I like my IS 500, but sometimes I wonder if I should've gone RC F instead. I do like having four doors, but I also like the idea of having the upgraded brakes and cooling on the RC F.

I love these cars, think I always will. Fantastic GT cars that will just last forever. More than enough performance for the road, and a really nice and unique sound from that japanese V8. Not a car I'd necessarily buy new because for what it is I don't think it's worth 90k to me but at used prices (50-60k) I feel like it's a solid offering.

Nice spirited driving at the end. Interesting fact, the 2023 RCF carbon does not come with TVD anymore and has the standard Torsen LSD. They discontinued it last year. They don't have memory seats anymore either. Love my 2016 RCF CF/TVD. Have had mine for 7+ years and still never a dull moment with this car.

amazing car I'm grateful that lexus still use buttons, this interior reminds me of the old audi rs6 c7 or c6 not sure

[EAKOENIG]

Much more better than the competition and what a beautiful car 👌🏼

[midnightdemon]

if only lexus/toyota put some attention to the interior design it would've been such 👌

[markovwms]

Anyone else notice something wrong with the audio for headphone listeners

[RRobbin]

Still kinda looks the same after all those years 😂😂

[Ksport]

of all of the cars Lexus made, this is 1 that should have come w/3 pedals...if you are going to "sell" a "racecar" image; then at least give us a racecar-like/esque driving experience/environment. How much is a 3-pedal conversion on 1 of these?

You would buy an RC-F if you want a performance naturally aspirated V8. If you want luxury just get a regular RC. So if performance is the MO of this vehicle, why does it suck at performance? Why wouldn't you get a Mustang GT Performance Pack with the 10 speed auto?

He is doublespeeding again, call the police!

[jaxcar_spot]

Why does Lexus still have a cd player and the map looks out dated come on Lexus

[mythicalshortpull]

I can get an m3 or m5 for this price 😂

[naveenthemachine]

This cars dated. It’s slow lacks features and it’s overpriced
