The "Lexus RZ600e 'F SPORT Performance'" satisfies the feelings of drivers who don't want to compromise on performance even in a BEV. Based on the "RZ550e 'F SPORT'", it boasts an overwhelming performance with a maximum output of 313 kW and acceleration from 0-100 km/h in 4.4 seconds, while achieving stability enhanced by aerodynamic parts. Check out a vehicle that can accompany you from daily use to long drives.

The core of driving is "electric performance"

The base of the "Lexus RZ600e 'F SPORT Performance'" is the "RZ550e 'F SPORT'" which has completely revamped the BEV system. By reassessing the battery output limits from the prototype and raising the system's maximum output to 313 kW, it has become possible to achieve smooth acceleration from the throttle.

The figure of 0-100 km/h in 4.4 seconds creates a sense of "unity" that surpasses the numbers. The driver should feel a sense of forward movement exactly as intended. The overall height is kept 20 mm lower than the base model, achieving reduced air resistance and a flatter posture change with minimal roll. Additionally, the AWD layout equipped with 167 kW motors at both front and rear effectively transmits driving force to the road regardless of surface conditions.

Steer-by-wire and a chassis that emphasizes "the joy of control"

The steer-by-wire system that connects steering operations and tire steering angles is a technology that symbolizes the next-generation steering feel envisioned by Lexus. The "RZ600e 'F SPORT Performance'" features a steering wheel designed specifically for this system. It aims for consistent responsiveness from low-speed urban driving to winding roads.

Furthermore, it adopts the "Interactive Manual Drive," which embodies the joy of driving. One significant aspect is the deepening of communication with the car through pedal and steering operations. In addition to the chassis performance inherited from the base vehicle, this model refines aerodynamics and suspension as an "F SPORT Performance," expressing the feeling of "manipulating at will" in an electric SUV.

Aero parts and aerodynamic package infused with insights from aviation and racing

The development of the "RZ600e 'F SPORT Performance'" involved air race pilot Yoshihide Muroya and racing driver Masahiro Sasaki. The aerodynamic insights honed in the worlds of aircraft and motorsports have been incorporated into the specially designed exterior.

What first catches the eye in the exterior are the ENKEI-made 21-inch aluminum wheels (matte black finish) and large arch moldings. By combining carbon hood bulges, carbon roofs, carbon spoilers, carbon wings, and carbon tuning vanes (front/rear), it achieves a balance of strong downforce and straight-line stability.

The front six-piston aluminum monoblock calipers also contribute to brake cooling and braking performance while creating a sense of unity in aerodynamics and visuals. The two body colors of Black & HAKUGIN II (Silvery White II) and Black & Neutrino Gray further accentuate the body lines created by these parts.

In the interior, the sporty mind characteristic of “F SPORT Performance” and the quality feel typical of Lexus are expressed through the one-piece molded sports seats. The Ultra Suede seats in black are designed to hold the body securely while minimizing fatigue during long-distance travel. It also features a driver seat position memory and ventilation functions for both the driver and front passenger seats.

The interior color scheme, unified with black and blue accents, is consistently arranged across the dial-style shifter, instrument panel, front cup holders, and door trims, creating a refreshing tension throughout the cockpit that echoes the exterior blue accents.
