Lexus Unveils Sport Concept at Monterey Car Week Hinting at LFA Successor

The concept’s Goodwood-inspired styling with an absence of tailpipes fuels speculation of an electrified powertrain for Lexus’s next sports flagship.

Overview

  • Lexus introduced the Sport Concept at Monterey Car Week and framed it as a “vision for a next-generation sports car” without confirming its name, powertrain or production timeline.
  • Its design evolves cues from camouflaged Goodwood prototypes, featuring a continuous front light and grille signature, a roof-mounted tailfin and racing-style camera mirrors.
  • An N-shaped rear light bar and performance-focused diffuser sit beneath a triangular rear motif that nods to the LFA’s exhaust layout, hinting at successor ambitions.
  • The concept’s lack of visible exhaust outlets aligns with the 2021 Electrified Sport preview, driving speculation that the production model will employ an electric powertrain.
  • Industry sources anticipate the new supercar, possibly christened LFR, to debut later this decade even as Lexus refrains from finalizing its official moniker or technical specifications.
