Overview

The 2016 Lexus RC F Coupe makes for an excellent contender in the compact coupe class. With 1 trim on offer, the Lexus RC F has a base MSRP of $62,805, competing directly with the Cadillac ATS-V Coupe, BMW M4 Coupe, and sits close to the Jaguar F-Type Coupe. Only a 5.0L V8 gas engine is offered, mated to an 8-speed automatic. Together, they produce 467 horsepower and 389 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 4.4 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 molten pearl being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The Lexus RC F is a decent compact coupe, offering a powerful engine but with a slight delay in power output. The Lexus RC F is offered in one trim offering all the features for the price. Packages like the Navigation System w/Mark Levinson Premium Audio ($2,610) and the leather package ($800) will really make your experience better.
