After more than a decade of waiting, Lexus has officially revived one of its most legendary names with the unveiling of the new LFA Concept. The original Lexus LFA, produced between 2010 and 2012 in only 500 units worldwide, became an instant icon thanks to its naturally aspirated V10 engine, 9,500 rpm redline, and unforgettable exhaust note developed with Yamaha. Now, however, Lexus is taking a completely different approach by introducing the new LFA as a fully electric supercar concept. While this shift has surprised many longtime fans, it clearly reflects the brand’s vision for the future of high-performance vehicles.
At this stage, Lexus has not released any official performance figures, battery capacity, driving range, or acceleration data for the electric LFA Concept. The company has emphasized that the LFA name is no longer tied exclusively to internal combustion engines, but instead represents the highest level of engineering, innovation, and driving performance the brand can offer. One of the key technical highlights revealed so far is the use of a newly developed lightweight, high-rigidity aluminum chassis. This same platform also underpins the new Toyota GR GT race car, though that model will feature a twin-turbo V8 hybrid powertrain instead of full electrification.
In terms of design, the LFA Concept closely resembles the Lexus sports car concept shown earlier this year at the Monterey Car Week. Its aggressive body lines, oversized air intakes, low-slung stance, and muscular rear end clearly signal its supercar intentions. Dimensionally, the new LFA is significantly larger than its predecessor, measuring 185.6 inches in length, 80.3 inches in width, and riding on a 107.3-inch wheelbase. This increase in size suggests improved stability and a stronger road presence.
Inside, the LFA Concept adopts a highly futuristic, cockpit-style interior focused entirely around the driver. Traditional physical gauges have been replaced by fully digital displays, and unlike many modern vehicles, there is no large central infotainment screen dominating the dashboard. Instead, the layout prioritizes direct driver engagement and immersion. Although Lexus has yet to confirm when or if a production version will arrive, the LFA Concept clearly previews the brand’s ambitions in the electric supercar segment and signals a bold new chapter for the iconic nameplate.
