Lexus has built two 2-door coupes in recent years: the RC, a sport coupe made for everyday driving, and the LC, a flagship grand tourer. The 2025 model year was the final year for the RC and RC F, and 2026 is the final model year for the LC 500 coupe and convertible. This guide compares both so you can decide which Lexus coupe fits the way you drive.

The Lexus RC pairs sharp, aggressive styling with a driver-focused cabin. Rear-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is available on select models. The lineup covers a broad range of performance:
The rear-wheel-drive RC 300 uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder rated at 241 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The RC 300 AWD uses a 3.5-liter V6 rated at 260 hp with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
The RC 350 steps up to a 311-hp, 3.5-liter V6 with 280 lb-ft of torque. Rear-wheel-drive models use an 8-speed automatic, and all-wheel-drive models use a 6-speed automatic. For the 2025 model year, the RC 350 RWD started under $50,000 MSRP.
The high-performance Lexus RC F uses a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 rated at 472 hp. For 2025, every RC F was built as a Final Edition with carbon fiber exterior components and a red and black interior.
Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 is standard on the 2025 RC and RC F, which makes the RC a practical choice for drivers who want a coupe they can enjoy every day.
The Lexus LC is the brand’s flagship 2-door, known for its low, wide profile and signature spindle grille. It is available as a coupe and as a convertible.
The LC 500 uses a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 rated at 471 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. Lexus rates the coupe at 4.4 seconds from 0 to 60 mph. For 2026, Lexus added a limited-production Inspiration Series for both the coupe and convertible.
The LC 500h combined a 3.5-liter V6 with electric motors for a total output of 354 hp. The hybrid was offered through the 2025 model year, so pre-owned inventory is the best place to look for one today.
Choose the RC if you want a sporty coupe for daily driving, a choice of powertrains, and available all-wheel drive. Choose the LC if you want a flagship grand tourer with V8 power, a convertible option, and a more premium experience. Because both models are in their final model years, many shoppers will also compare L/Certified Lexus vehicles and other pre-owned Lexus inventory. Learn more about the benefits of L/Certified.
