The all-electric Lexus LFA Concept is heading to Australia for the first time, where it will be displayed at the Melbourne Cup Carnival. While the appearance is only a concept showcase, reports suggest the battery-powered supercar could eventually reach production,…
The Lexus LFA is one of the strangest and most wonderful stories in modern car history. Toyota spent roughly a decade developing it, switching mid-project from aluminum to carbon-fiber construction, and when it finally went on sale in 2010, it cost about $375,000 and reportedly lost money on every example. Just 500 were built through 2012. What buyers got was a front-engine supercar with a 4.8-liter V10 that revved past 9,000 rpm and a sound, tuned with help from Yamaha's musical expertise, that many consider the best of any road car.
At launch, critics questioned the price and the slow-shifting single-clutch transmission. Over time, the LFA's reputation soared. Owners and journalists praised its handling, the precision of its engineering and that unforgettable soundtrack, and a Nurburgring Package of 50 cars added aero and track focus. Values have climbed far beyond the original price, and low-mileage examples now command serious money at auction. It remains the halo car that proved Lexus could build a world-class performance machine.
The LFA name has returned on an all-electric concept, developed alongside Toyota's new GR GT flagship, that has made public appearances including a dynamic run at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Whether it becomes a production car, and how an electric LFA can honor the V10 original, are open questions. Coverage here includes concept news, collector-market sales, auctions, reviews and Lexus's plans for its next generation of performance flagships, including the GR GT it was developed alongside.
The Lexus V10 supercar of 2010, just 500 built and tuned to scream like a race car, now reborn as an all-electric concept developed with Toyota's GR GT.
