The base price is a heady $102,245 and my tester had some options including LED headlamps ($1,160), Navigation Package with Mark Levinson Audio (2,725), and Intuitive Park Assist ($500) taking the price to $107,225.

Verdict

At a significant premium over the base RC F due to its limited edition status, the Fuji is a lot more expensive than the lighter and faster BMW M3 and Audi RS5 and this is a difficult one to get your head around. Listen to your heart though and it all makes sense as you blast through the canyons listening to that amazing naturally aspirated V8. It oozes soul and it’s definitely one of my favorites. When the EV tide rolls in this one will be sorely missed.
