Toyota’s 2016 Lexus RC F is a high-performance luxury sports car powered by a 5.0 L DOHC 32-valve V8, featuring both direct and port fuel injection. The 8-speed Sport Direct Shift automatic transmission with steering wheel-mounted “F” Spec paddle shifters delivers 467 horsepower and 389 pound-feet of torque.

With this ample amount of power, the RC F gets an EPA-rated consumption of 19 mpg city/highway combined (16 mpg city and 25 mpg highway).

To keep informed of exactly what the engine is doing, simply check the instrument panel that displays G-force, includes a lap-time counter, and shows you the status of the speed-activated rear wing. Lexus states that the RC F is track-proven with a pedigree for performance.

The RC F has a highly rigid body formed by high-strength adhesive bonding, laser brazing, and multiple laser screw welding. This means quiet sound and a quality vehicle, second to none.

Inside, the cockpit looks like a race car.
