Default Expert Mode

I saw the ‘expert drive mode’ for the ‘24 LC500 mentioned on a Japanese press release.

It seems you engage it by putting car in Sport+ and turning off traction control? And the word ‘expert’ then pops up on screen next to sport+.

Is this new to 2024 or has it been on previous model years?

Or is it perhaps specific to the top line version (special white paint/blue interior) available in Europe?

Any help appreciated.

The only mention I see is from Lexus Europe:

It is a thing on US spec as well.

Still missing launch control, but I have a feeling that will never come due to demographic and not enough power to really warrant it given vehicle weight.
