- The RC F has a few upgrades done by Lexus for 2020 to help bring more performance. Under the hood is a 5.0L naturally aspirated V8 that is now producing 472HP & mated to a 8-speed automatic transmission. The exterior has received a refresh front fascia, wheels and calipers. On the inside Lexus brings their "A" game when it comes to the interior materials and seating! Is the 2020 Lexus RC F the BETTER performance car than a BMW M4?

I am 2015 RC-F owner and the amazing engine sound makes me smiling every day ... 😀 ... Greetings from the Czech Republic! 🇨🇿
This Lexus is ridiculous beautiful. Love those racing seats. Love the grill, rims, brake calibers and it's a V8. I love it.
BMW to lease. 🙌
Lexus to own. 🙏
I like the way that you think.
SG Steady word!
Lexus? is that a toyota trying to look cool and luxurious?
@@ivangamer8022 It's a Toyota that won't break like it's German counter part.
@@kobedabest Why did toyota asked BMW to build their faster car, the supra if they are so good?? lol their cars are cheap shit for poor people
The spindle grille design never disappoint me. Every redesign are getting better and better. Great job Lexus.
The engine in this car is beautiful wow
I totally agree with you Antonio!
lexus 5.0L = 470hp
Aston Martin 6.0L = 1000hp
lmao at that undepowere piece of crap
Illyrian Gamer Aston martin the car that breaks down after 20k miles 😂
Not to mention the price difference lol
Illyrian Gamer ur an idiot they’re not even in the same class 😂😂
Love my RC F. Chose it over the M4, just because it makes more sense.
I can understand where you are coming from.
I m jealous
If you lease, honestly an M4, but if you are BUYING and in it for long term such as going 200k miles, RCF 100%
I know right! Some natural power other than turbo chargers and all that stuff.
I'd pick the m4 over the rc f
I have an RC 350 F Sport. It's not gonna win many races but it's comfy and sporty as heck. Great daily driver. Hopefully one day I'll get to drive an RCF or LC500 for them sweet V8s!
Thanks for sharing that great input from your ownership!
@@RaitisRides thanks for the great videos! Definitely put a smile on my face when I heard those exhaust notes.
I actually like the smoother look of the RC350 F-sport more. You have a really nice car.
Yeah, beamer owners be replacing the whole fricking engine by the time you have to get your first oil change. Toyotas just seem to last. Have a 2011(2010 purchased) camry and the only major maintenance is an alternator swap, everything else was wear and tear.
@@lochoangpham I dont get the difference between the 2 cars.
One of the nicest looking engines I've ever seen! Love the wheels and tires on this coupe as well!
I drove a 2016 RC F a couple years ago, and it handled amazingly well. The V8 is a nice addition as well.
OK I'll stop pretending - it's all about the V8! I agree with you on the seats, they are a nice balance of bolstering and comfort - very nice.
The way the exhaust tips overlap eachother is so amazing
I used to think Lexus was outdated and boring. Then, after seeing them at an auto show and driving them, they've become my favorite brand. People don't understand that Lexus make the best STREET cars. It's not all about the numbers and unusable track performance. The sensation and character of these cars is unbelievable.
Thanks for sharing that great input from your experience!
I been telling people Lexus may not be the fastest but it’s fast enough when I go to car meets I never seen a RCF never seen any one drive it im saving it to buy it
Here we go, another On Throttle action! Nice review Team Raiti's Rides!
It’s ashame that they discontinued ISF. One of my favorite car.🙈
I know right!
Me too! Four doors and all the performance?! Yes!!!
More that Lexus decided not to release a true F version of the current though dated IS. I really liked the first one, and it only got better over the years.
They should definitely bring ISF back for sure.
@@zpzp96 Actually, the rumors right now is that there might actually be a 2021 ISF. We'll see if it does happen.
You are fast becoming my favorite RUclipsr!!💪💪💪💪💪
Doug Demuro and thestraightpipes are better
Was waiting for An F review again!! You're the best
Joe Raiti, my favorite reviewer, Lexus RC F, my favorite car. This is gonna be one hell of a video.
P.s. congrats on your GT350R Heritage Edition Joe! Extremely heartwarming to see you get something you deserve and that was a dream car for you. Hope that car brings you back to times with your father in his 60's GT350!
one difference between tcf and m4 is. rcf can last 300k miles with normal maintance. m4 is good withing warranty than falls apart
After hearing the beautiful exhaust note on the LC 500, it makes the RCF exhaust note seems so tame!🤷♀️
Same engine. just different exhaust\
The LC 500 exhaust is tame itself lol. Well, compared to exotic cars.
@@Anthony-dk7de If you're going to compare it to exotics then you should bring in the LFA to be fair. We all know how great that sounds dont we? Lmao 😂 some people.
Kelechi Opara's Fitness Science Explained Around the same price range stupid.
Dude thanks for sharing god that V8 sound is incredible and insane!!
I love how he measures sizes by snickers and twinkies sizes and I love how ik exactly the space because of that description
I'd zonk the interior lol I like the red interior, pearl white exterior with the carbon fiber package and call it a day! ❤
Has more soul than most American cars these days.
Take a seat lol
ZL1 Camaro is cheaper, faster, and much more lively. RCF just has more luxury feel.
2020 GT 500 is same price and that car has more soul while still being comfortable.
RCF is a great Japanese muscle car which is rare from the average car. Competition is what kills the sales of these brand new. That’s why the value is dropping fast on them. Lexus will stop making this car soon. Not enough sales.
American cars, there all gone 🤭🤭🤭🤭
@@ryanb8736 lol k
@@malcolmn.5222 get out lol
Great informative video I like Raitis reliable information on Vehicles. The RC F is a terrific ride I see just a little above what I would pay for a vehicle but I plan on going Lexus. Thanks
Lovely ride. Excellent review 👍
The RCF looks great in pics/vids but awesome in person!
OMG LOVE IT JOE
I had a feeling you would! 😉👍🏻😂
I really like these. You don't see many of them out in the wild. Might consider picking one up when I'm finally finished w my '03 CL55 (only 29,200 miles) !!
Get it
Excellent review, Joe.
The design is elegant, sleek, sharpe, beautiful, sporty, timeless, and futuristic! Best coupe design up to date.

You kill me with your "Run DMC and Beatsie Boys" 😆 🤣 😂
Heck yeah Sonny!
Joe must be from the East Coast judging from his accent. Old school hip hop!
LOVE the Old School Hip Hop reference!!!!! You reference Run-DMC a lot!!!! 😂😂
Awesome vehicle from Lexus! Great video as always!
Nice looking Lexus. I’d pick it over a BMW any day but at that price I’d rather have a Charger ScatPack. Thanks for sharing it Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
9:08 got me there for a second
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, the 2020 must be different than my 2018 lol.
great review man!!
The button on the bottom left of the screen adjusts how much the backup cam takes up the screen. Press it using the mousepad and it should fix it.
This car is beautiful!
AGREED
Definitely better looking than a Supra, lol
It's alright, not particularly beautiful.
The 2020 refresh worked wonders for this car.
@Jay Smith handles just as good
Nothing like some Lexus on throttle tiiiiiiime!!!! Let's gooooooo!!! I love this one here Joe!!! That grill aside, it looks great!!! Lexus got a lot right with this RC F here. And that exhaust note is absolutely amazing!!! Lexus, please don't kill off this V8. Update the interior, especially the infotainment system, but leave that V8!!! #RaitisRides #OnThrottle #ToTheDoorPanel #TwinkiesGoWhere #CrownVic #OnThrottleAgain #V8Power
Mario Whyte this is too funny! I was just thinking the same thing, praying that Lexus doesn’t discontinue the Exquisite N/A V8, and then I see your comments!👍🏻👍🏻😁
Great review love this Lexus
Hi Joe
Wow beautiful car!!
The seats were Atomic!! ( That's a good thing.) Damn, Joe why you let the cars pass you on the highway. You could have smoked those, jamokes, haha ( Like "Baretta" used to say. Old tv show before your time haha)
Ok great one
Shaun of NYC 🗽🗽
in 10 years time,the owner of this lexus will still be happy driving it...the owner of the bmw m4 will be bankrupt!
BMW parts and labor are a joke
Honestly if maintaining a BMW will bankrupt you, you shouldn't be buying a BMW in the first place.
It's very unfortunate that we still have people that will have to work crapload of overtimes just to be able to afford it.
you think ppl who drive this kind of car keep them forever? lolz
@@sunrider7956 it will eventually end up in someone's hands unfortunately
@@hybridstiger dont blame the consumer for buying a product that is designed to fail and costly to repair. Blame BMW
I know darn well you didnt think it was that fast from the look on your face vs the looks you do in other cars 😂
I’ve never watched this guy before. But he might be my new favorite. 🙏🏾👍🏽
I have a 2015 RCF and people think it is brand new. Back seat is comfy if you’re not 6’. Front seats are the most comfortable I’ve ever had in a car. The stereo rocks. You can get a used RCF for the same price of a new RC250/350. They are just hard to find as not many on the market at any one time. RCF = smile on your face.
I’d 100% get this over an M4. Better sound, reliability, resale value etc
I totally agree with you!
And you don't see them at every intersection, like I see M cars here in overpaid suburbia
Same. My gf just bought the rc350 f sport. Love the car. I have been eying the rcf. Lol
Sam P I like how better car wasn't one of your reasons
the M4 is a reliable car, my uncle had an M4 and M3 Comp and nothing went wrong
“Congratulations you have two friends “ this guys great😂
Ya they did do a good job on that interior...Nice unique car
Love the RCF
They need to move the park brake to a button on the centre console and tweak the interior a bit more....
hoping to get a good deal on the 2020 RC-F in the next year or two, then might supercharge it for the performance.
That sounds like a great game plan!
And please do not rice this beautiful piece of art.
If your gonna lease BMW M4...driving for 6+ years then Lexus is the way to go...Plus I prefer V8 NA engines.
Joe great content as usual...🤙
Thanks man!
Which means the Bmw m4 is actualy the better car
@@kristians2704 🙄
My good friend has a 15 Blue one with the carbon roof and spoiler with a race exhaust. It sounds great and he has loved the car since he got it. He lives near Road Atlanta and Lexus has him bring it to events there to show. For me and the price I think I would choose something different but its a good looking car.
Thanks for sharing that great input Travis. I would love to see your friend's car.
Very beautiful car!! Been going thru review and I can't wait to test drive this bad boy myself so excited great video excellent review!! How would you think it would handle in the winter condition such as snow ❄!! Live in Colorado
I think with a good set of snow tires you should be fine.
GSF for me.....it's the badass pimp-daddy Lexus. One of the best sounding motors on the market.
I like the way that you think!
"Look at those calipers, they look like massive oranges"
"I want some OJ right about now" 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
LMAO! Thanks for letting me share the laughs with you!
I just bought one. What an insane and classy and gorgeous car especially in midnight mica
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HOW YOU ACTUALLY THROTTLE THE CARS... THIS IS WHAT WE WANT TO SEE ON REVIEWS! KEEP MASHING
"Maybe a few tacos if you feel you need to run to the border" LMAOOOO
Thanks for letting me share some laughs.
@@RaitisRides minutemen - corona plays!!
"Or a couple tacos If you're feeling like you need a run to the border"
LOL
LOL
Hey Joe great video. Does this feel faster or did Lexus LC500 felt faster?
That’s an awesome car Joe 😀👍
Raiti! Love the channel man. First off, I just want to suggest.. this car is NOT meant to compete with the M4, how ever consumers and review sites often compare them. After owning the First Gen (2015) RC-F for 2 years, I have to say, it is MUCH more comfortable than the M4. It is NOT as fast and DOES NOT have aftermarket capabilities as the BMW. (RR-Racing fan boys, please stay out of this) It is plenty enough of power, I've ran a bunch of Coyote 5.0's, 392 Scat Packs, Camaro SS's and have beaten many (pre 10 speed auto models). If you're ever in Houston, TX give me a DM, take my full bolt on F out for a spin (its 10x better than stock).
Like someone said below,
M4= Lease/Rent
RC-F= Buy preowned (huge discount, you can find one for 38-45,000 with ~30K miles or less)
Shameless Instagram Plug: @ Htizzys_RCF
The Hardest working Man..on RUclips 👏👏👏💯💯
Thanks for saying that and letting me share my car passion with you!
Just when I thought it couldn’t get better, lexus drops the track edition decked out in carbon. Still enjoy that video you did btw.
When I first saw the hourglass front grille from Lexus I thought it was ugly. It wasn't until I saw their more performance vehicles that I actually grew to like it. I think these higher end models make the grille work a lot better than their regular models.
Nice car and good job covering it as always 👍
Had an M4, drove it as hard as I can for 2 years. Traded for a 718s. Drove the RCF. Subdued performance. Best way to describe it. M4 is very in-your-face. Very direct.
agreed the rcf seems to be very "I can go fast but i think i shouldn't go that fast" and the m4 is just "BRAAAAAAAAAAA BRAAAAAAA"
So basically the M4 is better. Much better technology and performance. These are performance cars, it's supposed to be in your face. These are also luxury cars, that infotainment screen and system in the RCF is awful.
@@lakerfan1855 Lol no basically the m4 is not better. There is nothing wrong with the infotainment system unless youre a 60 year old geezer that is technologically inept. The car is beautiful inside and out. So many quality engineered things that a BMW would never even dream of...let's see how many of each car is on the road 10 years from now
@@TwinTurboOnly exactly these bmw fanboys are blind...this car is a work of art
I think what he's trying to say is RC-F "it's disappointly slow" for what it should and could be. I love the way it looks and would get one only if it performed like it should in speed/track and course tests like it's competitors. However despite looks it always comes out on the bottom.
Arrived, she looks sharp!
I’m right there with you!
Sweet ride, Joey R. And hell of a lot more unique, with more character than an M4. I'd just keep a box of Twinkies on the passenger seat. :) JV Johnny
The model you have doesn't have torque vector differential which makes a big difference or does it have track and Slalom modes. These make a huge difference in driving.
All I can say is I LOVE THAT CAR! really do!
I am so glad that you like this one.
Caranddriver recently did a 0-60 mph in 4.1 seconds and 1/4 mile in 12.6 seconds and handling numbers of 0.98 g on the stock Sport 4S street tires with the TVD/carbon Lexus RCF. Almost 1.00 g on street tires is a testament to the great chassis/suspension setup. It performs very well considering it is supposed to balancing performance and luxury.
This is a good car but i think it still a little bit slower than expected, even slower than the supra. With that much power this car should do 0-60 in less than 4 second and quarter miles should be less than 12.5 second, i think the weight and the transmission is holding back the engine capability.
@@nonameyet2205 With bolt ons (intake/header/exhaust), there are videos of it easily dipping to 12.0 and with tune and sticky tire, get less than that. From a rolling start RCF beats the Supra. There are videos on it. From a dead stop, the launching is the issue on the RCF. RCF really shines from a rolling start. From a 50 mph roll in 2nd gear, the RCF beats the Supra because it has a faster 0-150 mph time. I can show you video of a stock RCF beating a stock Supra from a roll. Also, remember Supra only has 2 seats and has almost no usable space while the RCF has a usable trunk and back seats where you can put kids.
@@KLRGT500KR The problem is a bone stock supra can do 12 second flat. The RC F will beat the supra in a rolling race but it still takes some times to pass the supra. Im not saying that the RC F is slow but i want lexus to improve its acceleration by reducing its weight and put a better transmission and add some launch control. Obviously 472hp is alot of power but with this car it seems rather slow, for comparison the c8 corvette has similar engine naturaly aspirated V8 with 490hp but because of its lightweight and launch control it can do 0-60 in just 3 second flat and 1/4 mile in less than 12 second, that is fast. The RC F has a good engine but its just too heavy and the transmission isn't fast enough.
@@nonameyet2205 it already has launch control and I beat a 2020 supra in the 1/4 from a dig by 1 full car length in my 2016 rc f
noName yet honestly if it had better gearing like the ISF it would accelerate a lot better but weight reduction would help A LOT
GREAT review Joe!!! If you HAD to choose would you take the RC F or M4??
Beautiful sound
If it had a manual transmission it would beat the M4 no contest.
This is true!
Dude you are insane. From a 5.0l v8 BMW can make easly 600hp, and can be lighter and have impressive advanced tech. Also Alfa Romeo get's 510hp from a v6 2.9l.
@@ivangamer8022
Ok, but the neither the M4 or the Alfa use a 5.0L V8
@@rhatala27 Alfa use a lightweight 2.9l v6 wich gives from 510hp to 560hp. Because europeans dont want to pay taxes for v8. Meanwhile this Lexus has less than 500hp from a v8 and way way more weight. Also a dumb chassis
@@ivangamer8022
V8 sounds better and NA feels better
Probably not on paper. But for overall quality, appearance, how uncommon it is, and above all ..reliability and cost of ownership. Hell yes, it’s better.
Looks bad ass in black !
hoping you review the 2021 LEXUS IS F SPORT need to see it 🙏 and 2020 LEXUS IS F SPORT too..
IMO this is the real *Toyota* Supra
Well it's definitely better looking (IMO). The Supra looks like an aborted Batmobile concept.
Except this is a heavy luxury v8...
@@elikinzie23 The old supra was pretty heavy too and it was supposed to be a GT
@@trinkie Still is a GT

Same here!
That car looks like it means business. Look at those headlights!
I'm a lexus fan boy but sometimes I wish lexus made turbos. It would be so different because then they would do everything.
I was very indifferent about the RC F but you're selling me in it!
I know how you feel man.
I’m gonna own this car one day 😩🤤
Yes you will!
Nice car and cool review but I would take a used lc500 over this rcf any day.
Good call!
heavyg 1971 you are so right. You just can’t deny that beautiful exhaust note on the LC 500!
@@eleanormassaro5195- I also like the fact that these cars stay tight and rarely develop any squeaks or other noises..resale value is at the very top along with reliability.
heavyg 1971 for sure. Been driving my 2010 RX350 for 10 years. And it still looks and drives like new!
i have RC350 right now, thinking of getting this, still decide between this and the Supra.
Nice review Haiti..especially love it in blue. Didn’t you find the car a little heavy? Just curious
It is but nothing to crazy Lee.
@@RaitisRides which color do you think looks best on the RC F?
If it weighed 400 pounds less it would be near perfect 👌🏽

True for almost any car these days, except the BRZ and the Miata.
Theres a woman at work I could say the same about
@@weirdshibainu lol
Bmw makes fast cars because it is made of light plastic. But it will not last.
You sure are consistent whenever you’re always talking about Twinkies and I love the Camaro SS and The Mustang gt except challenger my least favorite car
Thanks Brian for letting me share it all with you!
Less anxiety over reliability with the Lexus. Especially if you live in a hot, humid climate. The European cars don’t do well in the southern US or Florida unless they are garaged. I had a lot of electrical problems with multiple European cars and zero with two Lexus cars.
Am 16 and that is my dream car right there
That price is a ZONK 🤦🏽♂️
Am I the only one that really doesn't like the new headlights? They look like they're one of those cheap aftermarket ones.
I can understand where you are coming from.
I actually like the new ones, I wasn't a big fan of the separated lights
@@MoNeenja, I thought they looked unique. These one's remind me of the aftermarket ones you find on Ebay.
@@Sarcastic_Asmodeus lol ya the old ones look more aggressive but the new ones are nice
Lexus all day! Ya maybe 0.3 econds slower to to 60mph but end of the day reliability is key 🔑. Plus it sounds much better. At the end of the day, car enthusiasts don't care about infotainment. They care about driving experience, sound and reliability. I'm biased but end of day I'd go Lexus
How are you Joe? LEXUS!!! LET'S GO!!!
LEXUS it´s TOP 👌🏻👍🏻😍
I am so glad that you like this one Peter!
Damn. That price.😞
I feel your pain.
It is a more emotional GT with nice performance and ownership experience :-) That is my take.
So beautiful rcf...❤👍
74k ?!!! The infotainment symptom is dated
I want good infotainment... Got a '17 NSX that has infotainment out of a '15 Honda. Thankfully other aspects of the car make up for that.
Well you’ll be having your first oil change by the time a beamer(at that price range) owner with the “superior tech” would have to replace the whole engine. Durability vs advance tech. With all the hi tech parking assists and what not that the newer beamers have, half of the beamers in a typical parking lot are still parked like ass in a slot that can fit a car and a half.
True...but for the engine alone ill give it a pass :)
But it will work not like a bmw that will go for 3 years and then break 🙄 😉
@@joecobra4905 bmw don’t break in 3 years. You have listened too much to Scotty Kilmer
Why are they disrespecting my dream car with this dated interior 😤, the outside got a refresh and the inside got half-assed refresh. Still on my top 5 would buy if I had lots of money lol. First thing I'm doing is a straight pipe and a tune
Hi Zonkman, love this awesome car but, no car's perfectly made because it'll be boring seeing perfection all the way. How can Lexus fix it's deficiencies in this RCF and why! What's going to happen if cars were 100% made?
Lexus 💯!! Reliability is the BEST in the business !! BMW’s are empty $ pits after 50k miles and about 5 years old ! I know first hand with an X5 that was in the shop more than on the road for the short 8 months I owned it !
