Lexus Australia Introduces Special Edition RZ 600e F SPORT Performance BEV

Sydney, 2025 — Lexus Australia has announced the arrival of the Special Edition RZ 600e F SPORT Performance, a high-performance iteration of its dedicated battery-electric SUV lineup. This model marks the latest evolution in Lexus’s electrified strategy, combining enhanced power, advanced aerodynamics and bespoke design elements with Toyota’s luxury DNA.

Performance and Powertrain

At the heart of the new RZ 600e F SPORT Performance is a dual-motor all-wheel drive setup powered by a 76.96 kWh battery pack, delivering a combined system output of 313 kW (425.5 PS). Each motor — front and rear — produces 167 kW and 268 Nm of torque, giving this special edition SUV serious dynamic capability.

System Max Output: 313 kW (425.5 PS)
0–100 km/h: 4.4 seconds
Cruising Range: up to 525 km (WLTC)
Energy Consumption: 159 Wh/km
Fast Charging Standard: CHAdeMO

These performance figures make the RZ 600e F SPORT Performance one of the most powerful variants in the Lexus RZ lineup, targeting drivers who want both electric refinement and engaging acceleration.

Sporty Design and Aerodynamics

Lexus has injected visual and functional upgrades that set the Special Edition apart visually and aerodynamically:

Exterior Enhancements

Special Edition 21-inch matte black ENKEI wheels
Six-piston aluminium monoblock brake calipers with Lexus branding
Large arch mouldings and carbon-accented exterior trim (hood bulge, spoilers, headlamp bezels, roof and rear wing)
Unique paint options: Black & HAKUGIN II or Black & Neutrino Gray

Lowering the overall body height by approximately 20 mm compared with the standard RZ 550e F SPORT reduces drag and improves stability at speed, while larger brake rotors and enhanced brake hardware help match stopping power to the increased performance.

Interior: Performance Meets Luxury

Inside, the RZ 600e F SPORT Performance offers a bespoke cabin feel with performance-oriented touches:

Ultrasuede® sport seats with blue stitching, ventilation and driver memory function
Sport-themed instrument accents and blue interior highlights
Dial-type shift selector with performance styling cues

These trim and material upgrades not only improve the sense of occasion but also provide better support and comfort for spirited driving as well as everyday use.

Dimensions and Practicality

The RZ 600e F SPORT Performance maintains a commanding presence on the road with dimensions suited to both highway cruising and urban use:

Length: 4,860 mm
Width: 1,965 mm
Height: 1,615 mm
Wheelbase: 2,850 mm
Vehicle Weight: ~2,140 kg
Tire Sizes: 255/40 R21 (front) and 295/35 R21 (rear)

These proportions contribute to the SUV’s balanced stance and spacious interior, while the AWD configuration aids traction in various conditions.

Driving Dynamics and Experience

The RZ 600e F SPORT Performance builds on Lexus’s electrified all-wheel-drive system, designed to deliver both confidence and excitement. The revised powertrain and aerodynamic refinements help produce a sportier throttle response and enhanced stability, while standard features such as Lexus’s DIRECT4 torque distribution (on other RZ variants) aim for smooth, controlled handling across surfaces.

Lexus Electrification Strategy

Lexus has been steadily broadening its electrified portfolio, from hybrids and plug-in hybrids to fully electric vehicles like the RZ. The launch of this special edition underscores the brand’s commitment to high-performance BEVs that don’t sacrifice luxury or everyday usability.
