Lexus RC for sale

The market for sports cars isn’t as strong as it once was, which has forced some automakers to reconsider their performance-oriented coupes.

The 2025 Lexus RC offers two doors, four seats, and a good amount of style, but it lacks the performance that rivals from Audi and BMW bring to the table. Instead of potent power and razor-sharp handling, the Lexus is canted more toward smooth, quiet cruising.

“The base RC300 is powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder good for 241 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. Full torque is available at 1,650 rpm, so while not overtly quick, it won’t leave you waiting to too long to get up to speed.

They almost do, but the LC 500 generates 1 less horsepower than the RC F, which is a negligible amount. The LC 500 has 3 more pound-feet of torque than its sibling. Again, the driver isn’t likely to notice the difference between 395 and 398 pound-feet. The two rear-wheel cars have the same 168-mph top track speed.
