Lexus RC F (2014-2025) review – a characterful coupe with one of the world’s great engines | Evo

The Lexus RC F is neither the fastest or most dynamic sports coupe out there, but it still holds lots of appeal – chiefly because of its fabulous V8 engine

RCF had massive traction issues constantly snapping into oversteer. Wet conditions with stability contro being too intrusive even with traction off (he did not know about the pedal dance to completely switch it off) made it difficult to run a good lap as per the driver

Insane comeback. Both were troubled and at one point, not racing. Somehow made a comeback and finished 1st and 6th at Long Beach IMSA. At one point, one of them had fallen so far behind that it was 89th

Strock RCF vs IS350 with exhaust

I also own both as well. After 80 mph, the RCF just teleports into a different time zone.

The upshift paddle actuation definitely seems quicker in my 2016 RCF CF/TVD. Looks like a software tune difference. Downshift actuation and shift speed is the same, but just the time between the upshift paddle pull and the shift happening, seems to be longer in this 2023 RCF.

Freshly detailed at Lexus of Royal Oak




Amazing how such an antiquated and old platform is winning races against cars with way more R&D and modern/technologically more advanced platforms. It is definitely going out with a bang. The most successful racing campaign in possibly Lexus/Toyota history.
