For obvious reasons, the most powerful engine in the range (the 306hp, 3.5 - liter V6 available in the «RC 350» model) is the most effortless to get up to
speed, but all the other options do offer a respectable turn of
pace — even the 241hp 2.0 - liter inline - four engine in the «RC 200t» has a
decent amount of punch that belies its 7.3 - seconds 0 - 60mph time (even if it does sound rather strained
at higher revs).
But the 5.7 - liter, 383hp V8 with 8 -
speed auto «box struggle to shift the 6000 lb mass
at any
decent pace, even with permanent 4WD.
