$94k for the Final Edition RC F. They are not trying to sell many. It's there if you really want it.

 

wonder what it will come with because thats cheaper than the track editions right now

Basically, looks like the same equipment as the Carbon Package but reportedly had some small refinements to the diff and engine. The diff was specifically described as having fine-tuned backlash for better response on both accel and braking, but nothing specific was named for the engine.

 

After a year and a half with the IS 500, there's part of me that could be interested in an RC F as something a little more hardcore, but my biggest problem is that the car hasn't changed much in ten years and the price has increased ~$30k in that time. An IS 500 is $67k... a similarly equipped RC F is over $80k... and they have the same engine, same transmission, and a lot of shared parts. I'm not saying the RC F's addition of bigger brakes, oil cooler, transmission cooler, etc. aren't worth it... but are they worth $14k more? Not to me.

I think the Final Edition is really well done, but needless to say, a price of $95k is pretty rich for what is 98% the same car that debuted in 2014. There are a lot of other options for that much money that are objectively better cars. The other thing I think about is that my dream spec LC 500 is around $110k and LC feels like a worthy $15k upgrade over an RC F, IMO.

So all of that to say, when you have the IS 500 sub-$70k and the LC 500 starts around $100k... Lexus has kind of priced the RC F into no man's land based on age, power, tech, and features. It's a hard proposition to justify.

Oh yeah, and 2025 is the last year for the IS 500 as well.

 

If I were to buy a limited-edition V-8 Lexus this year, the Flare Yellow would be a lot more appealing at its price.

 

Probably means the LF-R we’ve spy shotted the last two years will make its debut very soon!

 

Flare Yellow would be my least favorite of the "special" colors / editions. I'd go Vector Blue or Molten Pearl before Flare Yellow but I already have my special color as do you! I'd settle for Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0 if I had to.

Will there be a 2026 MY IS 500? I'm leaning no.

 

I definitely do

 

I mean, I think the yellow stitching on the inside is pretty nice and more unique in the segment than what most other brands are doing. Plus, I have to say, I do like the BBS wheels for 2025. I know the gloss black looks odd in photos sometimes, but I think it'll be better in person - plus, the wheel design itself is spot-on. Looks aggressive but not racy.

And Flare Yellow is actually great if you ask me, but I know it's not everybody's first choice.
