Lexus Confirms Next-Generation LFA Will Be Fully Electric With Supercar-Level Performance

By bike_ev_admin December 6, 2025 3 min read

After years of rumors and concept teasers, Lexus has officially confirmed that the next-generation LFA successor will be an all-electric supercar. Initially shown as the “Sport Concept,” the vehicle is now recognized as the foundation for Lexus’s future flagship EV, bringing the iconic LFA nameplate into the battery-electric era.

A Spiritual Successor to the Legendary V10 LFA

The original Lexus LFA earned its reputation through a high-revving, naturally aspirated V10 and an unmistakable exhaust note. Its successor will take an entirely different approach, replacing combustion power with instant-torque, high-output electric motors.

While Lexus has not disclosed final horsepower, torque, or battery specifications, engineers hint at:

0–60 mph in the low 2-second range
Performance designed to exceed traditional supercar benchmarks
A focus on using EV-specific capabilities such as torque vectoring and instant power delivery

The company promises acceleration and responsiveness that will place the electric LFA among the world’s most capable high-performance EVs.

Shared Architecture With Toyota’s GR GT Family

The electric LFA successor is being developed in parallel with Toyota’s upcoming GR GT and the GR GT3 race car, indicating a shared engineering philosophy and structural components.

Key platform details include:

All-aluminum architecture
Large megacast suspension nodes at each corner
107.3-inch wheelbase, identical to the GR GT
Overall length: 184.6 inches
Width: 80.3 inches
Height: 47 inches

The dimensions emphasize a low center of gravity and a wide stance, essential for stability at extreme speeds.

Positioning and Expected Pricing

A production version is still several years away, with the GR GT expected to arrive first in late 2026. Lexus openly states that the electric LFA will carry a high six-figure price tag, placing it well above mainstream EV performance models.

For context:

The GR GT is rumored to approach $500,000
The LFA badge typically commands an even higher premium

This next-gen LFA is positioned as a halo model rather than a high-volume product.

Interior: Minimalist, Driver-Focused, and Futuristic

Lexus previewed the interior at the Tokyo Auto Show. It features:

A minimal, purpose-built cockpit
A large driver display delivering real-time performance data
New yoke-style steering, optimized for minimal hand movement
Simple, functional switchgear
A rotary gear selector
“F-Mode” and Custom drive-function paddles

Steer-by-wire technology appears likely, enabling rapid steering response and customizable feedback.

Driving Philosophy: “Discover Immersion”

Lexus describes the vehicle’s mission as maximizing driver immersion through:

A very low center of gravity
A highly rigid chassis
Predictable handling
Direct, EV-specific performance characteristics

The focus is on creating a supercar that feels connected, intuitive, and capable of exploiting electric propulsion in ways combustion engines cannot.

A New Era for Lexus Performance

The first LFA pushed the limits of internal combustion. Its electric successor aims to demonstrate the full potential of BEVs at the highest level of performance. Lexus acknowledges the emotional gap left by the absence of the V10 soundtrack, but promises a new kind of thrill built around instant torque, extreme acceleration, and cutting-edge vehicle dynamics.

If Lexus can deliver a driving experience worthy of the LFA name, this electric supercar could become one of the most significant performance EVs of the decade.
