White Lexus RCF on Vossen Wheels Has the Look of a Cult Car

We don't know if you've noticed this, but Japan has lost a supercar, the LFA. Sure, it had the engine in the front and cost a small fortune, but it was special. In its place, we were given a new type of vehicle, extremely stylish but not technologically advanced.

Despite harsh criticism every time a new car is launched, Lexus is now the company to beat in the American luxury market. Not surprisingly, the RC F (or RCF, as everybody is calling it) is the talk of the town.

At first, it was criticized for being much heavier than the new BMW M4, with which it competes. However, some appreciated the fact that Lexus didn't downsize and stuck a 5-liter V8 with a more efficient combustion cycle under the bonnet.

From a cosmetic point of view, the RCF doesn't need anything. Its spindle grille is wide and dominates the design while the LED headlights aren't too shabby either. With just a few small changes, such as the installation of custom wheels, the Lexus coupe can look even better.

Lexus and Miami alloy specialists Vossen Wheels share a deep connection. That's why we believe this white car came straight off the dealer's lot and got custom rims measuring 20x9 in front and 20x10.5 at the back, finished in graphite.

This coupe contender from Mount Fuji has a fitting shade of white to cover its 5-liter V8 atmospheric engine that makes 467 HP and 530 Nm (391 lb-ft) of torque. An 8-speed automatic takes care of rowing the gears while the car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds.

Prices start at a very reasonable $62,400, coming as standard with LED headlamps and daytime running lights, Smart Access with push-button Start/Stop, paddle shifters, frameless rearview mirror, backup camera. However, you really need to get the $4,4000 Premium Pack, which adds heated/ventilated front seats, blind spot monitoring, carbon fiber interior trimmings, automatic wipers, electrochromic mirrors, memory seats and other comfort features.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
