Lexus is adding two new models to the 2016 RC Coupe’s lineup, the RC 200t and RC 300 AWD.

The RC 200t is powered by the same 2.0-liter twin-scroll turbocharged four-cylinder engine as the NX 200t and IS 200t models. It generates 241 hp and has 258 lb.-ft. torque and is mated to a standard eight-speed automatic transmission. The RC 300 AWD is powered by a detuned version of the 3.5L V6 that powers the RC 350. In the RC 300 AWD it generates 255 hp and 236 lb.-ft. torque. The RC 300 AWD sends the power to the ground via a six-speed automatic transmission.
