In 2020, the popular Lexus RC F luxury sedan hits showroom floors with a number of upgrades, including a bit of a bump in power, a lighter weight, a refreshed chassis design, an upgraded suspension, and perhaps most exciting, the new RC F Track Edition. The F Track is a limited-edition high-end trim level that adds a number of options packages and features to the game, and many drivers wonder whether they should take the plunge. Let's look at the base RC F and how the 2020 Lexus RC F Track Edition compares. more Performance The 2020 Lexus RC F is a performance model of the RC Coupe. It comes standard with a 5.0-liter V-8 engine that delivers 472 horsepower backed up by 395 feet per pound in torque. It's matched with a specially tuned, eight-speed automatic transmission, an adaptive variable suspension, an Aisin limited-slip differential, beefy Brembo brakes, and 19-inch wheels made of forged alloy. The Track Edition, on the other hand, gives you a more aggressive performance. While the engine is the same, the Torsen limited-slip differential is tuned more toward sport performance. It gives a direct gear-type differential that provides unbelievable torque vectoring. Weight The Lexus RC F Track Edition also hits the road at a lighter bodyweight than the standard RC F. Due to standard carbon-ceramic brakes, it comes out at 121 pounds lighter, according to Lexus. This is even more important when you consider that the standard 2020 RC F is already 55 pounds lighter than last year's model thanks to a tweaked suspension, lighter intake manifold, hollow half-shafts, and other options. Aerodynamics Lexus has also taken steps to improve the aerodynamics on the Track Edition. The carbon-fiber rear wing, roof, and hood yield 58 pounds of downforce at 168 mph. The front splitter is aggressively shaped and includes a rubber spoiler underneath that is designed to smooth the airflow traveling beneath the car. This is all intended to reduce lift and drag and provide a more aggressive performance, especially at higher speeds. Suspension Dynamics While both cars nominally use the same springs for suspension, the Track Edition tunes the adaptive suspension dampers far more aggressively. This again helps to smooth out the ride, improve acceleration and handling, and provide a much more dramatic, confident, and athletic personality on the track. In the end, the Track Edition is an aggressive track car that still manages to balance its features with road-legal daily driving. For those who value performance out of their sport coupe, it will certainly provide a pulse-pounding ride and offer aggressive acceleration, athletic cornering, and authoritative handling at every step of the way. Of course, all of these upgrades and the limited-edition production numbers will result in a higher price tag.
