The Lexus RC-F may be getting a bit old in the segment, but it is also the last one with a naturally aspirated V8! This is a quite rare and special Track Edition that does cost over $100k but comes with some very unique touches. Extensive carbon fiber (including a properly impressive rear wing), carbon ceramic brakes, weight savings measures and even blue carbon fiber trim inside! Compared to the latest generation BMW M3 and M4, the RC-F is not on the same level of pure power and performance, but after a week with this 2023 RC-F Track Edition, I grew to really like this luxury performance coupe! Enjoy this vlog and mini-review.

1st
An unbelievably special car. So overlooked because Ms and 911s exist
Well that's a waste of $100k!!! 😂 Put a supercharger on it & it MIGHT be able to keep up with a Stock 5.0 S550 😂
Beautiful Car, am I the only one who'd invest in this car because of the engine?
Those halogens rear turn signals bulbs are a dealbreaker for me
This will be interesting…interior is not impressive…my comment at start of the video.
2nd comment, looks like a Honda owned by someone with crazy money to blow. There is a point where tacky takes over…
Wow that tranmission is awful
If you don't put it in manual mode the paddles shift like poo as you've seen. Not an accurate representation here. Nevertheless it's mostly show no go.
Honestly overall it is a great car, but the track edition is not the way I would go. You could get a brand new M4 fully loaded with CCB for the same price and the tech is beyond better in that, and are reliable. But I would get the non track edition over a new M, just for the motor.
I left a jr garage video for this
Such a great looking, sounding and driving car!
This car will be worth big money 20 years from now. GUARANTEED.
And as always. Appreciate your reviews and choice of each vehicle
The transmission response with the paddles was slow because the car was cold. You have to drive it for 10-15 minutes to get the most out of the transmission. I have an IS500 for reference – same transmission.
Also helps if you select manual mode instead of leaving it in drive.
The transmission is a little dopey sometimes but really comes to life in manual mode. It's definitely a perfectly imperfect transmission. I like how it gives a little kick on the upshift and has very aggressive engine braking on downshift.
At least it is 100% lexus 100% JDM
I don't understand why someone chose a BMW z4 thinking it's a JDM Car
I don't get it
Overpriced AF
What it’s like to own a trash overpriced Japanese car if I had that kind of money to spend on a car my money not bank’s money I would purchase a GT500 in a heartbeat.
At 8:30 that door sounded like a tin can 🤣
Love this car such a dope spec, FYI the Aisin has to get up to temp for you to get the 100ms shift speeds. If not it will bog its more V8 R8 S tronic reminding with the first 2 gears than ZF8. Also have to be in manual mode in Sports+ to get those shift speeds at temp etc. Fastest RCF around the track and a great baseline for track use. People who buy this car dont want to save money they want the best RCF made as a baseline to run either on the track or drive home. Great platform very underrated. Remember this car is lighter than the M4 now and weighs roughly as much as a M2. It's a rare car highest spec F car and for enthusiasts who have the money for this higher baseline. Great review! More Sports + Manual mode shifting 🙂
I owned a 2016 GSF. One of the best cars I ever owned. Truly a 4 door race car
Another great review! No matter how sporty, Lexus still wants its vehicles to retain some modicum of 'Lexus-ness'. So they will work very hard to straddle between performance and comfort. The RC F does not speak to me personally, (I'm a sedan guy.) but I think it's super-awesome. The transmission in the RC F is the same in my IS 500 and in order to maximize the fastest shifts (in Sport+ and Manual mode), the RPMs have to stay above 4K. The speed is there and is rewarding, but unlike the forced induction competitors, Lexus makes you work for it. (Which I find oddly satisfying!) 😀 Thanks for posting!
Look cool
Literally no one who owns a RCF track edition will ever track it. How dumb
I don’t know anyone that would go for the RC-F track edition over the LC500….this car is nice, but absolutely not worth the price.
LOL 100k for a glorified toyota LOL
I love everything about this car except that obnoxious wing and the lack of a dual clutch transmission bc a manual is not available
Eddie is super appropriate or a complete car guy. When that beautiful girl was in the shot walking behind the RC-F the camera (under my control) would have followed her as she walked by with complete silent appreciation in place.
