Lexus introduces a trio of new engine choices for 2016 RC Coupe

Lexus is adding a pair of new models to its RC luxury sports coupe lineup, with the new RC 200t and RC 300 AWD joining the RC 350, offering drivers more horsepower options to fit their needs (and a cheaper cost of entry). 

The new RC 200t, available as rear-wheel drive (RWD) only, adopts a 2.0-litre twin-scroll turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine with intercooler paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission. This engine produces 241bhp and has 350Nm of torque. 

The new RC 300 all-wheel drive (AWD) has 255bhp and 320Nm of torque from a modified 3.5-litre V6 engine paired to a six-speed automatic transmission. The AWD model allows drivers to have full confidence even in inclement weather. 

While the RC 350 swaggers with a striking exterior, it features refinement and power under the hood. A standard 306bhp 3.5-litre V6 teamed to an eight-speed Sports Program Direct Shift (SPDS) transmission for RWD models helps provide smooth acceleration, predictable torque and good fuel economy. The RC 350 is also available with AWD.
