The Lexus RZ Just Got Far More Interesting With 8-Speed Shifts, Yoke Steering

I think nearly everyone would agree that this has been a strange and unpredictable year thus far. But nobody could’ve possibly had “The Lexus RZ will hit the MMA gym and become the second-ever production electric car with simulated gear shifts” on their bingo cards for 2025.
