High-end performer
For 2020, the Lexus RC F is slightly improved to make it an even more compelling choice for you if you're after a high-performance coupe. The 5.0L engine now produces 472 horsepower and 395 lb-ft of torque, providing you with ample power on the road or the race circuit. The RC F comes with a track-tuned suspension to ensure plenty of grip at the track but it still remains a comfortable daily driver. The 2020 RC F is offered with luxe features you would expect from a Lexus coupe, such as a heated steering wheel, plenty of driver aids, and an impressive 17-speaker Mark Levinson® sound system.
