World Debut of the Lexus LFA Electric Luxury Sports Concept
Lexus has officially unveiled the Lexus LFA Concept, an all-electric Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), for the first time globally. This debut stems from the firm conviction of Akio Toyoda, Chairman of Toyota Motor Corporation—widely known by his racing persona “Morizo”—that certain automotive craftsmanship, technologies, and skills must be preserved and passed down to future generations.
The vehicle was developed based on the principle of “Ikinen Sengu,” a traditional Japanese ritual centered on skills transmitted through generations. This represents Lexus’s commitment to not just transferring expertise, but inheriting and evolving it.
Engineering and Design Philosophy
The design of the Lexus LFA Concept is built upon three fundamental pillars:
• A low center of gravity.
• Lightweight construction with a high-rigidity body.
• A relentless pursuit of maximum aerodynamic performance.
The design team utilized advanced BEV platform development technologies, starting with a lightweight all-aluminum chassis and achieving an ideal driving position that deepens the sense of unity between driver and vehicle. The goal is clear: to deliver authentic driving pleasure and prove the true potential of electric sports cars.
The Legacy of the LFA Name
The “LFA” designation was not chosen to reference a previous generation of internal combustion engines, but rather to serve as a symbol for a model that embodies the knowledge and technology that contemporary engineers must preserve and develop for the future.
Even as eras change, driving pleasure remains a constant value. The Lexus LFA Concept offers a unique experience under the theme “Discover Immersion,” where the driver becomes fully integrated into the world of driving.
Immersive Cockpit and Aesthetic Appeal
This immersion is achieved by merging high dynamic performance with sculptural beauty. The cockpit design focuses on the finest details surrounding the ideal driving position. The steering wheel and button layout have been crafted for intuitive control, making operation a natural extension of the driver’s consciousness.
The car features a balanced design supported by the technical flexibility of electric vehicles. While the concept draws aesthetic inspiration from the original Lexus LFA, it strives for a refined visual balance that carries timeless value. By adopting the aluminum structure from the GR GT and delivering exceptional sports performance, the car maintains fluid lines from front to rear. This redefines classic coupe proportions, offering a globally appealing athletic silhouette that transcends geographical and cultural boundaries.

Lexus continues its commitment to the future of the automotive industry by combining advanced electrification technologies with inherited expertise, striving to build cars that do not just meet expectations, but exceed them.
