Lexus LFA Returns: This Time Fully Electric

Lexus has brought back the legendary LFA model with a new electric concept. The new LFA Concept reveals the future of the LFA with its fully electric structure and driver-focused design.

Lexus is bringing back the spirit of the legendary LFA model, but this time with a fully electric concept. Produced in a limited run of only 500 units between 2010-2012, the LFA was a legend for car enthusiasts. This return, long awaited by Lexus fans, has materialized with the new Lexus LFA Concept. However, as the word “concept” suggests, this model is not yet ready for production.

Visually, the new LFA bears a strong resemblance to the Sport Concept unveiled in Monterey this year. However, minor changes have been made to the body panels, giving it a more production-ready appearance. The dimensions have also grown compared to the previous model. With a length of 4,690 mm, a width of 2,040 mm, and a wheelbase of 2,725 mm, it points to a body that is 25 cm longer and 15 cm wider than the previous LFA.

The new LFA Concept is built on the lightweight and high-strength aluminum chassis used in the Toyota GR GT. However, while the GR GT used a twin-turbo V8 hybrid engine, the LFA Concept is fully electric. In the interior, a driver-focused, cockpit-style design has been preferred. The entire dashboard consists of screens, and there is no central multimedia screen. Aggressive details are positioned to completely envelop the driver.

Lexus has not yet announced when the production version will be on the road or what technical specifications it will come with. However, this concept offers strong clues about the new LFA’s design language and electric transformation.
