Securing the deck - with a wing
Lexus engineers have also found a way to allow LC500 owners to increase the rear-axle downforce on their cars. This large spoiler is affixed to the car's rear deck area and shaped with the best TRD motorsport principles in mind. It looks purposeful - because it works. Using the aft deck area airflow, to pressure some additional downforce on those rear wheels, aiding tracking stability - at high speeds.

Tricking out the rear
The last bits of optional TRD trickery on offer is a rear diffuser and new wheel designs.

For the 2021 model year, Lexus is also offering three new 21-inch alloy wheel designs, which are both lighter and stronger, than those which have been available before.
