Although the folks at Lexus don’t like to admit it, the Lexus RC is basically a coupe version of the IS sedan. However, with its 306-hp V6 engine, eight-speed automatic transmission, rear-wheel drive and attractive style, it’s much sportier. An F version is also offered. It sees itself as a rival of the BMW M4, and relies on a 5.0L 460-hp V8 to guarantee thrilling performances. Its look is much more intimidating.
