Lexus's booth at Auto China 2026 in Beijing, China, featured the LFA EV Concept at its center. This new LFA concept boasts an all-electric architecture and a lightweight chassis. It serves as a technological successor to the original LFA (2010-2012).
The LFA Concept's exterior features a striking design befitting an electric era sports car, achieving high performance through aerodynamics. It emphasizes a low center of gravity, a lightweight structure, and high rigidity. The LFA Concept utilizes an aluminum alloy chassis, sharing its platform with the Toyota GR GT/GR GT3.

The LFA Concept measures 4,690 mm in length, 2,040 mm in width, and 1,195 mm in height, with a 2,725 mm wheelbase. Its overall dimensions are larger than its predecessor, the LFA. Rear highlights include air vents, an active spoiler, a full-width taillight strip, and race-car-style brake lights integrated into the rear bumper. The interior features a simple design, with functional components centered around the driver's seat. A racing-inspired steering wheel and controls are designed for intuitive operation.
Unlike the first generation LFA, which boasted a V10 engine with a maximum 9,500 rpm and a Yamaha-tuned exhaust note, the new LFA Concept foregoes the internal combustion engine in favor of an electric powertrain. Lexus states that the new LFA Concept accelerates from 0-100 km/h in under 2 seconds and offers an estimated range of 700 km.
According to Lexus, the LFA name, which stands for Lexus Future Advance, is no longer exclusive to internal combustion engine vehicles. Instead, it represents vehicles showcasing technologies that contemporary engineers must preserve and pass on to future generations.
