Lexus RZ600e F Sport Performance – based on 550e F Sport but with 426 PS; 20 mm lower, 20-inch brakes

This is the Lexus RZ600e F Sport Performance, a special edition based on the RZ550e F Sport that’s priced around 12 million yen (RM310k). The EV gets more muscle, better aerodynamics and larger brakes – it should be a real hoot to drive.

Although the front and rear motor outputs are exactly the same as the RZ550e F Sport (227 PS/268 Nm each), as is the 4.4-second 0-100 km/h time, this thing’s combined output is higher (426 versus 408 PS) via “reassessing battery output limits”.

It also sits 20 mm lower than the RZ550e F Sport, and more stopping power comes from massive 20-inch brake discs, which hide behind 21-inch matte black Enkei alloys and are clamped by front-opposed six-piston aluminum monoblock blue callipers.

The RZ600e F Sport Performance inherits the RZ550e F Sport’s 77 kWh battery, steer-by-wire and Interactive Manual Drive (mimics an eight-speed auto, comes with shift paddles and simulated engine sounds) – click on the respective links to learn more about those systems.

It definitely looks more garang – carbon-finished are the bonnet, headlamp bezels, roof, wings (it has two! Then again, the 2024 RZ450e F Sport Performance also had two), turning vanes and lower door mouldings. A bodykit and wheelarch extensions complete the hairy-chested look, and you can have yours in black and Neutrino Gray, or black and Hakugin II (read: blue and white).

Inside, the special edition gets F Sport Performance Ultrasuede 2 sport seats – these are in black with blue stitching and feature driver memory and front seat ventilation. The rotary gear selector features black and blue accents, the trim piece that spans the full width of the dashboard is in blue and the front cupholders are finished in black hazel. The door cards are also in Ultrasuede 2.

While most dream of the future, Jonathan Tan dreams of the past, although he's never been there. Fantasises much too often about cruising down Treacher Road (Jalan Sultan Ismail) in a Triumph Stag that actually works, and hopes this stint here will snap him back to present reality.
