Overview
- Lexus unveiled the LFA Concept as a battery‑electric supercar study, reviving the LFA name for its first electric sports model.
- The concept was previously shown as the Lexus Sport Concept at Monterey Car Week and the Japan Mobility Show before being renamed for this presentation.
- Lexus positions the car as a technical and emotional preview of a next‑generation EV sports car, with no battery or performance figures released yet.
- The manufacturer says a battery‑electric LFA is planned from 2027, and notes construction commonalities with Toyota’s GR GT, including an aluminum structure aimed at low mass and a low center of gravity.
- Toyota detailed the related GR GT with a front‑mounted 4.0‑liter twin‑turbo V8 plus hybrid module delivering over 478 kW and 850 Nm and a quoted top speed above 320 km/h, underscoring parallel ICE/hybrid and BEV paths.
