Lexus LFA Electric Revival: The 2026 All-Electric Supercar Concept
The legendary Lexus LFA is making a dramatic return—not with its iconic Yamaha-tuned V10 scream, but as a fully electric supercar concept unveiled in December 2025.
Officially named the Lexus LFA Concept, this battery-electric vehicle previews the second-generation LFA, sharing core architecture with the Toyota GR GT and GR GT3 while exploring the unique potential of EVs. Lexus positions it as a spiritual successor to the original LFA and Toyota 2000GT, embodying “Shikinen Sengu”—preserving and evolving master craftsmanship for the electrification era.
Production is confirmed, with arrivals expected around 2027-2029 (potentially badged as 2028/2029 models). It promises to “redefine the sound of an electric sports car” through engineered audio, targeting emotional engagement without fake engine noise.
Design: Timeless Proportions Meet EV Aero
The LFA Concept evolves from the 2021 Electrified Sport and 2025 Sport Concept, featuring a low-slung coupe silhouette with a long hood, short deck, and flowing lines. Key elements include slim headlights, a wide stance, and aerodynamic optimizations for efficiency. It shares an all-aluminum spaceframe with the GR GT for lightweight rigidity and low center of gravity.
Interior: Immersive and Driver-Centric
The cockpit prioritizes “immersion” with a yoke-style wheel, high-definition cocooning displays, and minimalist controls. Low seating enhances unity with the car; premium, sustainable materials dominate.
Performance: Electric Thrills with Ferrari-Rivaling Pace
Full-electric powertrain (details pending) likely features advanced batteries (possibly solid-state) for mega horsepower and sub-3-second 0-60 mph times. It aims for Nürburgring dominance and emotional sound amplification from motors.
Why It’s a Bold Revival
Lexus embraces electrification while honoring the LFA’s legacy of innovation. Unlike the gas/hybrid GR GT sibling, this EV pushes boundaries in sound, immersion, and performance—proving supercars can evolve silently. Priced in the high six figures and limited, it targets exclusivity. The wait continues, but this concept signals an electrifying future for Lexus flagships. ⚡🏁
