The performance is similar to German rivals but it understeers a lot on corners. Cadillac also returns similar numbers and you can race with any car on track.
Lexus RCF shoots from 0 to 60 in 4.4 seconds and surges to the quarter-mile mark in 12.8 seconds with its massive 5.0 liter V8 engine .It keeps the environment safe and the emissions levels are acceptable.
Lexus misses out on launch control which other rivals have and feels disappointing for such an expensive car. It has the biggest engine among all but still slowest then the others.

It is heaviest among rivals which is evident in its handling. It will be difficult for you to come out of a corner because it slides a lot. A lot means "A LOT". The German horses give better stopping power and driving dynamics. Cadillac has the smallest braking distance which is impressive.
Lexus RCF manages to return 19 MPG combined which is very optimistic for a car of this size . It returns 16 MPG in the cities and 25 MPG on the highways. EPA ratings are good for this car and it will be lighter on your pocket as a daily driver.

Others in the competition manage to deliver similar fuel economy as the latter. BMW gives one MPG more combined than others in the rivalry.
The snug cockpit swaddles the driver with data and controls in what seems like the ideal techno-cutting-edge, Tokyo-through-night time design scheme. A high middle console features a non-compulsory touchpad that is part of the $2840 navigation and an upgraded stereo package deal, and the units showcase a morphing LCD middle tachometer, similar to the LFA's.
Nearly the entirety within the car can be adjusted with the haptic infotainment manipulate pad, but there are also redundant buttons with knobs for extent and tuning, simply as within the modern-day IS. Like those competitors, the RC F lavishes it's to be had space on the front passengers. The seats themselves are stitched to remind us of human muscle tissues, and they're formed and sized to carry large adults. Their supple, huge cushions can aid huge bodies and small ones, too, and the adjustable guidance makes certain all will find a true using position.

BMW and Mercedes Benz offer a little bit of more space than Lexus while Cadillac have similar Dimensions.
The Lexus amazing to drive but the infotainment system is cluttered with following creature comforts:
The Cargo space is limited and if you plan to go on a long trip then pack lightly. Storage for small items and cup holders are more than enough. It can carry four carry-on luggage. With 10 cubic feet capacity.

Lexus rivals don't offer much in either and the capacity is similar.
Lexus improves the RC coupe's look with slits, vents, and mesh grille. The final product is an interesting design that may be difficult to understand for some people.
Lexus mixed the front clip of the GS sedan, the middle phase of the antique IS C convertible, and the rear stop of the IS sedan, the usage of adhesives and welding and a method known as laser screw welding, which permits for better design .

Designers created the IS rear enough to maintain the car's dimensions small, and the IS C center segment necessary for its inherent stiffness and shorter wheelbase. The RC F can be thought of as a hot-rod model of the RC.
It stretches 185 inches in length and 72 inches in width. All the other dimensions are similar to the rivals and Lexus has got the highest ground clearance. The wheelbase is 107 inches shorter than the competitors. Rivals have similar dimensions in length and breadth while Mercedes is the heaviest among all.
Exterior Features
A refreshingly new design language is evident with the RCF, It has got some quirks which differentiates it from the common.
In these times, safety has become one of the most important avenues of any car manufacturing process. Luxus understands this well, so, the RC F comes equipped with a host of standard safety features.
Get inside of the mighty M4 and set together for explosive acceleration and razor-sharp handling. It oversteers on corners and always longing for a wheel spin.
It is a legendary car with 425 hp twin turbo inline six with comes mated to with six speed manual or seven speed dual clutch automatic. Its rear wheel drive burn up the rubber fast and smokes instantly.
BMW offers better performance than the Lexus but feels synthetic with too much driving aids. BMW is less dramatic than its previous generations. M4 have a high annual service maintenance cost than Lexus.
The 2019 Cadillac ATS-V coupe is powered with a 464 hp twin turbo 3.6-liter V6 which is rear wheel drive and comes in either 6 or 8 speed automatic transmission. Both acceleration and handling are good. The quality is magnificent and economic specification too.
The design of Cadillac appeals more than the RCF. Its alpha platform is more agile and stiff on corners as compared to RC F. Caddi comes with various transmissions while the former is available in automatic only.
AMG C63 is the compact V8 own family supercar for all purposes. Not just in power outputs, but a full four body styles. The AMG twins are the sharpest, strongest, most interesting engine in its class with an absurdly pleasant agile chassis, fun drive and now, it is tech laden even in the lowest trim.
AMG is an icon for performance and the chassis is much more agile than Lexus. Steering input is also commendable. It has more resale value than Lexus and offers a value for money package. Brash styling of RC F is less appealing.
The 2019 Lexus RC F draws drivers in with thundering V-8 power and grip, however the major rivals are a couple of hundred pounds heavier. Lexus are not really the brand you'd expect a BMW M4 match from. The Lexus RC F, with its spindle grille and polarizing car styling, is to some degree a peculiarity - straightforwardly focusing on the German rivals. In any case, in a time of turbocharged cutting back where the main rival with a V8 wears an AMG identification, the RC F's normally suctioned 5.0-liter V8 is a staunch assertion of defiance. How non-Lexus.
