Lexus Discontinues RC Coupe Models with Final Edition

Lexus has announced the discontinuation of its RC and RC F coupe models, with the 2025 model year marking their final production. The RC F will be commemorated with a 'Final Edition' featuring unique specifications, such as carbon fiber bodywork, BBS wheels, and a distinctive 'Black & Flare Red' interior trim, limited to 200 units for the Japanese market. This farewell marks the end of the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 engine's era in these models, a remnant of earlier automotive engineering. The RC F's performance remains impressive, achieving 60 mph in just over 4 seconds. Despite the RC's lackluster sales compared to competitors, the model's classic design and engine choice have garnered a loyal following. As automotive trends shift towards more efficient powertrains, the discontinuation underscores Lexus's adaptation to evolving market demands.
