Reviews“While other Lexus models focus on low running costs, the RC F coupé is all about the thrill of driving”
The Lexus RC F is a charming sports car with a firm ride, good handling and superb build quality. A naturally aspirated 5.0L V8 engine produces 471 bhp, and is mated to a slick 8-speed automatic gearbox that lets the Lexus RC F shoot from 0-100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds. The refined cabin is great for driving long distances, with racing car inspired sports seats, a chunky 3-spoke steering wheel and a TFT driver display. 366 L of boot space is handy for storage and you’ll find sat-nav, a 10-speaker stereo and a raft of safety features. Large air vents, LED headlamps and stylish LED running lights emphasise the sporty performance capabilities of the Lexus RC F.
“The RC F takes an already aggressive-looking car to the extreme”
With a domed hood, deep grille, 19” wheels and flared fenders, the LCF styling is extreme. Its style is matched by a powerful 5.0L V8 engine, which produces 467 bhp and is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. 0-100 km/h takes 4.3 seconds and the top speed is 275 km/h, it has a good fuel economy and the technologically advanced cockpit is snug and comfortable, placing the Lexus RC F at the top of its game.
