RC F

The Lexus RC F has always taken its sporting assignment seriously, packing a 472-hp V-8 engine, an adaptive suspension, a limited-slip rear differential, and Brembo brakes among other tweaks. But that's all coming to an end, as both the RC F and its less performance-focused RC coupe sibling are calling it quits at the end of the 2025 model year. To give the RC F a respectable send-off, Lexus is issuing just one trim for 2025. Dubbed the 2025 Lexus RC F Final Edition, it includes some of the model’s best features cherry-picked from its decade-long run. Equipment includes much of the carbon-fiber bodywork of the previous Carbon Fiber edition, exclusive exterior colors, and a unique interior theme with the requisite numbered plaque mounted to the console. Red calipers are standard, as is an active rear wing. Though we're sad to see another practitioner of the front-engine, rear-drive coupe philosophy meet its demise, the RC F—as balanced and immaculately executed as it is—never quite exhibited the raw, edgy abandon of European competitors such as the Audi RS5 and BMW M4. Still, if the RC F's blend of luxury and performance tickled your fancy, the Final Edition is sure to put a smile on your face.
