Day 1.
