Lexus finally unveils the official name of its all-electric LFA Concept supercar.

Lexus moved a step closer to answering the long-standing question of whether a next-generation LFA is coming, revealing its LFA Concept BEV sports car today. The original LFA debuted nearly 20 years ago as a wild design study showcasing the brand’s new “L-Finesse” styling philosophy.

Two years later, Lexus followed up with a more developed LFA concept featuring significant engineering progress, hinting that a production model was near. That version ultimately materialized in October 2009, arriving just in time for the company’s 20th anniversary.

The LFA became a quiet phenomenon, with just 500 units hand-built at a dedicated facility within Toyota’s Motomachi plant in Aichi — the same line later used to assemble the first-generation hydrogen-powered Toyota Mirai.

Its successor appears to be following an equally winding path toward production. First unveiled as the Lexus Sport Concept at Monterey Car Week in the summer of 2025, the car later made another appearance earlier this year.

Now the Sport Concept has officially adopted the LFA name, a strong signal that a production model is on the horizon. While the original LFA was powered by a screaming V10, its successor will be a fully electric supercar. That doesn’t mean it will lose its performance edge — the new LFA is being developed alongside Toyota Gazoo Racing’s GR GT and GR GT3 programs, under the watchful eye of Toyota Motor Corporation Chairman and avid racer Akio Toyoda, who often takes to the track under his “Master Driver Morizo Kinoshita” persona

The new LFA is a sleek two-seater whose design lineage clearly traces back through the first-generation LFA to the iconic Toyota 2000GT. Its philosophy also centers on passing mechanical expertise and craftsmanship from veteran engineers to younger team members — a strong hint that, like its predecessor, the new LFA will be hand-built to order in very limited numbers.

A lightweight aluminum frame and body are set to counterbalance the mass of the battery pack, while the cockpit wraps tightly around the driver for a fully immersive feel. It remains uncertain whether the yoke-style steering wheel will reach production, but Lexus deserves credit for developing ergonomic controls designed for intuitive, “blind-touch” use

Details on performance and range are still under wraps, and production hasn’t been officially confirmed. Hopefully, we won’t have to wait too long.
