2015 Model Redesign Year

The RC is a coupe version of the IS sedan. It uses a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder or a 3.5-liter V6 engine coupled to an eight-speed automatic. Ordinarily, it's a rear-drive car, but an all-wheel-drive version is available with a six-speed automatic. High-performance RC F versions come with a 472-hp, 5.0-liter V8. That prodigious output is routed to the rear wheels, and it makes the RC F super-quick, with a loud exhaust bark. The various driving modes sharpen throttle and steering response, but the car's weight ultimately compromises its agility.

There is a tiny rear seat that can accommodate two small passengers. All models now come standard with an updated infotainment system. 2025 is the final year for the RC.

2015-2025

2015 Model Redesign Year

The new RC is an aggressively styled sports coupe with seating for four. Essentially a coupe version of the IS sedan, it uses a standard 3.5-liter V6 engine hooked up to an eight-speed automatic. An all-wheel-drive version is available with a six-speed automatic. Top-trim RC F versions, fitted with a 467-hp, 5.0-liter V8, target the BMW M4. That prodigious output is routed to the rear wheels with a torque-vectoring differential, which sends power to the wheel that has the most grip. The RC F is super-quick, with a loud exhaust bark.

The various driving modes sharpen throttle and steering response, but the car's weight ultimately compromises agility. The 2018 model brought lots of standard safety equipment. 2025 is the final year for the RC.
