About the Lexus RC F
The Lexus RC F is a distinct alternative to the German performance establishment, defined by its charismatic, naturally aspirated 5.0-litre V8 engine. While heavier than its rivals, it offers a more grand-touring-focused experience with exceptional build quality and a high-revving soundtrack that peaks at 7,300 rpm. The 2019 model year represents the final iteration before the 2020 facelift, featuring the original aggressive spindle grille and a torque-vectoring differential that helps manage its substantial mass. It remains a sought-after choice for collectors who value Lexus reliability and the increasingly rare purity of a large-displacement, non-turbocharged engine.

Lexus RC F fun facts
- The RC F's 2UR-GSE engine uses the Atkinson cycle at cruising speeds for better fuel efficiency and switches to the Otto cycle for maximum performance.
- Lexus engineers collaborated with Yamaha's musical division to tune the engine's intake and exhaust notes for a more sonorous high-rpm scream.
- The active rear wing, inspired by the LFA supercar, automatically deploys at 80 km/h (50 mph) to increase downforce.
