Lexus today globally premiered the Lexus LFA Concept, an all-electric (BEV) sports car concept that serves as a powerful testament to preserving and evolving the art of high-performance car manufacturing in the age of electrification.
Conceived from the strong conviction of Chairman Akio Toyoda (Master Driver Morizo) the LFA Concept BEV is more than a spiritual successor to the legendary Lexus LFA, it embodies “Shikinen Sengu”—a commitment to pass down and evolve essential car-making techniques from veteran engineers to the next generation.
Performance Heritage, Electric Future
The Lexus LFA Concept shared a core philosophy centered on three key elements: a low center of gravity, low weight with high rigidity, and advanced aerodynamic performance.
Lexus is accelerating its transformation into an electric brand, with a clear roadmap to offer a full lineup of BEVs across all segments. The LFA Concept demonstrates the brand’s commitment to ensuring that electrification enhances the ultimate joy of driving.
Timeless Design, BEV Potential
The LFA model name signifies a vehicle that encapsulates the technologies and knowledge engineers must preserve and pass on. The LFA Concept BEV fully utilizes the flexible packaging unique to an electric architecture to achieve a new aesthetic.
It inherits the sensual sculptural beauty of the original Lexus LFA while presenting a refined, classically coupe silhouette. This balanced styling and high-level performance aim to define a new, timeless ideal for the sports car category.
Lexus is striving, in a unified, one-team effort, to deliver a BEV sports car that exceeds customer expectations for driving performance and styling excellence.
Lexus will continue to challenge the future of car-making by fusing ever-more refined electrification technologies with inherited, irreplaceable expertise.
