Here's why everyone is wrong about the Lexus RCF

[@thomaschristopherwhite9043]

This is one of those cars where "no one wants them" and then somehow they never become cheap in the grey market because everyone is elbowing each other to buy it.

[@johnjohn3241]

Bruh same shit im saying!!

[@lords1969]

I had an M4 before I bought my RC-F. This video explains the difference very well. It took me a little while to realise its not about what it doesn’t do, but what it does very well. All the twin turbo and tech cant match the experience of what is a very confident and memorable driving experience. Great review of a mighty Japanese machine.

[@motaz1975]

[@realRichHunting]

As an LC500 owner.... I can honestly say that the RCF is highly under rated. It's weird... but it's cool.

Exactly right, it's a sporty muscle/GT car, that is not a pure track car, but can be enjoyable on the track if one so wishes. A very underrated and misunderstood car, future classic me thinks. Think luxury Mustang with a sportier edge.

[@2ZZGE100]

Yes, a luxury Mustang GT or a Camaro SS is a good analogy. Comparing it to a Challenger, is borderline criminal. That thing is a huge honking floating boat. Neither Supra nor M2 are dedicated track cars either. They cannot hold a candle to something like a Cayman around a race track, which is what I call a proper track car.

[@neilr4867]

I've had my 2018 RCF since new. You're spot on with your review. I keep telling people, it's a Japanese Mustang. It's a muscle car and I love it for that. It's big, loud and powerful. It's not really a track car (although it is quite capable). It's not as fast as an M4 or C63, but that doesn't matter. Long after those two cars have fallen apart, the RCF will still be going. PS - You can turn off a lot of those speed limit alarms and seat belt warnings if you can get Toyota Techstream 😁

[@zodiac909]

They should have hired you to do the marketing of this car, you clearly understood and explained it better than most people would. Well done 🙏

[@NewShockerGuy]

The rear vent on the back bumper are in fact functional. Every vent on the RCF is functional. I love my 2020. You never see these cars anywhere and no one knows what the hell they are. They just think it's a typical lexus. Then you take off and people are suprized that it has an 8 cylinder under the hood. It's comfortable, sounds awesome (when you change the exhaust), and is just a nice place to be inside. Yes I'd love more HP but honstly it has zero issues getting into triple digit speeds. I was cruising almost at 95 effortlessly driving to work early in the morning, and when I looked down I was surprized I was going that fast. Very stable and planted.

[@unitedfundingcorp-realestate]

I have a 2015 with BORLA Exhaust which Adds to the Japanese Muscle Car EXPERIENCE. I love driving it, hearing it and enjoying it as a street car!!! A GREAT VALUE WHEN PURCHASED USED.

[@ezmarktc2696]

[@lostalx]

Very solid review. It's a shame they have this speed limiter. In North America, USA there's no warning like that but it's horrible that we do not get that Memory seat setting, they removed it from 2022. Also we do not get Auto Mirrors either. They keep axing a lot of features of this car just to keep it running for the GT3 homologation. TVD has been put to rest since 2022 across the world though sadly.

[@JacobMitchell-df7np]

[@christopherhaslam6373]

Exactly! I have one, bought it new 2016..wouldn't trade it for the world. 85k miles not one issue, runs like it's brand new. Awesome car get compliments everywhere I go. Of course I have every piece of carbon fiber ever made for an RCF installed so she looks outstanding @@

The RCF is what you get when an LC500 and an IS500 make a baby.

More like an LC500 and GSF. RCF weighs more than the IS500, more akin to the GSF.

[@carfan5296]

Ironically it is in the top 3 of the IMSA GTD/GTP series taking the podium at Daytona and Long Beach. So this so called GT car is beating Ferrari 296, BMW M4, Corvette C8 Z06, Lamborghini Huracan, McLaren 720 on track. No excuses needed it holds it’s own. I have an S58 engine ///M product in the garage as well. And I still pleased with the RCF😎

terrific take on the car. I did a short test drive in a used one and was blown away by how comfortable it was as well as feeling quick despite the weight and it sounded great but not overpowering. Many of the reviews of the car colored my preconceptions but the drive showed me it was an awesome machine. Does the rear seat fold down? How good is the Cruise control and lane tracing?

[@KyseBeanz]

I noticed the Lexus RC is the TRUE SPORTS CAR version of the "Scion TC" (Touring Coupe ... Racing Coupe). Many may rhink this is crazy BUT the body styles look just alike. If you put the Gen2 TC next to the RC, until you see under the hood and interior. -Gen2 Scion tC Owner/Lexus Lover Here. 😁

[@slappagon]

[@danmamo5849]

[@awwwwwyeahhhhh1110]

The problem with this car is not the car itself, it’s the price. Yes, the interior is nice in an outdated sort of way, but it’s also CHEAP. For over 70,000 buckeroos we can’t even get leather on the horn button of the wheel??? Plastic creaks everywhere as well. Concerning the engine, yes it’s very nice. However, it’s so subdued and boring. You really have to mash the pedal down to get power which is the exact opposite on any Mustang or M2. For me the car is gorgeous but is a fair bit overpriced. I just feel like we make too many justifications for this car. “It’s a Japanese muscle car that’s not meant to be as fast as other muscle cars, not supposed to be able to turn.” “The interior isn’t supposed to be like a modern car, it’s nice that it’s dated with plastic everywhere and an odd touch control system we don’t even use.” “It’s okay that the entire trunk is taken up by a heavy af spare tire.” For me the question arises, what are we paying for? The money isn’t going to an updated interior, nor is it in superior tech, nor is it in an engine that is meant to outperform other cars, nor is the engine note any different than any budget V8 in any other Camaro, Challenger/Charger, or Mustang. Just an odd miss by Lexus imo just for the single fact that it’s $70,000 and you can get an M2, AMG, RS3, Dark Horse, and Supra all for less than that. Just my opinion though.

Other journalists aren’t wrong. They actually say they enjoy the look and what this Lexus is about. But they criticize its performance, interior, and transmission. They are 100% correct on their criticisms. Why? Because Lexus tried to directly compare this car to the M3. You simply dont do that unless you have a car that performs like an M3, which this car doesn’t. This is a new car using an old engine and platform. Lexus can make all the body vents they want lol. It’s not fooling anyone. It’s a great long-term reliable sporty car. But it’s far from being anything more than that.

[@awwwwwyeahhhhh1110]

Thank you. I wrote a very similar comment. Yes, this car is fantastic, but with a $70,000 base price tag, it just doesn’t do enough. Any M car blows this thing out of the water.

Good review. I agree it should not be compared to a Supra (even though, a Supra is not a dedicated track car either and it is a 2 seat GT sporty luxury car unlike a Porsche Cayman that is a pure 2 seater sports car). Only thing, there is nothing in common between an RCF and a Challenger. If you had said, Camaro SS or Mustang GT, that would be a good point as RCF is a similar formula with more luxury, but Challenger is absolutely a huge 4400 lbs boat with flimsy chassis and suspension. RCF is not meant to go in a straight line. Like you said, it is officially over 70 percent different than a base RC. These days, muscle cars like Camaro SS, Mustang GT or the RCF are meant to do extremely well on the racetrack. Many RCF owners do competitive time attacks on track. That is why RCF has all of the cooling systems, a stiff suspension, big Brembo brakes, big wheels and high-performance summer tires etc. It was developed over two years in 2013 - 2014 on various tracks around the world especially Nurburgring and Fuji. It circles the skid pad at almost 1.00g all day without losing grip. Over 2 years, they designed and tuned the RCF around many tracks in the world. Nürburgring and Fuji are the two most dominant ones. I own an RCF with carbon and TVD myself. I tracked it a few times. It does phenomenally well around the race track.
