At the Tokyo Auto Salon, Lexus is showcasing the RZ Sport Concept which embody its vision for a carbon neutral society while giving customers the chance to use their vehicles to support a wide variety of lifestyles – vehicles enhanced by a commitment to create ever-better cars bred from motorsport. 

Lexus RZ Sport Concept

The RZ Sport Concept is based on Lexus’s first dedicated battery electric vehicle (BEV). It has been customised under the supervision of racing driver Masahiro Sasaki, who also contributed to development of the RZ production car. The concept has high-output 150kW front and rear motors and sits 35mm lower to the ground. It features custom aerodynamic parts, large diameter tyres and racing-style seats. The exterior colour, Hakugin, has a pure white base with a delicate shining texture and a blue accent that evokes clean BEV performance. 

Tokyo Outdoor Show

Lexus is launching its Overtrail Project at the Tokyo Outdoor Show, highlighting a range of outdoor experiences from simple picnics and camping to off-road adventures in challenging environments. The project’s inspiration to explore new paths and nature is represented by three Lexus concept vehicles. 

RX Outdoor Concept

The RX Outdoor Concept is based on the all-new RX 450h+ plug-in hybrid electric SUV and is specially equipped for active outdoor lifestyles.

Lexus ROV Concept 2

The ROV Concept 2 inherits the off-road capabilities and the hydrogen-powered engine of the original ROV (Recreational Off-highway Vehicle) concept, combining a vision of carbon neutrality while preserving the emotional sensations associated with the combustion engine. Both concept models are finished in an exclusive exterior colour, Regolith, which combines matt texture, brilliance and toughness. The name is taken from geology, used to describe loose matter that covers the surface of the earth, moon and other planets and asteroids.

    1. Hello Bhagwan, thanks for your comment.

      We have no information on this at the moment. Please keep an eye on our mag and social media channels for the latest updates.

      Thanks.

  2. Please – please do not put this RZ Concept car into production. It is in my opinion the most ugly design I have ever seen. It lacks the ‘quality’ look associated with Lexus cars of yesteryear. Dare I say perhaps an Italian car designer should be considered..

    Sorry!

  3. I think the concept design of the RZ Sport front elevation is stunning & captures the raw power of a racing car. In my opinion this is also elegant, however the rear elevation needs work on it.

  4. I am disappointed to see that the RZ Concept car will be pure electric (BEV) why not hybrid or looking to the future, hydrogen? I do not see pure electric as the future, just another option in low emission vehicles. The design looks like the Toyota C-HR and lacks the elegant styling of my Lexus ISF which is now being replaced by the ES range.
