Lexus won’t cap the availability of the limited-run LBX Morizo RR in Australia, as orders continue to mount for the genre-bending performance model.

Around 90 units have been allocated to the Australian market for the first year of deliveries, which is less than the number of orders Lexus has received.

One third of the initial allocation has already been delivered including dealer demonstrators, leaving 60 cars to satisfy an order bank exceeding 100 vehicles.

In response to brimming demand, Lexus Australia is pushing the decision-makers in Japan to bolster local stock of the Morizo RR.

“There is no predetermined, finite number for this car, but it will be built in limited volumes,” a Lexus Australia spokesperson told CarExpert.

“There’s been high anticipation for it because of the type of car that it is and demand for the car is exceptionally high, both overseas and locally. It’s only been on sale in Australia for one month, and we already have a really healthy order bank.

“We’re always working with our production teams in Japan to try to increase the volume of cars that we can get.”

The LBX Morizo RR swaps out the hybrid powertrain of regular LBX variants for a 1.6-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine producing 206kW of power and 390Nm of torque. Both the engine and eight-speed automatic transmission have been sourced from the related Toyota GR Corolla and GR Yaris.
