Overview

The 2015 Lexus RC F makes for an excellent contender in the compact coupe. Available as a standalone option, the Lexus RC F has a base MSRP of $62,400, competing directly with the Audi RS 5, the BMW M4 Coupe, and the Mercedes-Benz AMG C63 Coupe. Only a 5.0L V8 gas engine is offered, mated to an 8-speed automatic engine. Together, they produce 467 horsepower and 389 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 4.7 seconds, the Lexus RC F maintains a combined fuel economy of 19 MPG. Lexus offers the Lexus RC F in 7 stunning colors, with the infrared being a particular favorite of ours. 

Buying Advice
