The mega-powered EV successor to the venerable LexusUK LFA edges closer to reality
The concept is described as"a battery-EV sports car which inherits the driving taste, or the 'secret sauce', of the performance cultivated via the development of the LFA".
Experience gained from developing this car will extend to other future Lexus EVs as part of a drive to emphasise the Japanese brand's dynamic focus. "The endless pursuit of the Lexus driving signature will move to the next stage through development of the new sports battery EV," said Lexus's chief branding officer, Koji Sato. It will be a model, he said, that"symbolises the future of the brand". The supercar concept has been earmarked as a possible early recipient of solid-state batteries, which parent company Toyota recently revealed plans to install in production EVs from the middle of the decade.
Before that, however, the firm will deploy solid-state batteries in hybrid cars, which will allow it to"test and evaluate the technology" before rolling it out to pure-electric equivalents.
