    Lexus RC First Drive

    The RC is a coupe version of the IS sedan. It uses a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder or a 3.5-liter V6 engine coupled to an eight-speed automatic. Ordinarily, it's a rear-drive car, but an all-wheel-drive version is available with a six-speed automatic. High-performance RC F versions come with a 472-hp, 5.0-liter V8. That prodigious output is routed to the rear wheels, and it makes the RC F super-quick, with a loud exhaust bark. The various driving modes sharpen throttle and steering response, but the car's weight ultimately compromises its agility. There is a tiny rear seat that can accommodate two small passengers. All 2023 models now come standard with an updated infotainment system. AEB with pedestrian detection, AEB highway, BSW, and RCTW are standard.
