2020 Lexus RC F Track Edition Review: Bark Over Bite

The Lexus RC F isn't perfect. A laggy transmission, tons of understeer, and a curb weight that rivals some full-size sedans make it not as alluring in a class that includes very good alternatives like the BMW M4, Mercedes-AMG C63 Coupe, and Audi RS5. But, look at the silver lining: the RC F is one of the only remaining options with a V8, where many of its rivals have turned to turbocharged six-cylinders. It's absurdly comfortable, too, with one of the nicest interiors you'll find anywhere. And for 2020, in an effort to address some of those issues, Lexus went all-out and created an RC F designed exclusively for the track… or so it wants us to think.

The Lexus RC F Track Edition, as its name implies, is a lighter, more aerodynamic riff on the same RC F that's been around since 2016 (albeit, sporting the 2020 facelift). It certainly looks wilder, and engineers promote minor tweaks to things like the throttle mapping and revisions to the transmission. But after a week with it, the RC F Track Edition still feels like the same old RC F, if only slightly better and much wilder to look at.

The Lexus RC F Track Edition looks like a freakin’ Hot Wheels car. Swapping sheet metal for carbon fiber on the hood, roof, and front splitter, and tacking on a tacky Fast-And-Furious-esque rear wing mean this car draws attention everywhere it goes. It also gets a trim-exclusive Matte Nebula Gray finish that’s extremely hard to keep clean. But we sort of like how insane it looks – and that ridiculous bodywork is good for more than just showing off at gas stations.

All that exposed carbon (plus lightweight wheels and carbon-ceramic brakes) drop the Track Edition's mass by 121 pounds over the lightest 2020 RC F, bringing its total curb weight to 3,781 pounds. That makes the Track Edition sort of lightweight by Lexus standards, but still pretty hefty comparatively: the BMW M4 CS weighs 3,620 pounds, and even the Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 is lighter at 3,760 pounds.
