Lexus has unveiled the LFA Concept, a battery-electric sports car that carries forward the legacy of the iconic original LFA. Developed alongside Toyota Gazoo Racing’s GR GT and GR GT3 programs, this concept embodies what the brand calls “Toyota’s Shikinen Sengu”—a commitment to preserving traditional car-making techniques while evolving them for the next generation. Built on a lightweight, high-rigidity all-aluminum frame, the LFA Concept combines the sculptural beauty of its predecessor with cutting-edge EV technology, pursuing a low center of gravity, optimized aerodynamics, and a timeless design intended to stir the hearts of enthusiasts worldwide.

Switch placement follows a similarly intentional approach, with controls positioned to enable blind-touch operation. This layout allows drivers to make adjustments instinctively, keeping their eyes on the road and their attention fully engaged.
