Remember the Lexus Sport concept from a couple of months ago? Well, now it has a name
0:04
and it's a big one. This is the Lexus LFA concept. This car was developed alongside Toyota Gazoo Racing's GR GT and the GR GT3, so it has the
0:17
same super exotic, super GT silhouette, but this car doesn't have a V8 under that long bonnet
0:24
Exactly what is under the skin of this car is not yet known, but we do know that it's not going
0:28
to have a V10. It won't have a petrol engine at all, in fact, but instead it will be all electric
0:34
While it might not have the V10 many hoped it might, it sounds like it does. This concept
0:39
produces a synthesised engine sound clearly based on that of the original LFA's screening 4.8 litre
0:44
V10. During the launch of the GRGT and this car's new name, Lexus said it hoped this car would
0:49
completely redefine the sound of an electric sports car. The concept that this car appears
0:54
to be based on from a few years ago came with two motors for all-wheel drive and a next-generation
0:59
battery pack. Toyota hasn't hidden the fact it's been actively working on solid-state battery tech
1:04
for years now, and signs are that this car will be the first to receive it when it's ready
1:08
Exactly how far the tech is from production isn't known, but when it finally comes to fruition
1:13
it could make the next LFA one of the most competitive performance EVs we've seen yet
1:17
It will, however, also make it one of the more expensive
