The RC F is a powerful V8 sports car with the comfort we've come to expect from Lexus.

Rear-wheel-drive coupes have a place in every car enthusiast's heart, but they don't have a spot in every enthusiast's garage, because children and spouses and college loans have built up a natural resistance. When a Lexus RC is on your shopping list, it's safe to say you've cleared those hurdles. The RC is nice enough, but the RC F is its own beast. It's the alternative to a Mercedes-AMG C63, BMW M4, Audi RS 5, or Jaguar F-TYPE R. Why snag a Lexus sports car? A naturally aspirated V8 with more than 460 horsepower, snug bucket seats, a carbon-fiber roof, and brake calipers so orange they could squeeze out juice are just some of the reasons.
