Lexus has locked in Australian pricing for the RZ 600e F Sport Performance, the most powerful electric car it has ever sold here. It costs $135,000 before on-road costs, makes 313kW, and arrives in the fourth quarter of 2026. The catch is supply: Lexus Australia has secured only nine of them.
What $135,000 buys
The RZ 600e F Sport Performance tops the RZ range with 313kW from its twin motors, a 0 to 100km/h time of 4.4 seconds, and up to 420km of range on the WLTP cycle. Lexus builds fewer than 200 worldwide, and Australia's allocation is nine cars, offered through eight of the brand's 31 dealers. At $135,000 before on-road costs it is a halo model rather than a volume play, aimed at buyers who want the sharpest driving RZ with the full F Sport Performance hardware. Anyone after a Lexus SUV they can actually walk in and order is better pointed at the mainstream range, such as the Lexus RX.
Cartell Assessment
Nine cars is barely a rounding error, so this is about image, not sales. The figure that matters is 313kW in a brand better known for quiet refinement than outright pace, and 4.4 seconds backs the badge. At $135,000 it is dear for an RZ, but scarcity is the point. If you land an allocation, it is a collector's Lexus.
AU Outlook
Expect all nine to be spoken for quickly. The bigger story is that the wider RZ range keeps gaining power and range, so the everyday versions are the ones most buyers will actually cross shop against European rivals.
