Lexus also has an electric concept car, the LF-Z Electrified, that is intended to showcase several components of the company’s future electric portfolio. Lexus proposed something dubbed “Direct4” as part of this concept, which is the automaker’s take on torque vectoring, which sends power to each wheel individually, enhancing grip in high-performance circumstances.
On a more fundamental level, Lexus claims that this concept car is designed to achieve “perfect balance and inertia” when driving due to the batteries and motors being placed optimally. That may be why Lexus chose a steering layout more typically associated with racing.
