This is the final year for the Lexus RC.

The automaker announced that 2025 is the final year for the sporty coupe, which will officially be discontinued in December of this year. The company’s other two-door car, the LC, which is available as a coupe or convertible, continues to be available.

“The RC and RC F series are ready to fulfill any passion for high performance,” said Martin Gilbert, director of Lexus Canada, in a news release. “Our popular RC luxury sport coupe offers style, features, and safety to transform every drive into an amazing experience, while our high-performance RC F will be offered in a unique special edition for 2025.”

The company said that more than 90,000 RC models were sold in 62 countries over a decade.

For the 2025 model year, the car is available in RC 300, RC 350 and RC F versions.

The trio has the following powertrains:

• RC 300 – 3.5-litre direct injection V6 with 260 hp and 236 lb.-ft of torque
• RC 350 – same motor but tuned to 311 hp and 280 lb.-ft. of torque
• RC F – Naturally aspirated 5-litre V8 producing 472 hp

The RC 300 and RC 350 have all-wheel drive, while the RC F has rear-wheel drive.

For the final year, the RC F is offered only in Final Edition spec, which features the 2024 model year RC F’s Performance Package plus some mechanical and aesthetic enhancements to give it a GT3-inspired appearance.
