TOKYO: Lexus recently held a world premiere for the LFA Concept ― a battery electric vehicle (BEV) sports car concept.
The Lexus LFA concept is being developed alongside the new Toyota Gazoo Racing's GR GT and GR GT3.
Featuring the same ideal driving position as the GR GT and GR GT3, the immersive cockpit enhances the sense of car-driver unity.
The entire interior has been crafted with simplicity, with refined functional components concentrated around the driver's seat.
Its steering operation eliminates the need for regripping with a different hand.
The LFA concept pursues a refined styling balance of timeless value.
Basing it on the all-aluminum body frame of the GR GT has resulted in a form that maximises sports car performance.
Yet its low, flowing nose-to-rear silhouette inherits the Lexus LFA's sculptural beauty while defining the proportions of a classic coupe.
The LFA concept is a next-generation sports car concept model that embodies, along with the GR GT and GR GT3, "Toyota's Shikinen Sengu".
It is centreed on the three key elements of a low centre of gravity, low weight with high rigidity, and the pursuit of aerodynamic performance.
It has a light, high-rigidity all-aluminum body frame and offers an ideal driving position that enhances a sense of car-driver unity and ease of handling.
