Just one engine is available in the RC 350 F-Sport, or the regular RC for that matter. The company’s smooth-running 2GR-FSE 3.5-liter V6 motivates these luxury coupes.
In this application it delivers 306 hp and 277 lb-ft of torque, numbers that actually lag behind some of the competition. For instance, the base, NON-luxury Chevy Camaro features a 3.6-liter six-shooter with 323 ponies.
This on-paper lack of oomph is curious, especially since the powerplant is augmented with Toyota’s D-4S fuel delivery system, which provides BOTH conventional port fuel injectors and direct injectors, for more power, better responsiveness and lower emissions.
An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard unless you opt for all-wheel-drive. If you need extra traction you get saddled with a six-speed self-shifter; no manual gearbox is available at any price point.
