Filed under classification 12, which pertains to “automobiles and structural parts thereof,” the trademark was filed yesterday through the Toyota Motor Corporation’s German arm of operations.
It makes logical sense for Lexus to have various powertrains available for the RZ, just as it does with all its other models, and the 300 designation is pretty common in the Lexus stable.
The trademark filing leaves us with more questions than answers, however. While we know what the new base model will be badged as, we don’t officially know what will power it.
Our most informed guess is that it will use one of the motor setups currently available in the bZ4X.
In FWD, single-motor guise, the bZ4X boasts 201 hp, 196 lb-ft of torque, and 252 miles of range. But the AWD option – the only option on the Subaru Solterra – produces a little more at 214 hp and 248 lb-ft, with only 222 miles.
