I wonder if those rear spoiler wings are there for aero, style, and/or adas?
They were on the LF1, and can be seen on the BZ4X.
I’m leaning towards it being style first, but you never know

I seem to remember reading somewhere that there is aero functionality, reducing the need for a rear wiper, but now I can't find the article.I wonder if those rear spoiler wings are there for aero, style, and/or adas?
If Thomas thinks the UX300e is one of the best handling Lexus vehicles he's test driven (I think he even mentioned the LC as a reference), I bet the RZ will be significantly better especially if it's going to be a RWD or AWD version.
It just goes to show Toyota/Lexus can build good handling BEVs without requiring jarring suspension like on many Teslas.
I don't know if Koji Sato, President, Lexus International, Chief Branding Officer was referring to the RZ when he talked about exhilarating handling and/or performance, maybe he was referring to the Lexus Sports Car BEV.RZ might be comfy vs sporty, who knows. Like BZ4X leans on comfort side of things.
Which I think is good if it is not a pocket rocket anyway. LIke you say, Teslas are already on sport suspension side of things, it would be good to have comfy options.
I don’t think the range is only 400 km, maybe we will have different range in NAHaha, someone got impatient

They should just call it 'NZ' to show its competitors as the EQC/Q4 e-tron/iX3. At least against those outdated ICEV conversion models it's moderately competitive. Lexus just needs to pray its competitors don't come up with anything new for the next 5 years. What a genius strategy!
If BZ4X's execution is between average and okay, the RZ shows that Lexus think they are in a vacuum. It's not competitive against other EVs, nor will they succeed at convincing any Lexus buyer to not go for the NX450h+ instead. Or maybe that is their plan all along.
If this is what they deliver after all the hype with LF-30, LF-Z and the Dec 14 event, I cannot be excited for any of their EV lineup before 2025.
Except the interior/exterior different......It seem AWD totall power output powerful than BZ4X, I guess it seem using BZ's FWD front axle motor with normal rear axle motor?(1XM+1YM) 🤔
