Great review!! You hit the nail on its head about Lexus’ V8 performance line. The car is about emotion and character, not track times. I’ve had my IS500 for over 2 years at 27k miles, and I’m still in love with this thing. Thanks for posting! 👍🏽
@@jeremiah123002 The engine’s smooth power deliver and its sound, but the smooth ride and the design’s uniqueness. There’s nothing like it on the roads.
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.
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.
@@NorthEastCor so far so good!! Mine is a 2015 liquid platinum with the premium package. Car is a fantastic road trip car. Seats are so comfortable. My only gripe is it needs an exhaust. It is was to quiet. I dont miss the M4 i had before it so that says something.
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 😁
I have 220k miles on my 2015 GS 350 F sport and I have 0 issues as well car still feels brand new . Lexus makes great cars that will last a life time !
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.
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.
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.
The detail of this review is insane. It is as if a viewer is going to buy and is looking at all small tiny details that what makes the car is. Great work!
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.
This RCF is the best F car they made it out of Japan. The history of RCF is just as legendary as this vehicle is, it was built from ground up on a bespoke chassis which was engineered from IS, GS and SC on the sole purpose of Track experience (it was built on Fuji speedway and Nurburgring) for every driver and it shows the car feels like a tank. With the TVD Slalom mode it feels like a missile at high speed turns and highway triple digit numbers. The interior has zero rattle or squeaks or any sorts. It's all leather interior as well. This is the best car for anyone who like a superb driver centric coupe with a sonorous motorsport and fairly powerful engine. I love this car, it even bests LC 500 in it's driving dynamics and performance, you can track it all the way and it won't budge. Also CD Player with Aux port is a massive plus. I want my music to be precise as this with high quality FLAC content to suit this engineering masterpiece of an art. Fantastic review, I still visit it time to time.
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 @@
My favorite part of these interiors/some exterior is that they can retrofitted to 2014 - 2024 Lexus IS/RC models, I retrofitted the entire center console (Knob Edition), Borderless Rearview mirror, Front Dome light, Airbag Cover, Premium Paddle Shifters and BBK into my 2018 IS; mixed in with real Carbon fiber window trim + Lexus NX Chrome window button switches and Carbon fiver glove box trim and it makes any older Lexus IS car feel refreshed from the day they bought it at least. As long as you like simple the interior is something I always love being in, when they finally get away from this interior I cant wait to see what else we can remove and retrofit onto older cars :) Sound deaden the whole car with dynamax and man does it feel lovely.
First time viewing your channel. Bro you nailed it! Great video! Great review! I own a ‘15 Lexus RC350 F sport and i really love the RCF. I want one so bad. It is insanely underrated!!!
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.
I honestly belive the RC-F is gonna get the supra and LFA treatment nobody likes it while its here but once its gone its like oh my god toyota has a 5.0L v8 luxury coupe thats rwd
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.
I own a RC350 F Sport AWD (311hp) not even close to a RCF, Lexus made this RCF car for the car lover that LOVES to drive across any country it’s a perfect pleasure, it’s how you approach this car… same for the IS500 and LC500…it’s a cruiser with muscles, not made for drag but again a muscle cruiser with insane reliability…buy them before they go away they will keep their value and by the way I get more looks at my car than a Porsche…I rest my case

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?
Love my 2016 RCF. I got a royal blue with black out and red/ black interior. I have 46K miles on her now. These cars are solid and reliably bullet proof.
I got an RC350 F sport and I'm looking it except for the fact that there's not a single space to put even the smallest masafi😅. I truly love the car. Quick enough for the roads. I'm not going track with it. Sporty and a the same time. Have no trouble doing almost 200km daily on it. In the future I might go for an rcf.
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😎
I think you got it just right! Nice video. The car is often compared with the M3 in Europe but it's indeed a breed apart and built for the street, not the trac. Lexus rules!
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. 😁
Old school says that it has been through all the bugs so you know you have RELIABILITY….. why do. You think Toyota/Lexus are always on top for reliability….the infotainment in my car is so old but it does not break down, and I just use my IPhone (Waze) for gps. I love my car so much and my bucket list is by far the LC500…. Even the IS500 I would be proud to own
Thank you for reviewing the car for what it is. Fantastic job comparing the weight to the new M2 as well! These are really not that heavy by today standards which seems to be the biggest criticism of the car… CONFUSING. +1 Sub ✅
whether you like it or not, you'll be cross shopping this car with the M4 or the corvette and I always find myself leaning more towards something more pure like the M4 or even a used slightly older AMG GTs despite the added maintnance cost etc, this is a good highway cruiser with decent power but it's not enough imo also, it would've been good if there was a clearer distinction between the LC500 and RC-F... they're both heavy with similar performance figures, and now you're coming out saying we're not meant to compare this with performance cars and as far as I know, no one is complaining about the LC500 being not "sporty enough", what's the point of this car then ? it's nothing more than a lower trim LC500
Rc stands for radical coup f stands for fugii Japan where they test track the car I adore this car so much I bought one in December it’s fantastic worth every cent stunningly gorgeous in every way
Steering wheel pivoting around a fixed point is old school tilt wheel design probably dating to the 70s or even earlier. I don't think it's trying to be a muscle car, I think it's trying to be a Lexus.
What if you have one and you haven't seen it go back to the dealership and ask for it ..if it's someone's car you've never seen it in maybe they took it out or if not tell them to go back and get it from the dealership..because yes they come with a spare ..every lexus still does that ..unlike alot of other car companies of lately.
ur not buying a lexus to win races or set track records!!!!!! if ur trying to do that in any lexus ur missing the point. this is for if you want that 5.0 mustang but something nicer on the inside. or more reliable for long hauls. its fun on track too but if you're trying to beat an M4 coupe around the corner just do yourself a favor and look at a diff brand
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.
7abibi that car is very slow honestly Yeah it fun to drive sure it sounds good too But the interior is so outdated and it's so annoying to get smoked by almost every inline six made after 2019 when you are driving a v8 supposedly 467hp (realistically 360whp) lol

It is not obnoxiously loud. I would hope you can turn off the speed limit exceeded warning system, that would be a deal breaker for me.
Great review
Great video, this guy is hilarious.
RCF is beautiful
Please do a 50kmh to 250 kmh sport + run in this car! Gret review BTW, much appreciated!
what year did they go to touch screen?
2017
Most of the folks with negative comments on this car..more then likely have never been in one never mind have driven one
Great review! Agreed all the way
I'm sorry but the only company that can pull off a retro inspired interior would be Hyundai (their concept retro cars looks good)
There tons of reviews that call it Japanese Muscle. Where have you been?
You are very handsome and smart
Imagine if there was a manual option
RC = Retro Coupe?
Steering wheel pivoting around a fixed point is old school tilt wheel design probably dating to the 70s or even earlier. I don't think it's trying to be a muscle car, I think it's trying to be a Lexus.
Is honestly rather lose the spare wheel for a flat and usable trunk
I’ve never seen a spare tire in a RCF. Must be overseas spec.
Hawaii gets them too I think, what’s awesome Is that it get a PS4S spare tire and not some lesser grade.
What if you have one and you haven't seen it go back to the dealership and ask for it ..if it's someone's car you've never seen it in maybe they took it out or if not tell them to go back and get it from the dealership..because yes they come with a spare ..every lexus still does that ..unlike alot of other car companies of lately.
I was wondering the same
ur not buying a lexus to win races or set track records!!!!!! if ur trying to do that in any lexus ur missing the point. this is for if you want that 5.0 mustang but something nicer on the inside. or more reliable for long hauls. its fun on track too but if you're trying to beat an M4 coupe around the corner just do yourself a favor and look at a diff brand
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.
I'll never sell my ISF, It is a near perfect car.

I think that RC stands for racing coupe
7abibi that car is very slow honestly
Yeah it fun to drive sure it sounds good too
But the interior is so outdated and it's so annoying to get smoked by almost every inline six made after 2019 when you are driving a v8 supposedly 467hp (realistically 360whp) lol
Good video
What does RCF stand for? It doesn’t even matter! (the rock voice)
Not your regular software/programmer car. LOL!
LMAO yeah, nowadays car looks made for Geeks/nerds obsessed with electronics.
Cars should be as possible as mechanic...
