THE ALL-NEW LEXUS LFR: THE UPDATE LFA

   

     

      

To all the fans of the Lexus LFA out there, Toyota or Lexus has given them a chance to redeem themselves with the new or teased Lexus LFR, which is expected to feature the GR Badge. It will also feature a track-friendly version, the GT3. It is mostly going to be a hybrid. For the car enthusiast, the combustion engine is expected to feature a twin-turbo V8 that will produce a whopping 900 horsepower, more than enough to haul your groceries. Long bonnet, rearward-cockpit layout, sharp front end, large vents, aggressive aero in GT3 version (large wing, big front splitter, large diffusers, etc.) aim to make the look super aggressive. The road car has a more modest wing/spoiler (“ducktail” style) but still has very sporty design bits. The price has not been disclosed, but experts say that it will hit the prices of super-hybrids. This car will give you the thrill of driving a supercar without compromising the well-known Lexus luxury. Rumors say the GT3 version might aim for ~1,300 kg (curb weight) or so to comply with GT3 rules, while the weight of the non-GT3 model has not been disclosed. It is also very likely that this model is intended to succeed or replace some of Lexus’s high-performance models, like RC F / LC500, in certain markets. Debuts are expected in late 2025 (December 4) for teasers and further reveals at the Japan Mobility Show; actual sales/production is likely 2026 or possibly model year 2027. The GT3 racing version is targeted for racing from 2026.
