After a decade of production, the Lexus RC coupe is being retired.

The Lexus RC coupe made its debut in the fall of 2014, marking a new segment for the Japanese brand. The vehicle was built on the platform of the IS sedan, incorporating elements from the higher-end GS model. In 2018, the coupe underwent a significant modernization, followed by several minor updates, yet it still struggled to achieve success in the market.

The Lexus RC coupe made its debut in the fall of 2014, marking the entry of the Japanese brand into a new segment. The vehicle is built on the platform of the IS sedan, incorporating elements from the higher GS model. The coupe underwent a significant modernization in 2018, along with a series of minor updates, but it has not achieved market success.

This information comes from RBK-Ukraine, citing the press service of the company.

In the past decade, only 91,000 units have been sold worldwide, including 12,000 high-performance RC F versions. Lexus has decided to honor the RC with a special Final Edition variant, which debuted in Japan.

The farewell coupe features distinctive black side mirror housings, red brake components with the brand's logo, and unique 19-inch wheels from Enkei. The interior of the Final Edition comes with a black and red theme, utilizing suede and microfiber.

In Japan, the Lexus RC is offered exclusively with rear-wheel drive and includes four versions: RC 300 (2.0 L, 245 hp), RC 300h (hybrid, 223 hp), RC 350 (3.5 L, 318 hp), and RC F (5.0 L, 481 hp). The Final Edition is available for all four variants, but only the powerful V8 engine receives a commemorative plaque.

The farewell coupe can already be ordered in Japan, with prices starting at $43,000 for the RC 300 Final Edition. The top-of-the-line eight-cylinder RC F Final Edition is priced at $87,000, and its production is limited to just 200 units. Production of the less powerful variants is only time-restricted, with the end of manufacturing scheduled for November.
