The Lexus RC has officially reached the end of its production run, and buyers hoping to own a brand-new example are quickly running out of opportunities. Following the coupe’s discontinuation after the 2025 model year, dealer inventories have dwindled to just a handful of remaining vehicles.

According to a nationwide search of dealer listings on Cars.com, only two new 2025 Lexus RC 350 F Sport models remain available for sale in the United States. Once those vehicles are sold, the RC will officially disappear from new-car showrooms after more than a decade on the market.

Introduced for the 2015 model year, the RC was Lexus’ entry into the premium luxury coupe segment. It competed against established rivals such as the BMW 4 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe while offering the brand’s trademark reputation for reliability, comfort, and refined V6 performance.

Although the RC developed a loyal following among Lexus enthusiasts, it never achieved the sales success of many of its European competitors. With production now complete, the remaining dealer inventory represents the final opportunity to purchase a factory-new example.

Just Two New Cars Are Still Listed

A search of the current nationwide inventory shows only two unsold 2025 Lexus RC 350 F Sport coupes remain available at U.S. dealerships.

One vehicle is listed at Germain Lexus of Dublin, Ohio. The dealership is advertising the coupe for approximately $60,190, below its original manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $63,294.

The second remaining example is listed through Lexus of Maplewood in Minnesota. That vehicle carries a listed price of $63,038 and is finished in silver, based on the dealership’s online photographs.

Both remaining vehicles are RC 350 F Sport models rather than the standard RC 350, meaning buyers receive the sportier appearance package along with suspension upgrades and additional performance-oriented styling features.

A Grand Touring Coupe With Traditional Power

The RC 350 is powered by Lexus’ naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 engine, producing 311 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. Depending on drivetrain configuration, power is delivered through either a six-speed or eight-speed automatic transmission.

Unlike many newer luxury coupes that have adopted smaller turbocharged engines, the RC retained its naturally aspirated V6 throughout its production run. The F Sport package further enhanced the driving experience with suspension tuning, distinctive exterior styling, upgraded wheels, and sport-focused interior appointments.

While the RC was never positioned as an outright high-performance sports car outside of the more powerful RC F variant, it earned praise for its smooth power delivery, comfortable ride quality, and long-distance touring capability.

The End of a Long-Running Model

The discontinuation of the RC leaves the Lexus IS sedan as the brand’s primary compact performance-oriented model. It also reflects the industry trend away from traditional two-door coupes as buyers continue moving toward SUVs and crossovers.

Lexus has not announced a direct successor to the RC. Although speculation about a future coupe continues within enthusiast circles, the company has yet to confirm plans for a replacement.

For now, the RC’s production story has effectively come to a close. Once the final two examples find new owners, one of Lexus’ longest-running modern coupes will officially become part of the brand’s history.

A Future Collector’s Car?

Limited production numbers and the growing scarcity of naturally aspirated luxury coupes could make the final RC models especially appealing to collectors and enthusiasts. Vehicles powered by naturally aspirated engines are becoming increasingly uncommon as manufacturers transition toward turbocharged, hybrid, and fully electric powertrains.

Whether the RC ultimately develops significant collector value remains to be seen, but its combination of traditional V6 performance, Lexus reliability, and limited remaining availability gives it a unique place in today’s market. For buyers who have always considered owning one, the opportunity to purchase a brand-new RC is now rapidly coming to an end.
