Lexus is saying goodbye to the RC and RC F this year, after more than 90,000 units sold. It isn't all bad news, though. The RC is getting a full run in 2025, and the RC Final Edition is a 472-horsepower V8 masterpiece that will cost you almost $100,000. However, we aren't mad about the specs and would still pick the RC over the BMW 430i.

The Lexus RC Enjoyed a Successful Journey

Lexus distributed the RC and RC F models across over 62 nations throughout their production, achieving sales surpassing 90,000 units over the years. The 2025 RC marks the last year for this nameplate, but it is set to make a memorable exit.

The Lexus RC doesn't see many changes this year, and the RC F is only getting a special Final Edition. As the RC F has the most powerful Lexus V8 ever, we have faith that the Final Edition will live up to our expectations.

Make Sure to Catch the RC F Final Edition!

The RC F Final Edition will build on last year's Carbon Package. It keeps the 5.0-liter V8 with 472 horsepower and some small refinements to enhance the sound and revs. Lexus says it moves from zero to 60 MPH in just 4.2 seconds. Even though the RC F's best feature has historically been its value, the price jumps a good $26,000 for its last year.

The RC F Final Edition is set to debut in four striking colors: Incognito, Radiant Red, Sonic Iridium, and Ultra White. This model boasts a sleek design equipped with triple-beam LED headlights, a carbon fiber roof, side rocker panels, a front spoiler, and a rear diffuser. It is also fitted with lightweight 19-inch BBS alloy wheels, eye-catching red brake calipers, and black electric folding mirrors. Additionally, an active rear wing enhances the car's performance.

Lexus decided to make the interior black and red leather with an Ultrasuede finish. A Mark Levinson premium audio system and a 10.3-inch touchscreen come standard, while a carbon fiber “Final Edition” emblem on the console highlights the car’s limited-production status.

The digital interface presents performance indicators such as G-force readings and Launch Control, alongside a traditional analog speedometer. Featuring an eight-speed Sport Direct-Shift transmission equipped with rev-matching and paddle shifters, it guarantees accurate and smooth gear transitions. The RC F Final Edition boasts an exhilarating maximum speed of 168 mph.
