5 Reasons The 2015 Lexus RC F Is Amazing. Lexus RC F Review. The Lexus RC F features a 5.0L V8 producing 467 horsepower and 389 lb-ft of torque, sending that power through an 8 speed automatic transmission to a rear Torsen differential or optional torque vectoring differential. Five of the best features of the car include the looks, technology, interior and sound system, rear differential, and the engine.

@Unb3arablePain 8 лет назад

The RC-F is the perfect luxury performance coupe. It can both go fast and remain comfortable/reliable at the same time. Even though it's looks are polarizing, when you see one on the highway (especially at night) it instantly catches your attention. Also, there's a proper N/A V8 in there, not some boring twin turbo 6-cylinder. I really love the RC-F.

I'd disagree. FRS/BRZ's rearlights have circular, round-ish design, while RCF's are more angular and agressive. The only similarity I could spot is the general shape of black part of rear bumpers in both cars.

That IR glass thing is stupid good. I live in Phoenix, and my parent's ES350H that I drove last summer has that. In 115 degree heat, the interior didn't get no where near as hot as you'd expect. I know it's not a Lexus only thing either, so if you live in a damn hot state I highly recommend getting that stuff. Other than that, I'm pleasantly surprised by this video, other than the LFA of course I never really expected anything out of Lexus that had that 'oomph'. Good video as always.

Has lower G rating, Can't break as well. And last but not least...is Slower at the track. And we haven't even touched on the weirdo looks. Toyota should know by now...Copy cats never win.

@d1sturb3d119 7 лет назад

@gipstet lets actually see you put down a quick laptime in the M4 compared to the RCF. I'd love to see you try to get an M4 around the track and actually put down a competent lap time. Lets not forget the Camaro 1le has beat the M4 by a couple seconds consistently around multiple tracks. The M4 is slow as hell. They tout performance credentials they do not have especially when a cheap 40k camaro puts it to shame. The RCF touts nothing, provides an experience and doesn't get hung up on creating a track car and instead gives you a luxury experience.

@ImKyuSugardust 7 лет назад

The looks are beautiful. I'd buy one for a comfortable luxury car with aggressive styling. BMW is getting boring to me nowadays. That's just my personal opinion though. Although, given the chance, I'd take an SL500 over the RCF. However the grill of the RCF gets me everytime. Looks bad on camera but much better in real life. Also, the grill has slight design changes from the RC F-Sport model and the RCF which is pretty nice. I enjoy the RX F Sport that I currently have as well as the IS350C. Definitely will get the RCF (or LC500) in the near future. Great review dude!

@deregulationIC 7 лет назад

I have a rc 350 f sport, it's a nice car, aggressive but not fast. Litterally everything is the same with the rc f, except the engine. It's unique that's the only thing that it has going for it. I hope to get a faster car later on because speed is king

@Q.Lawrence 8 лет назад

It's good to see a positive perspective on this car. I get the sense that despite Lexus making a statement of overtaking BMW, they still seem to be doing their own thing, as opposed to directly competing with the Germans. The GS-F is another example of this.

@michaelpersiano4733 8 лет назад

The RCF TVD and RC F LSD are two different driving experiences. With this all said, get Lexus to lend you a TVD in the spring and put that to the test on DRY roads. Unfortunately, no one will master the complexities of this car in a brief test drive. The RC F competes had-to-head with the M4 and RS5. It just may be the best luxury performance coupe in the world in its price class.

@JohnBlazeZero Год назад

I agree. Which do you prefer between the two diffs ? I personally enjoy not having TVD

@alexgeorge699 8 лет назад

+weirdshibainu agreed, but Lexus hasn't put a manual transmission in their vehicles (at least in the US) since the last gen IS 250, and that presumably had a very low take rate. Even Acura (once known as an enthusiast manual transmission loving brand) has removed manual transmissions from their entire lineup of vehicles.

@weirdshibainu 8 лет назад

+Alex George I'm over 40, and it's amazing to me how many people under 30 hate manuals....too bad, I think it enriches the driving experience

@alexgeorge699 8 лет назад

+weirdshibainu I totally agree, and sincerely hope that at least a few manufacturers continue to make the effort to provide the public with manual transmission equipped vehicles, or better yet, vehicles with no automatic option. If there was an automatic offered, often it's a huge burden when purchasing secondhand to find a clean manual-equipped example. At least cars like the Mustang GT350 and Cayman GT4 offer some hope that the enthusiast community is still very much interested in purchasing manual-equipped vehicles new.

@camryt 8 лет назад

Funny you mention the gearbox, I found it pretty great actually. In auto in Sport+ mode it would shift really close to redline, downshift early and the shifts themselves were quite quick, especially upshifts (well, not as fast as a DCT, but the difference wasn't day and night). While cruising it was really smooth, but in the sportest setting it would kinda kick you in the back. Now what I found weird was that the gearing is quite long for a 8-speed car. I mean, 160kmh/100mph in third gear is pretty long, and you have 5 more gears to play with. Anyways, I really liked the car, I drove it in similar conditions and wasn't scary at all. You couldn't really feel the weight on the street. I really don't get why people shit on this car so much.

Lexus has the best traction and stability control. I have a 2007 IS300 and I thought that it's traction control would be mediocre but its far from that, its really aggressive and doesn't let that back end get an inch sideways.
