Lexus has presented the world premiere of the Lexus LFA Concept, a groundbreaking battery electric vehicle (BEV) sports car. This concept embodies Lexus\u2019 \u201cDiscover Immersion\u201d philosophy, designed to exceed customers\u2019 expectations. It shares core technologies and aspirations with Toyota Gazoo Racing\u2019s GR GT and GR GT3 while exploring the full potential of BEV sports cars.<\/p>\n
Born from the strong conviction of Toyota Motor Corporation Chairman Akio Toyoda, known as Master Driver Morizo, that certain car-making techniques and skills must be preserved and passed on to the next generation, the Lexus LFA Concept is being developed alongside the GR GT and GR GT3.<\/p>\n
Following in the footsteps of the Toyota 2000GT and Lexus LFA, this concept embodies Toyota\u2019s Shikinen Sengu principle: techniques and skills passed from car-making veterans to younger generations to be learned and evolved. While pursuing both driving performance and styling excellence, Lexus is striving in a \u201cone-team\u201d effort to create a BEV sports car that exceeds customers\u2019 expectations. Lexus intends to continue taking on the challenges of future car-making through refined electrification technologies and inherited techniques.<\/p>\n
The Lexus LFA Concept is a next-generation sports car that embodies Toyota\u2019s Shikinen Sengu principle alongside the GR GT and GR GT3. Centred on three key elements\u2014a low centre of gravity, low weight with high rigidity, and the pursuit of aerodynamic performance\u2014it shares techniques from the GR GT and GR GT3 while exploring BEV-unique potential.<\/p>\n
Lexus began with a light, high-rigidity all-aluminium body frame and an ideal driving position that enhances unity between car and driver. As a leader in vehicle electrification, Lexus has crafted a sports car fit for the electrification era, delivering driving pleasure and showcasing BEV potential. Optimal BEV packaging fuses high-level driving performance from the GR GT and GR GT3 with timeless styling for the next generation.<\/p>\n
The name \u201cLFA\u201d transcends internal combustion engines, symbolising technologies engineers must preserve and pass on. From past to future, the Lexus LFA Concept testifies to Lexus preserving sports car values and car-making knowledge for evolution.<\/p>\n
The thrill of driving remains a timeless appeal of sports cars. The Lexus LFA Concept enables deeper, purer enjoyment, drawing drivers into an unmatched immersive experience\u2014\u201cDiscover Immersion\u201d.<\/p>\n
This immersion stems from fusing aerodynamic performance with sculptural beauty. The cockpit, centred on an ideal driving position, is refined to the minutest details. Harmonious function and beauty make operation an extension of the driver\u2019s consciousness, deeply immersing them in the drive.<\/p>\n
The Lexus LFA Concept pursues refined, timeless styling. Using the GR GT\u2019s all-aluminium body frame, it maximises sports car performance. Its low, flowing nose-to-rear silhouette inherits the Lexus LFA\u2019s sculptural beauty with classic coup\u00e9 proportions. This new ideal sports car form has universal appeal, transcending nations, cultures, and time, stirring the heart.<\/p>\n
The cockpit mirrors the GR GT and GR GT3\u2019s ideal driving position, enhancing car-driver unity for unprecedented pleasure.<\/p>\n
Crafted with simplicity, functional components surround the driver, building anticipation. The sports steering wheel eliminates grip changes during turns; switches enable blind-touch operation for intuitive control. This minimalist design weaves mechanical appeal with simple space for a uniquely immersive environment.<\/p>\n
