Lexus RC 350 F Sport - Track Test and Review

We put the RC 350 F Sport through its paces at Monticello Raceway in New York. 306 hp is delivered brought to the rear wheels with an 8 speed automatic transmission. The transmission locks the torque converter in gears 2 through 8 in Sport + mode making it feel like a manual without all the first gear drawbacks. The RC 350 is also available in AWD with a 6 speed transmission for those wanting something sporty in less than ideal weather conditions.

The brakes are amazing until you thrash on them all day. This was the third day of abuse and about 2 hours into a track day. I didn't mention this in the video but it deserves to be said. This is a street car with street brake pads. If you're doing a track day like this I highly suggest high temperature pads from Hawk, EBC, Axxis, etc.
