Lexus Says Goodbye to the RC With A Final Edition Model for 2025

Lexus and Toyota have a tendency to hang onto vehicles for much longer than other automakers. The Lexus RC is certainly one of them, still trudging along after having been on sale mostly unchanged for almost ten years. Its longevity is coming to an end, however, as Lexus recently introduced Final Edition variants of the car, making the end of the line for the brand’s long-running sport coupe.

The standard RC enters 2025 with few changes, but the range-topping RC F will only be available in the Final Edition trim. The RC300 gets a turbocharged four-cylinder with 241 or 260 horsepower, depending on the drive configuration. Lexus gives the RC 350 a 3.5-liter V6 with 311 horsepower.

The RC F final Edition builds on the Carbon Package from the 2024 model, with four exclusive exterior color choices and a black and red leather/Ultrasuede interior with a Mark Levinson stereo and Final Edition Badges. Its 5.0-liter V8 makes 472 horsepower and enables a 4.2-second 0-60 mph time.

While the RC F’s acceleration numbers are impressive, it has never been as aggressive or agile as its German rivals. The tried-and-true V8 engine is a real charmer, though, making the car a compelling grand tourer.

Pricing for the line starts at $46,445 for the base RC 300, which includes a $1,175 destination fee. The RC 350 starts at $49,375, and the RC F Final Edition costs $94,000 to start.
