Lexus is just such a great brand! They're getting way too less recognition than they deserve! Beautiful cars with such a great build quality, great motors and best reliability.
This car is for older guys. You young buckaroos don’t understand. This is the last of the simple Japanese luxury sports cars. Things are about to get very wacky with batteries and crap. This is for those who don’t like technology.
@@salimrandallDefine older? I bought my 2015 USB new 8 years ago when I was 38. Main reasons for me was I wanted a V8 once in my life before missing the opportunity, I wanted reliability, and what I really want is an exotic but couldn't afford it, so I wanted something as close to that in looks as possible.
LOVE my 2020. NO carbon package but have all the other cool bits like cooled seats, heated wheel, etc. 1000% agree with your logic of keeping it simple and reliable but still having the "gut" feel that makes it so much fun w/o all of the worries over bits breaking because they are overengineered.
I own an RCF CF/TVD similar to the one in the video spec'ed at over $90K. In reali life, actually it still holds up really well today even on the track against M cars I never get embarrassed by any comparable turbo sports car on the track while retaining the high-revving V8 soundtrack. A driver who really knows how to extract all of the performance from the chassis and engine, will thoroughly enjoy it on the track. While not necessarily best in a particular area, it is a great do-everything car. In the used market, something to beware of is that there are a lot of RCFs below $40K that have been abused badly by multiple previous users and accidents as well as poor maintenance records so the higher mileage below $45K are mostly poorly kept RCFs with lots of issues. Regarding the weight, even a BMW M2 is now nearly 3850 - 3900 lbs so with all of the track oriented equipment, chassis reinforcement and luxury, it seems to be heavy, but driving dynamics wise and power to weight wise sum of its parts is very current despite being so dated. Not sure why LC500 needs to overshadow every RCF review? Apples to oranges driving experience, really. The LC500 as I had said in the previous video, is a very different car. RCF was meant to compete with the M4. LC is not a do-everything car. It i focused to be a grand touring, luxury and halo car. It is much softer and is about 400+ lbs heavier with the same power and also does not have track oriented hardware like cooling systems etc. on it. LC500 transmission is too big to fit in the RCF and also does not have the cooling systems in it. It tends to overheat on the track very easily. Not to mention, while the 10 speed has better shift logic in auto mode, in manual mode at maximum attack, AISIN claims RCF's 8 speed shifts at 100 ms compared to LC500's 120 ms according to AISIN.
@@hamsterbrigade At full attack, they are very close. AISIN itself says max attack shift time is 100 ms for the AA80E in the RCF and 120 ms for the 10 speed in LC500. That is only talking about manual mode, redline shifts in SPORT+. Overall, the 10 speed is better since it has better shift logic in auto mode and also better shifting part-throttle (smoother). I have driven LC500 extensively and really liked the transmission better shifting at 4000 rpm as it is more responsive/reactive and less jerky than the my RCF version of the 8 speed. RCF 8 speed completely changes character once in SPORT+ and shifting at redline in manual mode and is crazy aggressive at redline in manual mode. On my channel, I Dragy GPS data posted and, in my acceleration, run telemetry graphs, the power is so continuous through shifts in the RCF 8 speed that the GPS graph does not even register a disruption.
Literally love this car. Love my IS500. Didn’t love my LC500. But yet I want an RC-F 2nd car beside my IS… This platform with a V8 & the most modernized tech is truly an ideal driver. So good.
@@hamsterbrigade Awkward big heavy coupe, hard to use daily or in normal use. Tiny trunk. Rough ride & lurchy banging unrefined transmission. Beautiful art piece that’s a bit hard to live with if you actually need to use the car. My IS500 is lighter, smoother, far nicer to toss around & use, just not as much of an art piece but I don’t care.
Those other cars break and in the shop all the time as I’ve owned many ! I decided over this to buy a LC 500 and absolutely love it !!! 130,000 Canadian, great video and thanks .
Love the car for what it is, and not what it isn’t. There’s no arguing that the Japanese produce some of the best quality and reliable vehicles on the road. It doesn’t need a turbo or less weight, it’s got a great design and a n/a v8 which it’s competitors have backed away from a decade ago. The fact that this car is even available in 2024 from a conservative car manufacturer is surprising and we should consider ourselves lucky.
Carbon package gives you the CF front splitter, roof, interior bits, rear spoiler, rear diffuser, and black GSF wheels. When I bought my 2020, that option was $10k but didn't include wheels. Now it's $17k and includes wheels. You don't have to get the CF package in order to get heated steering wheel/seats..etc. That's part of the preium package. Fun note. You can ONLY get Flare Yellow on the RCF that includes the CF package. For whatever reason Lexus/Toyota deemed that in Flare Yellow you had to also spend the $17k more...lol. But, you can get a RC350 in flare yellow no problem. Seems really odd. I'm assuming it's because they figured it would be too much yellow (front lip, roof, spoiler and rear diffuser)? Also note that on the 2023's they did away with the TVD rear differential option. This used to be an option that was included with the pre-face lifted RCF's if you got the carbon/performance package. Then they made it a separate option in 2020. So you could have a TVD without carbon, or get the carbon package with TVD...etc.
Another great review! I absolutely love the POV vids, because you get to see how another person pilots the car. When I'm up at the mini-Tail of the Dragon here in North Georgia, I also stay within gears 2 and 3 to keep the powerband dialed up. Smart move keeping the car at least in Sport mode around town. If you're a moderately spirited driver, Normal and ECO modes will drive you batcrap insane. 😀 I'm super spirited, so my IS 500 is driven 99% of the time in Manual and Sport S+. 😈 Thanks for posting!
Ive told countless people who want to get the CLA45 AMG to PLEASE get the RC F instead. Ignore the dumb 3 prong badge and get the better car. The merc will fall apart and depreciate like a rock past warranty period, cost out the ass to maintain while the RC F costs as much as a camry to maintain, holds its value a lot better and is far far far more reliable.
I wish I got the RC F 2023, I got an IS 500 but the bumper issue is a headache. Some chassis issue for sure and idk how it will last through the time. Im thinking of an RC F now.
Im partial, but the gen 1 styling just looks better. Its more aggressive yet theres a sense of elegance to it. This isn't a great track car stock, but swap out for coilivers and solid LCA bushings and it handles really well. Ive been to Laguna, THill, and Sonoma Raceway with this thing and it rips. I suffers on straights a bit with more powerful cars. Handling wise its a gem. Absolutely amazing.
thats a sign of a good design if people think ur car is new. Since u said urs was a 2015, that means its pre-facelift, right? That ones been around for 10 years already.
Charlie, The sacrifices you make to bring these videos to SUBSCRIBERS have never been greater. 😉😉😁 On a more serious note, I wish Lexus would offer a manual transmission like some competitors still do.
I was eyeing a 2020 but the 2023 touch screen is big for me. The touch pad seems okay but sometimes I just wann click straight to what I want. Hoping to see the 23 model drop around 55k and I’ll pick one up!
Great review. I think you’re spot-on with prioritizing feel and fun over specs. And this thing looks killer in yellow. Wish the calipers were also yellow, but that’s just me. :)
I adore my rc f it’s gorgeous and so fun to drive I honestly like it better than the lc it’s an is coupe which is what I always wanted amazing car and mine is modified north of 500 hp beast
Putting aside the price, I've also loved the RCF, the only thing I hate or dislike about it is literally no manual. Imagine how amazing that car would be. But that's the smallest nitpick I can find for it. I wonder how much Yamaha sound trickle down from the lfa this car got alongside its big brother (lc500).
You can pick one up at $75k, the carbon package is nice to have but absolutely not necessary for that price. Would I pick this over a M4 or RS5, yes if I keep them for a long time. The M4 and RS5 are a maintenance pit after warranty. These Lexus will keep going day in and day out.
Also the Lexus keeps its value after 100000 miles and still running strong. Other cars lost 70% of its values after 100000 miles or you always keep it in the garage.
Great car, the transmission is a let down. I don't mind the weight or how old the tech is. Just the transmission... could be so much better and faster on downshifts to enjoy the fun.
Max I’d pay for this car is 65 ish. More like 60k MSRP, and I still can’t believe this car comes with a CD player. Cmon Lexus, get with the damn times. 91k and I could walk out of a Porsche dealership with a Taycan key.
I don’t know how to explain it i had the isf and the rcf and mark my words i drove a m3 and acura tlx type s and my go to is my lexus it’s going stir up some shit bit n/a v8 for a daily miss me with the bs like i always say catch me if you can 🤣
Can’t nobody boast Lexus or Toyota reliability on a track when they had 3x in a row epic losses in Le Mans due to mechanical failures on the last lap. Shit hurts
There are more sportier cars, or more luxurious coupes, or faster track cars and all for a LOT cheaper. As a Lexus fan for over 20 years I have to keep it real, unlike this video where I am sure they were provided the car by Lexus. The car hasn't changed in a decade (for god sake it has a CD player). The only reason to get one is if you are truly nostalgic for a v8 and love the look of the car. I pray Lexus can innovate with its next iteration, but considering the EV trend, I think the RCF's days are numbered.
The driving experience in other cars are better though I don't get the string of excuses being made. I don't understand what Lexus fanatics have against them making a new vehicle. Watching this review is just sad. This car is just outdated beyond belief at this point. What would be the problem with this engine in a new vehicle? Even other Lexus models are way better inside than this.
True F enthusiasts are wanting a new F car. Lexus doesn’t seem interested in making another one though. Not a single update of anything in the works. I love the RCF, I have one, but it’s a last generation sports car.
Yeah, after having mine for 8 years now, I'm getting the itch to get something new, especially when I see the performance of the new M3/4 both stock and just with a tune. I struggle with that though because this car just works and would easily last me the rest of my life without a loss in performance (I only drive about 5k miles a year). Whenever I take it to get an oil change or annual inspection, mechanics always tell me that the car is awesome and to KEEP IT!
Sorry, that vehicle isn't worth 91K. I like the V-8s just like everyone else but, unless u just want a 2-door, the IS 500 is a much better choice. A 91K Lexus pushing only 472 HP, is not a bargain.
Not to mention it's totally outdated in every single way. The car is joke at this point. The excuses and BS made to give this car a pass are just hysterical.
Even less worth it when you consider a LC500 is what, $15k more? If you have $91k of disposable income, chances are you have $106k of disposable income.
I'm V8 Brah and I approve this message.
Finally someone who understands this car.👍👌

Whenever I take it to get an oil change or annual inspection, mechanics always tell me that the car is awesome and to KEEP IT!
@@originaljunglist93 keep it. RCF is going to be worth a decent amount of money in a few years imo.
too many buttons lol
Why still v8 that old engine from Yamaha
Sorry, that vehicle isn't worth 91K. I like the V-8s just like everyone else but, unless u just want a 2-door, the IS 500 is a much better choice. A 91K Lexus pushing only 472 HP, is not a bargain.
Not to mention it's totally outdated in every single way. The car is joke at this point. The excuses and BS made to give this car a pass are just hysterical.
Agree
Even less worth it when you consider a LC500 is what, $15k more? If you have $91k of disposable income, chances are you have $106k of disposable income.
67k is the msrp
I own an is500 and owned an RCF they are TWO different type of cars other than if your looking at the “spec sheet”
rx ML review?????
