Lexus RC 300, RC 350, RC F & More

The RC 350 is the stronger one. In newer lineups it uses a 311-horsepower 3.5-liter V6, while the RC 300 uses lower-output engines. Both keep the same basic luxury-coupe focus, so the main step up is easier, stronger acceleration.

In recent years, F SPORT adds a more aggressive exterior and an adaptive suspension that adjusts firmness, along with extra sport driving modes. It sharpens the RC’s look and responses without turning it into the V8-powered RC F.

The engine is the main difference in newer lineups. Both have F SPORT styling, adaptive suspension, sport seats, and the performance-style gauge display, but the RC 350 F SPORT adds the 311-horsepower V6 for stronger acceleration.

No. F SPORT versions are RC 300 or RC 350 models with sportier styling, seats, and suspension tuning. The RC F is a separate high-performance model with a V8, larger performance brakes, and more serious driving hardware.

The regular RC 300 is the comfort-first pick. It has the gentlest personality and keeps the RC’s upscale cabin without the more aggressive F SPORT treatment. The regular RC 350 follows the same formula but adds stronger V6 power.

In newer lineups, the RC 350 F SPORT is the middle ground. It combines a 311-horsepower V6 with adaptive suspension, sport seats, and bolder styling, but stops short of the RC F’s V8 and track-focused hardware.

The RC 200t was the early turbocharged entry model, sold for 2016 and 2017. It paired a 241-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder with rear-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic. That rear-drive turbo version became the RC 300 for 2018.

The RC F makes a major mechanical jump. Later cars have a 472-horsepower V8, larger Brembo brakes, a rear differential that improves traction, Launch Control, and an active rear wing. The RC 350 F SPORT remains the milder V6 alternative.

The Track Edition is the lighter, more circuit-focused RC F. It adds extensive carbon-fiber bodywork, a fixed rear wing, carbon-ceramic brakes, track-tuned shocks, and titanium mufflers while retaining the later RC F’s 472-horsepower V8.

The Fuji Speedway Edition is a 50-car U.S. special edition with a similar track-minded recipe: a 472-horsepower V8, carbon-fiber body pieces, carbon-ceramic brakes, titanium exhaust parts, and an Alcantara-trimmed cabin. The Track Edition appeared across more model years.

The Final Edition is the V8 coupe’s farewell model. It adds a specially assembled engine, hand-finished rear differential tuning, carbon-fiber exterior pieces, a numbered plaque, black-and-red cabin trim, a 10.3-inch touchscreen, and Mark Levinson audio.

Among later specialty models, the RC F Track Edition, Fuji Speedway Edition, and Final Edition use extensive carbon-fiber exterior pieces. The exact mix varies, but it includes items such as the roof, hood, spoilers, side splitters, and rear diffuser.

No. The RC 300 name marks its place in the lineup, not one fixed engine size. Depending on era and drivetrain, an RC 300 may use a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder or a lower-output V6.

On newer RC models, F SPORT brings heated and ventilated front seats with stronger side support, a performance-style gauge display with a sliding ring, aluminum pedals, a black headliner, and trim-specific interior details.
