Lexus reveals all-electric concepts including LFA-inspired sports car Lexus reveals all-electric concepts including LFA-inspired sports car
Lexus has revealed its electric future, with a showcase of incoming battery electric models that will form the backbone of its range in the coming years. This push towards BEV development has come alongside a wider announcement by sister brand Toyota about its electrification plans moving forward, and in both cases there is news of exciting high performance models.
Lexus’s plans are highlighted by a new high-performance all-electric sports car, with bold proportions and a low ride height. Designed to follow in the philosophical footsteps of the LFA supercar, the new sports car will be a halo product for both Toyota and Lexus and will form a test bed for innovations in battery development, such as solid state technology.
Toyota president Mr Toyoda confirmed that, before then, the new sports car will utilise lithium-ion battery tech and is targeting an acceleration time to 62mph in the low-2sec zone along with a range of 434 miles. The concept car shown also previews the next-generation design language that will debut in these new models, confirming that despite an electric powertrain, the coupe will share its classic sports car proportions of a long bonnet and cab-rear layout with the LFA.
