Lexus says goodbye to the rc f
LEXUS RC and RC F
It’s official, this is your last chance to buy a new LEXUS RC or RCF. But if you waited this long, you’ll be rewarded with a special edition. After a decade of production, and over 90,000 examples sold across 62 countries, 2025 is the end of the road for the little 2 door grand tourer. For its swan-song, you can pick up the standard RC 300 with 241 horsepower, the RC 300 AWD with 260 horsepower, and the RC350 and 350 AWD with 280 horsepower.
But hey, this is the last year. If you’re gonna go out, go out big amirite? That’s where the final RC F comes in. Its final form will only be offered in a mono-spec Final Edition. Powered by the naturally aspirated 5.0 liter V8 that produces a proper 472 horsepower. There it is. It’ll come in only 4 colors, and a bespoke black and red leather-trimmed interior. You’ll get massive Brembo brakes, a hand-crafted rear diff, and a 0-60 time of 4.2 seconds. You’ll also get an active rear wing, lightweight 19” BBS wheels, and a carbon fiber, numbered “Final Edition” badge on your dash.
Corvette ZR1
A 41% price hike! You might be ready for the 2025 Corvette ZR1, but are you ready for the price? Heh. We’ll see. THIS is the all-new 2025 Corvette ZR1, the most powerful, fastest, corvette ever. Boasting a staggering 1064 horsepower that pushes it from 0-60 in only 2.3 seconds, and reaches a top speed of 223 mph. That’s over 11 school zones people.
Standard features include a hand-assembled 5.5L, twin-turbocharged V8 engine dubbed the LT7, carbon fiber roof, brakes, ground effects, and side intakes. We’ve been salivating over the flagship Vette since it was announced in July last year. But this week we finally got pricing and ordering information. In mid-February, Chevrolet will begin accepting orders, at a starting MSRP of $174,995 for the 1LZ coupe, and $184,995 for the 1LZ Hardtop Convertible. And if that’s not enough, you can order it in the 3LZ with the coupe starting MSRP* of $185,995 (including DFC) or $195,995 for the 3LZ spec’d convertible. When compared to the original MSRP of the last gen, C7 ZR1 in 2019, that’s
Mustang Spirit of America
As if the Mustang GTD wasn’t special enough already, FORD just announced a new trim that derives its inspiration from the 1964 Mustang Tribar, and the overalls of Craig Breedlove, a man who once used the Jet engine from a Korean War Fighter plane to break the land speed record. THIS is the all-new FORD Mustang GTD Spirit of America. It’ll only come in white with twin racing stripes in Race Red and Lightening Blue. There’s a bunch of exposed carbon fiber including the front splitter and spoiler, the latter of which has a 5ft Mustang printed on the back to remind the haters of who just passed them. The interior has a ton of unique and pretty colored bits, and It’ll come standard with the GTD Performance Package. And because it’s a GTD, it’ll boast 815 horsepower, 664 pound-feet of torque, and hit a top speed of 202 Miles per hour. The GTD is the fastest Street-legal Mustang EVER. And…
Aston Martin Vantage Roadster
Good God that’s a beautiful car. I mean I’ve always loved Aston Martins, but they just announced the 2025 Vantage Roadster, and I’m in love. The new 2024 Vantage Coupe was announced nearly a year ago, and blew us all away with it’s gorgeous design and massive increase in horsepower and torque. But the roadster was clearly worth the wait. Let’s talk about that top. It adds 132 pounds to the mix, which they tackled with a modified structure and suspension to account for the slight rearward shift in weight distribution. That’s what I would have done too. The top speed hasn’t suffered at all, still coming in at 202 mph, and going 0-60 in a scant 3.5 seconds. Honestly, I’d gladly crawl to 60 over a half hour period if I could do it looking that good. I mean look at that thing.
