The RC 350 and RC 350 AWD models feature a 311-horsepower, 3.5-liter V6 engine, producing 280 lb.-ft. of torque and delivering exhilarating performance. The RC 350 achieves 0 to 60 mph in an estimated 5.8 seconds (RWD) and 6.0 seconds (AWD).

The high-performance RC F for 2024 continues its legacy with GT3-inspired aesthetics, exceptional dynamics, and a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 engine, churning out an impressive 472 horsepower.
