Lexus RC
The RC 300 and RC 350 versions are still available for 2018, but only with all-wheel drive and a 3.5L V6 under the hood. At the other end of the spectrum, the LFA-inspired RC F features a 5.0L V8, an eight-speed automatic gearbox and a retractable rear spoiler. The RC F’s engine alternates between Atkinson and Otto cycles to optimize fuel economy and maximize performance.
