Lexus unveiled the LFA Concept, an electric supercar study meant to show that a BEV can be not only quick but truly driver-focused. The project stems from Akio Toyoda’s (Morizo) idea to preserve and pass on the engineering skills and approaches behind cult sports cars. That is why the LFA Concept is being developed in parallel with Toyota Gazoo Racing’s GR GT and GR GT3, guided by Toyota’s Shikinen Sengu philosophy—evolve the legacy rather than merely inherit it. The brief is ambitious, yet the intent feels clear.According to the plan, the supercar revolves around three principles: a low center of gravity, low mass with high rigidity, and painstaking aerodynamics. Lexus emphasizes a BEV-specific layout and a lightweight aluminum frame, plus an optimized seating position meant to heighten the sense of unity with the car and make control feel intuitive. On paper, those priorities land squarely where a purist’s supercar should.Another focal point is Discover Immersion, aimed at putting the driver fully in the moment. The cockpit is intentionally minimalist: key controls are concentrated around the driver, while steering feel and button placement are set up for use without looking, minimizing distractions. If executed well, this approach can make the technology fade into the background.By size, the LFA Concept reads as a classic two-seat coupe: length 4,690 mm, width 2,040 mm, height 1,195 mm, with a 2,725 mm wheelbase. Lexus promises a sports car for the electric era with a shape that resists time and a personality intended to be worthy of the legendary LFA badge. If the production reality matches the mission statement, the initials will feel right at home on an EV.
