The new RZ 450e is the first Lexus electric vehicle to be designed from the ground up. It not only has a battery-electric drive instead of a conventional motor, but also fully exploits the potential of new technologies to increase performance and driving pleasure in equal measure, true to the "Lexus Electrified" philosophy. First and foremost, the new RZ is a true Lexus - it has all the qualities of performance and craftsmanship that the brand is known for. The company has leveraged its extensive experience in electrification to combine the benefits of a battery electric model (BEV) with the brand's signature sophistication to create a unique driving experience. This is evident, for example, in the advanced powertrain, which includes optional steer-by-wire steering with a new "One-Motion-Grip" yoke steering wheel, as well as E-Axle drive front and rear, again linked to the new Lexus DIRECT4 all-wheel drive system works together. A new body platform specially developed for electric vehicles is the basis for the outstanding driving characteristics of the new RZ 450e; it is characterized by high body rigidity, a low center of gravity and a long wheelbase. The powerful lithium-ion battery is fully integrated into the chassis under the vehicle floor; continuous monitoring of battery status ensures long-term performance
