Overview

  • Lexus revealed the two-door Sport Concept at The Quail during Monterey Car Week with only a brief press statement and a short video that captures an audible engine rumble.
  • Observers note the concept’s styling merges cues from the 2021 Electrified Sport and the LFA, indicating a cohesive new design language for upcoming coupes.
  • Media coverage distinguishes the Sport Concept from Toyota-badged LFR/GR GT3–linked prototypes and views it as a potential successor to the retiring LC and RC models.
  • Japanese outlets and spy photos associate the concept with a front-engine, rear-drive platform shared with the next Toyota Supra and speculate on hybrid powertrains.
  • Neither Lexus nor Toyota has confirmed any powertrain specifics, performance figures, interior appointments or a production timetable for the Sport Concept.
