US EditionLexus Commits to Electric LFA Successor
Lexus aims to revive the LFA legacy with an electric concept based on the Toyota GR GT platform and may showcase solid-state battery technology before 2030.
- On Wednesday, Lexus unveiled the LFA Concept just outside Fuji, Japan at Toyota's Woven City, confirming it is electric and renamed from the Lexus Sport Concept.
- The LFA name carries special significance as Lexus positions the electric flagship to showcase Toyota Motor Corporation's electrification strategy, reflecting Akio Toyoda's directive to evolve vehicle-development skills.
- Built on the GR GT base, the LFA Concept measures 185.6 inches long, 80.3 inches wide with a 107.3-inch wheelbase and uses Toyota's first high-rigidity aluminum spaceframe.
- Lexus says production timing is unconfirmed, but the LFA could serve as a halo EV showcasing solid-state batteries and rivaling the gas-powered GR GT3's performance.
- The LFA Concept could debut in the coming years as Toyota plans commercial solid-state batteries this decade, aiming for the technology before 2030.
