Performance That Stands the Test of Time
Lexus has always championed the RC F’s naturally aspirated 2UR-GSE V8 engine, and for good reason. The RC F V8 is a great reminder that performance cars in the 2010s were thrilling, especially at a time where many automakers have moved to smaller turbocharged and hybrid powertrains. The engine output is unchanged, even though Lexus Japan says the Final Edition will have “highly precise” tuning. The limited-edition RC F in Japan will only be available at 200 units, making it a collector’s item. Pricing for the RC F Final Edition starts at 13,600,000 yen (around $87,169), solidifying its place as a premium offering in the lineup.
A Decade of Memories
Since its debut in 2014, the Lexus RC has been a standout in the luxury coupe segment. The RC was a global success thanks to its striking design and Lexus’s reputation for reliability. It sold around 79,000 units. The performance-oriented RC F with its aggressive design and track-inspired engineering sold 12,000 units. Lexus has reportedly been working on a new coupe that will allegedly carry the LFR badge. While a successor to the RC was not planned, the company is reportedly developing a new model. The Lexus RC Final Edition doesn’t just say goodbye, it’s a celebration for a model which has brought style and performance to a whole generation of drivers. The Final Edition of the RC F is a chance for fans to own a part of automotive history as naturally-aspirated V8 coupes are becoming increasingly rare. Lexus will continue to build coupes that are a balance of luxury and performance while maintaining its reputation for precision, craftsmanship, and precision if the LFR rumors prove true. The RC Final Edition will ensure that this chapter closes on a high-note, proving that “Radical Coupe’ was more than just a title.
