The AWD models pack a 3.5L V6 with 194 kW (260 bhp/264 metric hp) and 320 Nm (236 lb-ft). The RC 350 models also pack a 3.5L V6, but offer 232 kW (311 bhp/315 metric hp) and 380 Nm (280 lb-ft). The RWD models are coupled with an 8-speed automatic transmission while the AWD models are coupled with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
The 2023 RC F also continues with the 5.0L N/A V8 motor with 352 kW (472 bhp/479 metric hp) and 535 Nm (395 lb-ft) of torque. An 8-speed automatic transmission drives the rear wheels via a Torsen limited-slip differential.
