[13] In Japan, ownership of the version with the 5.0 litre engine is expensive due to the annual Japanese road tax obligation.

Lexus RC AWD versions use a full-time all-wheel drive system that utilizes a planetary gearset center differential coupled with a multi-disc clutch to act as the slip limiting device.

Variants of the RC series have all-wheel steering, 2 piece brake rotors, variable suspension dampers, and a Torsen limited slip differential.

[15] TRD produces a bodykit, several aerodynamic and performance parts for the RC 350, these include an exhaust system, a rear diffuser, lightweight forged aluminium wheels with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, etc.

[16] The RC received its first facelift in August 2018, with official images revealed ahead of its 2018 Paris Motor Show debut, which took place a few weeks after.

The corporate L-shaped DRLs and the triple eye LED's are merged, making their placements look highly reminiscent of its bigger LC coupe along with a reworked cabin and rear tail lamp design.

[18][19] Following the introduction of stricter crash safety regulations, the RC, along with the IS sedan and the CT hatchback, were pulled out from the Australian market in November 2021.

The RC F Final Edition comes with features such as automatic folding mirrors, rocker panels, carbon fiber roof, triple-beam LED headlights, active rear wing, red brake calipers, 19-inch BBS alloy wheels, front spoiler, and rear diffuser as standard on the exterior, while the interior receives a 10.3-inch touchscreen, Mark Levinson premium audio system, bespoke black and red leather/Ultrasuede upholstery, and a carbon fiber Final Edition emblem featuring the limited production number fitted to the console.

The RC F Final Edition comes in four colors: Radiant Red, Ultra White, Incognito, and Sonic Iridium.

The RC F is equipped with vertical G-sensor for VDIM, rear Torsen or Torque Vectoring Differential (TVD) with three operating modes (Standard, Slalom, or Track), monotube gas-filled shock absorbers and ball-jointed stabilizer bars, new 19-inch BBS forged aluminum wheels, spindle grille with F-mesh pattern on the lower half, unique front hood which raises the peak of the vehicle, hood air vent from the LFA, front cooling ducts, front fender ducts in the L shape, exclusive combination meters from LFA (a large centrally mounted tachometer that alters according to drive mode, digital and analog speedometer, differential torque vectoring monitor, G-force meter, oil and water temperature gauges, mileage information and a stopwatch), and an elliptical cross-section thick grip steering wheel.

The aerodynamic package includes an active rear spoiler, tuning of the underbody, the intakes in the grille and the front fender vents and aero stabilizing fins.

All of the limited edition RC F come in matte-finished Nebula Gray paint with gloss black wheels and bright blue brake calipers.

The car features performance upgrades and weighs 80 kg (180 lb) less than the standard RC F. Weight-saving measures include lighter 19-inch wheels, carbon-ceramic brake rotors, a titanium muffler and exhaust pipes and extensive usage of carbon fiber.

[29] Being fielded by SARD Racing[30] in 2015 and then by several private teams such as Tracy Sports, the RC 350 has won several championships in Japan's Super Taikyu Endurance series under the ST-3 class.
