Lexus RZ600e F SPORT Performance EV Unveiled with 426 hp

Lexus introduced the RZ600e F SPORT Performance, a high‑performance version of its RZ battery‑electric SUV. The model delivers 313 kW (approximately 426 hp), equivalent to a six‑liter natural‑aspiration engine, and features extensive carbon‑fiber aerodynamics, a large rear wing, 20‑inch brake discs and wider 21‑inch tyres. Power is provided by upgraded dual‑motor units of 167 kW each, exceeding the output of the earlier concept shown at the 2023 Tokyo Auto Salon. Production is limited to about 100 units, priced between ¥12.165 million and ¥12.44 million, and the vehicle is expected to sell out quickly.

The RZ600e’s development involved collaboration with Air Race pilot Tokura and racing driver Sasaki, aiming to combine extreme downforce with enhanced handling for high‑speed driving.
