- We had a chance to briefly test drive 2019 Lexus RC-F. According to Lexus, RC stands for Radical Coupe, and F stands for high performance. So, this RC F has 5.0L N/A V8 making 479hp and 394lb.ft of torque, engine is mated to 8 speed automatic and it is rear wheel driven. Now, let’s meet the Lexus RCF.

I’m watching from Japan.
Your review is way better than any of Japanese Lexus reviews. Thank you😄

The germans might be faster but the rcf looks sexiest imo
Yes, agree. This Lexus RC-F has it's own merits. Thanks GhostPrime21. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
Driver mod I beat m4
But way way way more reliable than the german car makers
But the German cars feel sexier when u drive them.. but I agree with u on the Lexus design.
and WAYYYYYY more reliable
"THE GLOVE BOX OPENED, WE WERE GOING TOO FAST" lololololol
That's what really happended. LOL. Thanks Greg for watching our Lexus RC-F Review.
One of the best reviews on this car I've seen in years. Great job
I have often talked about how much I love the G70, but the other car I dream about owning is the RC F.
I would absolutely use it as a Grand Tourer, and it would have me smiling every time I drove it.
it does have engine sound piped in and amplified through the sound system though.
Yes, this RC-F would be very nice GT car. Thanks J S.
U r spot on I bought one in December and it literally gives me chills of excitement every day just looking at it let alone driving my fav car I adore the rc f it’s magical
That color is so perfect 😍 and that V8 sounds absolutely amazing
Yes, love Lexus RC-F with V8. Thanks.
I own one of these. The interior looks aged, but when I bought mine, the interior wasnt an issue. Its still very nice inside. Good review!
Yes, Bryan. Times flying. Thank you for watching our Lexus RC-F review. Thanks Bryan.
I have the same color, etc. LOVE it. Who really cares about the aged interior. The design is solid and beautiful
Charlie another great review love the V8 sound👍👍
Yes, Mike. This Lexus RC-F with V8 really knows how to sing! Thanks Mike.
Sexy car ! and the exhaust sound is music to my ears! Then again, most V8s sound great. Nice to see you cover other stuff than the usual Kia/Hyundai
Yes, the V8 from this Lexus RC-F knows how to sing. Thanks Greg. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
ANOTHER FUN REVIEW , i like this type as much as the others. have a great rest of the day
Thank you unjaded for watching our POV style review on this Lexus RC-F. V8 sounds so good. Thanks and you have a great day, too.
I got to drive the RCF one time on track. I love the look, the power, and the sound. But the handling is not very good because it is too heavy. People say it's a bad sports car, but it's not a sports car. It is a sporty GT car and it's great for that.
Yes, that's i felt, too about the Lexus RC-F. I wish they tuned it a bit more sporty. Thanks J.
@@AsianPetrolhead Hope you get to review the LC 500 too! And I enjoy this type of quick review, but 30 mins long is not "quick" haha. I think you can shorten the time a little.
Nice to still see a co. that's not scared to install a CD player in their cars.
Yes, that is true, CDs are going away. Thank you for watching our Lexus RC-F review. Thanks Cindy.
Cindy Sue It has a CD player because interior is from many years ago. Lexus just never bothered to update it.
Great Review Guy, Keep it up.
RCF was designed to do everything well. Not a dedicated track car, but it was recorded to pull 0.98g on the skidpad and Lexus spent a lot of time developing RCF on the race track (Nurburgring and Fuji). It has all of the numbers to back it up. I take mine to the track and around the track it has done 1.41g instantaneous. Though, I realize at end, you could see a glimpse of its cornering capabilities. Being a jekyll/hyde persionality car, it has two personalities where it is relaxed and comfortable, but in sports+/manual mode at high rpms, everything stiffens and sharpens up for the race track.
Yes, i agree. This Lexus RC-F feels very comfortable like GT car, but when you put it in Sport +, it just wakes a beast inside. Thank you for watching our Lexus RC-F review. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
@@AsianPetrolhead Subscribed! Exactly. Lexus has made two very different personalities in the same car. Sports+, manual mode and high revs completely wakes up the car. If the RCF is equipped with TVD, slalom mode makes it more sharper. Cheers!
BTW, I have the fixed suspension 2016 Carbon fiber/TVD package RCF (Orange). The suspension is stiff all the time in all modes, but I keep it in sport+ all time.
Great review.

Amazing color, sounds incredible
Yah, this Lexus RC-F with 5.0L V8 sounds awesome. Thanks Ace.
I know I'm 2 years too late but, I Love my USB RCF. Luxury Import. The sound of the engine when I press a little hard on the gas just to hear the V8 is music to my ears. Great review on the F. Thanks!
Excellent review!
thanks for this top Review Charlie.
Thank you Hai for watching our Lexus RC-F Review.
I've already driven that in orange color (pre-facelift model) fun to drive, nice v8 sound

Nice review Charlie! This car is beautiful and the engine is crazy good! But the price and the interior are deal breakers. But it certainly has its' charms!
Yes, John. 5.0L V8 from Lexus RC-F really knows how to sing.

Nice one thanks Charlie!
Thank you John. Yes, this Lexus RC-F was very fun to drive around town. Thanks.
I own a 2002 Lexus ES300 with 168k miles. Amazing build quality and fit and finish is unparalleled. 02-06 ES has the highest quality of all the ES gen’s
I love the RC F and It could be my Retirement gift in 2026 when I retire. It started with Corvette C5 and C6, then mustang GT 5.0, then Toyota supra 3.0 premium now the RC F
An excellently maintained 2015-2017 with low mileage hopefully one owner will be my choice.
I think your video really solidified my choice over the Toyota 3.0 premium. That’s more of a track ready car and honestly I just need a GT cruiser not tracking it.
New subscriber here from NY.
Nice to hear that you are having great time with your Lexus. Thank you.
@@AsianPetrolhead thanks. It appears the Supra 3.0 premium is more of a sports car and the RC F is a GT. Would you agree ? I will test drive both, I still have plenty of time. Retirement is the end of December 2026
A Track-capable GT car. Other GT cars will overheat and brake fade after a few laps at full pace, but this one won't. Perfect dual duty car.
Yes, this Lexus RC-F felt very capable.
I believe you are going to be famous CZcamsr in car industry..Go ahead.
Thank you Mohammed! We will keep it coming!
I am buying an RCF Fuji Speedway 2022 here in Canada. Trading in my RC 350 AWD. Love your detailed honest review! Can someone tell me HOW MANY 2022 Fuji Speedway were imported to Canada!?
Such a dope car!
Yes, this Lexus RC-F has it's own merits. Thanks snail. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
Nice!
I almost bought one but decided LC 500 instead . I wanted rear steer, dampener and carbon bits but still a beautiful car .
I believe the RCF is too heavy to compete with other Sport cars in term of speed. However; it is undeniable a gorgeous car.
Yes, this Lexus RC-F seemed like a luxurious, but! powerful GT car. Thanks s
You buy a Lexus because you want a Lexus. It's a cruiser.
The C63 is also a heavy pig but nobody bats an eye and to be honest the M4 and the Giulia aren't light weights per se
Oh, don’t get me wrong. I would pick the RCF out of the 3 (C63 and M4). I prefer the exterior styling of the RCF more.
@@b3r15ky the Lexus make sense when it's 5 years old. Buyers won't have to worry about reliability and maintenance costs for buying a used one.
that engine makes a nice soundtrack
Yes, this Lexus RC-F sounds so good!
Beautiful car and color
Yes, the Lexus RC-F looked great in blue. Thanks Just Life!
If I was going to get a Lexus, that would be the car to get.
Yes, Quang. This Lexus RC-F is fun and joyful to your ears. Thanks.
Fantastic review, looks like you enjoyed it a lot. Many trash the car saying about the weight and the lack of BMW M3/4 like performance but they don't care or mention about ride and reliability factor. 2UR-GSE is a fantastic V8 engine, my IS 500 in Sport S+ always puts smile, however my gripe with IS is lack of chassis rigidity, the shakes can be felt as if entire front end is getting shocked from the weight and force of the engine going over bumps at high speeds even though they used GS F front end suspension. Lexus also hamfisted bumper by clips which causes sagging, unlike the RC F here which has bolted on bumper design. RC F is sadly downgraded a lot in 2023+, they stopped offering Torque Vectoring Diff which allows more like GSF experience in handling rather than understeer on track, no memory seats, no strut bracing too. But gave it touch screen. This car will hold value in the coming years.
Loved It!

Alright, LC 500 next please haha!
Yes, next time we will try to show you Lexus LC 500. Thank you for watching our Lexus RC-F review. Thanks
So close to being an amazing car to me. But, the main dash and that two tier screen/controls bothers me. Great review!

Out of this world🚀 🌎 review... All we need now is a naturally aspirated v8 🔥 for The "NEW" 😍 Genesis coupe!! That will be a real Bad Boy!!
YEs, Chris. Genesis Should bring the coupe back with V8. Thanks for watching our Lexus RC-F review.
my friend has a cheap Seat Leon Cupra ST ( 1550 KG weight ) with only 300 PS the make 0 - 60 in 4.8 Sec. and go easy to the Limiter from 272 Kmh, the Lexus RCF is very Expensive and to Slow for over 470 HP.

The track pad and infotainment are crap. I hate it!
I have GS 350 and it's a pain in the butt.
It would be great, if it's a native Android like Audi!

Yes, new update on the interior would be nice. thanks for watching our Lexus RC-F review.

I heard Koreans are trying not to buy Japanese cars. But the RCF is too sexy.
Well, sometimes when we have diplomatic disputes, yeah there are boycott comes. But we all love cars equally. Thank you for watching our Lexus RC-F review.
@@AsianPetrolhead This is unrelated but didn't Nissan withdrew from Korea last week? So sad it will be harder to get a GT-R R35 in there.
Works fast in my option
Is it shifting sluggish?
Well, yes, i think it would nice if shifted just a bit faster. Thank you for watching our Lexus RC-F review. Thanks N_008. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
@@AsianPetrolhead yeah, the first time I watched the your video review with the veloster N it was an auto sub for me. Keep safe.
It's Faster Than a Kia Stinger GT Right Charlie
Asian patrol head? Why no more Japanese car reviews?
How many did Lexus sell?
Well, i have heard the sales numbers for this Lexus RC-F wasn't so successful.
@@AsianPetrolhead The car is too heavy! My friend got one used and got a great deal.
GT, methinks!
Front is symmetrical
It's a GT car.
Yes, this Lexus RC-F is a GT car. Thanks.
Yess early today
Yes, just wanted to give you premiere of this Lexus RC-F before going to out to film the Hyundai Palisade review. Thanks Muhammad.

It’s definitely a GT car, it’s too heavy to be a sports car. RC-F is undeniably one of the most reliable well performing GT’s you can buy.

Thanks for enjoying the Lexus RC-F review
a half Price Kia Stinger with 365 HP and +100 KG more weight makes the same Performance and you have more Space inside ? and the Stinger looks great.
Lexus looks better and expensive plus quality interior, uniqueness and reliability+v8 baby
Yes, but Hai, this is Lexus. You know. Should be compared to Genesis. Thanks for watching Lexus RC-F review.
Don't be ignorant. KIA is great value for the money, but the RCF runs circles around the KIA Stinger around the race track and also in a straight line at higher speeds. All while being much more luxurious, higher quality, better resale and also the engine sound is incomparable. I have never seen a stock Stinger do 1/4 mile in 12.5 seconds at 114 mph while the RCF does it. The hp/weight ratio gives it much faster high speed acceleration. Some tracks have RCF lapping it faster than 6 - 7 seconds than a KIA Stinger. That is a huge difference. Stinger is a great value for the money, and should not be compared to the RCF.
@@AsianPetrolhead Pro racing car driver for Motor Trend Randy Pobst did Streets of willow lap in the RCF at 1:24 and the KIA Stinger at 1:28.9 and the BMW M4 at 1:23.7. It is in the hands of the same pro race car driver. RCF and KIA Stinger have no comparisons whatsoever.
The infotainment system in Lexus and Acura's are terrible. They need to listen to customers, and switch to touch screens.
Yes, but this Lexus RC-F really knows how to sing with that V8.
Japanese first 😎then
Korean 😊
Last one Chinese 😑
Sorry China 😐
Thank you Abdo for watching our Lexus RC-F review. Just like to also test drive Chinese cars. Thanks Abdo.
They also sell Infiniti/Nissan in S.Korea. I guess he forgot that smh
Nissan and Infinity is no longer selling here in Korea. Thank you Perry for enjoying the Lexus RC-F review.
Lexus ? great Premium Cars with a Top quality and a wonderfull old School NA V8 Engine but the Cars are to heavy and not have enough Power or Powerfull Turbo Engines, OK the LS has a 3.5 V6 Turbo with 420 HP but the Car has a weight from 2200 KG.
The German, English, Italian or American Premium Cars has more Powerfull Turbo Engines.
Yes, i think this Lexus RC-F is more like a GT car than a sports car. Wish they made it more sporty.
@@AsianPetrolhead yes that`s right Charlie but here in Germany we have a RCF Track Edition ( 96000 Euro ) and a Carbon Edition ( 108000 Euro ).
This car either needs to be lighter, have more power, or cost less to e competitive with the competition for the same price. As is, it's a GT car especially with that lazy transmission. The exterior color is simply gorgeous along with the best sounding engine. So conflicted with this car. World's worst user interface. Genesis needs to make there too of the line vehicles sound this good 👍
I think it has good power. But yes faster transmission and also stiffer suspension would make this Lexus RC-F even better sports car. Thanks Blake Swan.
All good but license plate ruins it although the plate is thin and wider than the U.S. Rear designed looks much better than the front. 0-60 5.1second is an embarrassment. I guess it's just a luxury sports car not for the track but designed for women age between 30~60. Men will not buy this car.
Well, i think i could get it to go faster, but remember, this was just doing it on regular road. So, i am sure it could go faster. Thanks for watching our Lexus RC-F review. And if you love cars and car reviews, please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
