Beast Mode Activated: Why the 2025 RC F Final Edition Delivers 472 hp of Pure Thrill
June 30 2025,
Raw power meets precision engineering in the 2025 Lexus RC F Final Edition. This limited-production coupe delivers 472 horsepower from its naturally aspirated 5.0-litre V8 engine, creating an driving experience that stands apart from turbocharged competitors.
The RC F Final Edition marks the end of an era for this high-performance coupe. Lexus engineers refined every aspect of the powertrain and handling dynamics to create the most capable RC F ever produced. Each vehicle carries a production number badge, signifying its place in this exclusive final run.
Naturally Aspirated V8 Power
The heart of the RC F Final Edition beats with a 5.0-litre V8 engine that produces 472 horsepower. This naturally aspirated powerplant delivers immediate throttle response without turbo lag. Peak power arrives across a wide rev range, making acceleration feel linear and predictable.
The engine management system includes Launch Control for optimal acceleration from standstill. The RC F Final Edition accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in an estimated 4.5 seconds. Top track speed reaches 270 km/h, controlled by the vehicle's advanced electronic systems.
Eight-speed Sport Direct-Shift transmission with downshift rev-matching ensures smooth power delivery. Paddle shifters allow manual control when you want to select gears yourself. The transmission adapts to driving style, learning your preferences over time.
Performance Hardware That Delivers
Beyond raw horsepower, the RC F Final Edition includes performance components designed for track capability. Brembo brakes with six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers provide stopping power that matches the engine's output. Red brake calipers add visual distinction while delivering functional performance.
The suspension system uses F-tuned Adaptive Variable Suspension technology. This setup adjusts damping rates based on driving conditions and selected drive mode. Whether cruising on highways or attacking corners on a track, the suspension maintains control and comfort.
Track-Ready Components:
- 19-inch ultra-lightweight forged BBS wheels
- Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tires (255/35ZR19 front, 275/35ZR19 rear)
- Torsen limited slip differential
- Carbon fibre roof, front splitter, rear diffuser, and side skirts
- Active rear wing for aerodynamic efficiency
Exclusive Final Edition Features
The 2025 RC F Final Edition comes only in Incognito exterior colour, creating instant recognition. Carbon fibre components reduce weight while adding visual drama. The roof, exterior trim pieces, and aerodynamic elements use genuine carbon fibre construction.
Inside, the cabin features exclusive Circuit Red and Black Ultrasuede upholstery. Red seatbelts, carbon fibre interior trim, and Final Edition badging distinguish this model from standard RC variants. The steering wheel uses Ultrasuede material for improved grip during spirited driving.
A Mark Levinson 17-speaker audio system provides premium sound quality when you're not focused on the V8's exhaust note. The 10.3-inch touchscreen includes Intuitive Parking Assist for easier maneuvering in tight spaces.
Limited Production Value
As the final RC F variant, this edition carries special significance for performance car collectors. Each vehicle includes console serial badging showing its production number. The Final Edition MID start-up animation reminds you of this model's exclusive status every time you start the engine.
Lexus builds this edition with hand-crafted attention to detail. Skilled technicians adjust the rear differential backlash to improve acceleration and deceleration responses. This level of individual attention elevates the driving feel beyond mass-production standards.
The 2025 RC F Final Edition starts at $112,060 MSRP. This pricing reflects the extensive performance modifications, exclusive materials, and limited production status.
Track-Capable Road Car
Unlike many high-performance vehicles that prioritize straight-line speed, the RC F Final Edition balances power with handling precision. The chassis maintains composure during aggressive cornering while delivering comfort during daily driving.
Heat management systems keep the engine and brakes operating effectively during extended track sessions. Oil coolers, brake cooling ducts, and radiator capacity ensure consistent performance when you push the limits.
The electronic stability management systems work seamlessly in the background. These systems allow skilled drivers to explore the vehicle's capabilities while providing safety margins for less experienced users.
