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.

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.

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.

@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.

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.

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!

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.

***** The LC is their Halo car, and just happens to be a GT as well. You can have GT cars in different segments... Look, the Wraith is pretty much a GT, and so is the 650i Coupe. Yet the Bimmer costs 3 times less, and is not quite as big. They tried to compete against the germans taking a new approach, that could've worked if people took a different approach of the segment... Lexus wanted to make a pure car, with nice handling, without trying to be the fastest around the Nürb (which in fact is pretty stupid), but with a very thrilling experience, dominated by the 5.0l V8. It is pretty much the definition of a GT.

MetalsForBrunch Well they sell it as a GT car. They do not claim incredible lap times and incredible performances, they claim good performances, great comfort, and feel. That's why they sell the RC F, and it's good at it: you have to feel great behind the wheel, not just know it can lap the Nürb in whatever minutes. I think you have a toned down version of what a GT car can be actually. Yes a GT car can be the Continental GT. But it also can be the Aston martin Vanquish (573hp V12), the F12 (740hp V12... yes it's a supercar but also a big GT), the F-Type R (violent 5.0 Supercharged 550hp V8), or the 911 Turbo (yeah it is indeed the GT 911) !

As additional commentary, the cars tranny is extremely fast when properly set up. In the TVD, the driver should select track, sport+, and expert mode. The RC F was made to be redlined all day if that's your thing. Simply tach the beast up, and it will never let you down. With regard to the M4, it's beaten the M4 on plenty of tracks-including the Road & Track PCOTY testing ( and lots of others including the RS5 as well).

+Amin Sabourian This shows you exactly how much of an actual motor sport fan you are. Turbocharging has more complexity but always ends up getting tamped down because they tend to dominate. Turbos are better period. To make the kind of power most modified turbos make you need serious displacement or the ability to turn a ton of RPM which washes away torque, there's no free lunch.

Nice review! You should review GS F next time. I know they use the exact same engine they put in RC F and it's more expensive than RC F which makes me a bit disappointed. But it's the fastest GS they ever produced periodically after all. The refined GS exterior is really nice too!

Exactly I think when magazines review this car, the numbers aren't as good as the ATS-V, M4, etc, etc. But the term refine fits this and most Lexus cars actually. They never seem to blow you away with performance but more than good enough. Too bad sport mode doesn't really make the car any faster. Even though it's a bit more crude the Dodge Charger (which is more practical long term than the Challenger) with the Hemi, Road & Track and the ZF based 8 speed is very, very nice. Sport mode in that car drops shifting down to 200 ms per blip and is in 5th at the end of the 1/4 mile. Road & Track gives you a excellent launch mode as well.

The only reason why these aren't as popular is because most people who want it can't afford it and those who can choose the better competitors. Lexus should make these more available to those who actually want them.
