The Lexus LFA was like a shooting star\u2014bright and beautiful, but it burned out quickly. Production lasted just two years, from 2010 to 2012, with a scant 500 units finding homes worldwide. Since then, fans have been begging Lexus to bring back its beloved LFA. Well, today\u2019s the day.<\/p>\n
This is the new Lexus LFA Concept, the first Lexus to wear an LFA<\/a> badge since 2012. Unfortunately, it\u2019s not ready for production, as the word “concept” indicates. Even more disappointing is what\u2019s under the hood\u2014or, what\u2019s not under the hood.<\/p>\n We\u2019re sad to report that there\u2019s no screaming V-10 with a 9,500 RPM redline, there\u2019s no Yamaha soundtrack; only batteries. That\u2019s right, the new LFA concept is fully electric, and Lexus won\u2019t even go so far as to share any performance or battery configuration details. This is still very much a concept.<\/p>\n The company does attempt to justify its electric powertrain, saying: “The model name ‘LFA’ is not bound to vehicles powered by internal combustion engines. It symbolizes a vehicle that embodies technologies its engineers should preserve and pass on to the next generation.”<\/p>\n Marketing jargon aside, there are a few things we can glean from this debut. Most importantly, the LFA concept is built around a new lightweight, high-rigidity aluminium chassis. It\u2019s the same chassis that also debuted today on the production Toyota GR GT and GT3 race car. Only the Toyota model gets a twin-turbo V-8 hybrid, not batteries.<\/p>\n Visually, the new LFA does look nearly identical to the Sport Concept that showed up earlier this year in Monterey. The body panels are basically the same, with a few minor tweaks here and there that make it look more production-ready. Given that not much has changed (or other than the name), there\u2019s reason to believe that the upcoming production version won\u2019t stray far from this final concept.<\/p>\n Size-wise, the LFA concept is 185.6 inches long (4,690 millimeters), 80.3 inches wide (2,040 mm), and it has a wheelbase of 107.3 inches (2,725 mm). That means this new LFA is about 10 inches longer than its predecessor (177.4 inches) and more than six inches wider (74.6 inches). It\u2019s big.<\/p>\n Photos by: Lexus<\/p>\n We\u2019ve already seen some of the interior, but Lexus gives us an in-depth look at the LFA\u2019s cabin here. It features a cockpit-like design with aggressive detailing that wraps around the driver. In place of a tactile instrument cluster is a cluster of screens, with no central infotainment screen to note.<\/p>\n There\u2019s still plenty we don\u2019t know about what the production version will look like\u2014or when it will even show up\u2014but this concept gives us a good idea of what\u2019s to come. Batteries and all.<\/p>\n Lexus F Models May Be in Trouble<\/a> The Lexus LFA was like a shooting star\u2014bright and beautiful, but it burned out quickly.
