F-ADAPTIVE VARIABLE SUSPENSION (F-AVS)
Allowing the driver to harness the engine’s power and communicate with the pavement like never before, F-Adaptive Variable Suspension, featuring 30 levels of damping, can stiffen for enhanced response based on the selected drive mode. The linear-solenoid monotube shocks not only improve body roll and stability when cornering, but also offer improved ride quality. With a motorsport-derived design, the system switches damping force four times faster than previous AVS systems, ensuring the driver has unprecedented levels of control.

TRACK EDITION STYLE
Every line of the first-ever RC F Track Edition makes a statement. In addition to a carbon fiber roof that helps lower its center of gravity, it features a more daring front fascia with a carbon fiber spoiler and hood. Adding to its aggressive design, you’ll find ultra-lightweight forged alloy wheels and red brake calipers* with 14.9-inch front and rear Brembo®14 carbon-ceramic brake discs13. These exclusive discs are significantly lighter than traditional cast-iron ones, reducing unsprung weight and increasing responsiveness. And drawing from its GT3 counterpart, it also features a fixed carbon fiber rear wing for even greater aerodynamics.
