Is the Lexus RC 200t twin turbo?

No, the Lexus RC 200t is not a twin-turbo model. The RC 200t is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, not a twin-turbo setup.


Explaining the Lexus RC 200t Engine


The Lexus RC 200t is part of the RC lineup, Lexus' sporty coupe model. It is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine that produces 241 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. This engine uses a single turbocharger to boost power, rather than the more powerful twin-turbo configuration.


The RC 200t is the base engine option in the RC lineup, slotting below the more powerful RC 350 and high-performance RC F models. While the 200t provides a good balance of performance and efficiency, it does not have the same level of power and acceleration as the twin-turbo or naturally aspirated V6 engines found in higher trims.


Lexus RC Model Lineup



  • RC 200t - 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder (241 hp)

  • RC 300 - 3.5L V6 (260 hp)

  • RC 350 - 3.5L V6 (311 hp)

  • RC F - 5.0L V8 (472 hp)


As you can see, the RC 200t is the entry-level model in the lineup, with more powerful and performance-oriented variants available for those seeking greater acceleration and driving dynamics. But the 200t still provides a compelling blend of style, comfort, and efficiency for Lexus buyers.
