Did a Google search and it looks like there are a total of 68 remaining 2023 Lexus RC's available for sale across the US. 27 RC300's and 41 RC350's. When added to the 978 sold through 7/31 that equals a total for 2023 of 1,046. Lexus sold 2,648RC in 2022.In 2021, Lexus sold 2,987RC.They sold 339more units in year 2021 compared to 2022 with a percent loss of11.35%. Doesn't look good for a further continuation of this model.

I think I got one of the last RC350 F Sport's. I love the car so I'm good!

I played hell trying to find my RC. My local dealer that we have bought 3 cars over the years is a fairly large multi location company. They were months out on allocations. Sales rep did say that Lexus is going to consolidate production, making less models, and focusing on the more popular (profitable) cars. Found one in another city. If the RC stays, I believe government regulation will force more smaller turbo charged engines. RC F may go to a turbocharged V6, my guess. The IMSA GTD Pro thumps with its V8.

That is why RC is still alive due to homologation requirements of IMSA for the platform to sold as a street car for RCF GT3 to qualify.

Having said that, RCF GT3 is being retired after the 2024 season so I am expecting GR GT3 to take its place in the 2025 season, but it will be sold at a much more expensive price point as a supercar rather than a sports car/coupe like the RCF.
