Lexus re-displayed the LFA Concept, now confirmed as a pure EV successor to the V10 icon. Co-developed with GR GT/GT3, the show car rides on a 2,725 mm aluminium space-frame, measures 4,690 mm long, 1,195 mm high and 2,040 mm wide, and blends aero function with LFA-style sculptural cues. The yoke steering, configurable boost/brake maps and immersive cockpit preview a production model expected in 2026.
