With a big V-8 engine under the hood, a rear-wheel drive layout, and a suspension tuned for sporty driving, the 2021 Lexus RC F adds a wallop to the brand’s luxury coupe lineup. With 472-hp, the RC F is quick and sounds delightful, but it fails to deliver the sharp handling of rivals such as the Audi RS5 or the Mercedes-AMG C63 coupe. The interior is roomy for two but the rear seat is tight for adults. Luckily for those seated up front, Lexus provides comfortable bucket seats and plenty of luxury features. A full set of driver-assistance systems come standard as well, and the RC F is fully equipped with a well-connected infotainment system.
