The eagle’s eyes, the new concept of Lexus Games may look familiar. And I don’t mean people who have released many spy photos and rendering of both the upcoming road and racing version. This new car – which we and other LFRs are calling – LC and LFA have a lot, of course, but also the concept of electric sports since 2021.
But this new car will have gas power. So what happened to the EV?
The Lexus power -powered game began in December 2021, when Toyota unveiled several EV concepts. Its long-term, small-deck ratio screaming front engine reader drive sports car, but Lexus said it is a pure EV, in which solid state batteries promise 435 miles and a sub-2 seconds 0-60 miles per hour.
However, since 2021, the popular emotions around electric cars have changed. Their growth has slowed, and many car makers – in Tueta, have surpassed their EV ambitions.

At that time, Lexus said it would make an EV sports car. “Lexus will produce the next -generation battery EV sports car, which inherits the driving taste, or the secret sauce, which will develop the next -generation battery, which will develop the performance of the LFA.”
So far, the company has not said whether it has completely canceled the project. But there is no doubt that the new concept of sports uses many design indicators like 2021 EVs.
Overall proportions are the same, but Lexus has also advanced specific details, too: widespread open front intake with distribution in the center. In the previous bodywork, LFA Uping C Pylon and Cuties. The entire width light bar in the previous section; Cuts in hood; Double bubble roof; And more.
Both cars are not the same, but they were cut off with the same cloth.

We know that this new lexus concept predicts a production car with Toyota twins. In 2022, Toyota launched the concept of GRGT3, which is a low sling, front engine, rear drive race car design that has a lot of engine (possibly, a twin turbo V-8). An official confirmed the lexus version of the car in 2022, which the lexus version expected for the United States, and the Toyota version targeted other markets.
A Lexus spokesperson did to both concepts, if any, refused to comment. If you allow us to speculate a little, it is not difficult to imagine that Toyota has canceled the Lexus EV sports car, because it seems that such a thing is not a market.
But with the concept of power sports, Lexus had at least a good design for the internal compassion sports car that would eventually come. In addition, there is a possibility that production road car can be hybrid to counter new, power offers from AMG, Porsche and Corneet.
But for now, at least, it appears that an all -electric lexus sports car will have to wait.
