Nice! I like the interior more than I thought I would. Do not like the Wind color. Maybe it needs some sunlight.

The brakes, wheels, and the color do look nice am still on the fence of with the patches of red inside. I feel they should have done with color stitched seats and wheel like how it was done for other special appearance package 500s.

So we all agree the only good thing about this special edition is the brakes?



Kidding, of course.

I like everything BUT the steering wheel. That looks terrible IMO.

If it makes you feel any better the wheel was inspired by the legendary LFA...same red accent

I like the color but think it will look even nicer in the sun. To edit my original take, while I prefer other colors, I think when the metallic flake is visible it makes it more interesting than colors like chalk, etc.

^^ I agree, it is exciting to see these hitting the dealers lot and we'll hopefully have better quality pics and videos soon. I am not as excited as I thought I was going to be, maybe because I love the 2026 interior so much more now. Time will tell I guess

I’m not sure if it’s because of the lighting that the photos look dull, but they look amazing on the official Lexus page.

The Wind colour reminds me of the black sesame ice cream from those Japanese barbecue shops. 😆

I’m not too sure about the suede on the seats, but there’s no backing out now. 😆

at your age, it might not be a bad thing to not get excited too much!

Going to Lexus of Bellevue for an oil change either tomorrow or Friday, will take pics of the ultimate edition they have there. I’m not a fan of the exterior color.

I wonder how difficult it may be to get the UE brake kit for non UE owners? Perhaps Lexus will only limit parts to only owners of the UE
