The 2023 Lexus RC & RC F

The Lexus RC is, and always has been, crafted to stand apart from the crowd. Its muscular form, aggressive stance, bold fascia, available Premium Triple-Beam LED headlamps and strong character lines that sweep toward the dramatic rear valance and LED taillamps allow the RC to captivate from every angle. For 2023, the RC and RC F interior have been updated to accentuate premium elegance with an upgraded interior to continue its luxury sports coupe prowess. 

The RC Line

Generating 258 lb-ft of torque from 1,650 to 4,400 rpm, the engine is paired to a rear-wheel drive system and an eight-speed Sport Direct-Shift automatic transmission.

The RC 300 AWD: six-speed automatic transmission paired with a 260-horsepower 3.5-liter V6.

The RC F

The 2023 RC F continues its high-performance signature with GT3-inspired looks and naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 producing 472 horsepower. RC F is the most powerful V8-powered Lexus to date and boasts stunning looks, cunning dynamics and a unique exhaust.
