I believe your 2015 is a TVD/CF so in case you are not aware, the 2024 RCF carbon fiber model is only available with Torsen LSD. TVD is no longer produced.

If you end up getting one, we should meet up next summer. I would like to see the refreshed one up, close and in person (I only have seen 2020+ RC350 F-Sport) and you can check out my OEM++ modded RCF to see how different a modded feels than stock.

The New 2024 Lexus RC & RC F Offer More Luxury & Performance



The 2024 Lexus RC and RC F come with enhanced features, exterior color options, and bolstered performance.

Lexus, the brand synonymous with luxury, has rolled out its modifications for the 2024 Lexus RC and RC F models, ensuring their reputation for elegance and performance remains unchallenged. Those familiar with the brand won’t be disappointed, and those new to it are in for a treat.

When we talk about making an impression, color is key. For 2024, the Lexus RC has added Cloudburst Gray to its palette, giving potential owners another shade to match their style. But it’s not just the RC that gets a color upgrade. The RC F Track Edition also adds Ultra White, Cloudburst Gray, and Caviar as exterior color options. These additions provide a fresh look for the already sleek car designs.

Performance remains at the heart of Lexus. The RC 300 boasts a 2.0-liter, twin-scroll turbocharged engine delivering a solid 241 horsepower, while the RC 300 AWD, with its V6, promises 260 horsepower. But Lexus doesn’t stop there. The RC 350 and its AWD counterpart come powered with a 3.5-liter V6 producing 311 horsepower.

For those in search of something even more thrilling, the high-performance RC F is where eyes will turn. Sporting a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8, this beast boasts 472 horsepower. Beyond raw power, it’s adorned with 19-inch wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tires and impressive Brembo brakes. Its interior is nothing short of luxurious, with exclusive F-badged sport seats and a bold digital display. And for those looking to own a piece of history, the 2024 model year will be the last chance to grab the RC F Track Edition, complete with its unique features.

Still craving more? The RC F Carbon Package brings even more gravitas. From carbon fiber details both inside and out to the heated steering wheel and intuitive parking assist, it’s evident that every detail, no matter how small, has been considered.

With the unveiling of the 2024 RC and RC F models, Lexus reinforces its commitment to quality, luxury, and performance. These models are expected to grace dealerships later this year, and they promise to be the perfect blend of sophistication and power. Whether you’re an enthusiast or a potential owner, these models are sure to captivate. As always, Lexus remains at the forefront of automotive excellence.

Nice, they're exactly the same as the 2023 MY. At least my 3 month old car doesn't feel old yet.

I think the TE gets more color options than last year and still no memory seat for F models. This has to be the last year and I guess the GT3 car is still racing in 2024.

Default Lexus RC F Track Edition Is Living On Borrowed Time

Some interesting statements on this Carbuzz article:

Lexus RC F Track Edition Is Living On Borrowed Time


”Lexus announced some minor updates for the 2024 RC and RC F coupes, but the big news is the axing of the aggressive RC F Track Edition.The model, first introduced in 2020, was created to compete against the likes of the BMW M3 Competition and Mercedes-AMG C63 with loads of lightweight carbon fiber and more focused performance upgrades. It retained the standard RC F's 5.0-liter 472-horsepower V8, which was the best thing about it. Naturally aspirated sports cars are in short supply these days.

The Track Edition's most significant issue is the price. For the 2024 model year, you can expect to pay $101,170, not including destination charges. That's significantly more than the BMW M4 Competition ($82,200), not to mention the $63,200 M2. And both these Bimmers would leave the RC F Track Edition eating dust, so all you're really paying for is exclusivity.”

Anyone know the current homologation status for the RC F and RC F GT3?

PS-We are all living on borrowed time

Yeah, it is because of the RCF GT3 racing in its final season. It will be retired in the 2024 racing season so the RCF will be discontinued at that time since there will be no homologation requirements anymore.

Interesting. Should we make anything of the fact then that Lexus in their MY2024 RC press release only says this is the last year for the TE? By simple logic, this is saying there will be at least a MY2025 base RC F. Perhaps a last hoorah special edition with limited units produced?

Yeah, could be, but even as an RCF owner, I am begging Lexus to kill the RCF. In 2025, it will have been in production for 11 years. A whopping 11 years LOL

Ending in 2024 would be a 10 model year run, which is exactly how long each previous generation of SC coupes lasted.

Change for better from my 2021 carbon package, touch display. Change for worse, no TVD.

They also removed the signature RCF 4 point shock tower braces. I guess, Lexus felt the front end was too rigid and did not need them (or just cost saving). I believe the TE might still have them (just a guess).

I believe they removed them from the new TEs as well.
