Lexus Is Developing An All-Electric Supercar To Replace The LFA By 2030

Lexus is working on an electric supercar that will be the spiritual successor to the LFA and will be available in 2030. The new vehicle will be one of the EVs offered by Lexus as it transitions to phasing out combustion engines. It was first revealed as a concept as part of the introduction of 15 new Toyota and Lexus EV concepts. 

Pictures from various angles have been released by the brand, allowing the public to get a complete picture of the product. By 2030, Lexus will provide an EV in every segment, and by 2035, it will only sell electric cars in China, Europe, and North America, with ICE car sales ending entirely.

As part of a push to emphasize the Japanese brand's sporty orientation, the knowledge acquired from designing this car will be used on other future Lexus EVs. Lexus is aiming for a 0-62mph time of under 2 seconds and a range of over 435 miles.

The supercar concept has been identified as a potential adopter of solid-state batteries, which Toyota has announced plans to use in manufacturing EVs by the middle of the decade. However, the company will first use solid-state batteries in hybrid vehicles, allowing it to test the innovation before expanding it to pure-electric vehicles.

The design has no connection to any Lexus model already on the market, with a tall bonnet creating a distinct cab-rear appearance. With low-profile tires, a visible aerodynamics kit, huge air intakes, and a red tow strap at the front, it's definitely a harsh statement.
