Lexus to revive the LFA nameplate for its next Electric Supercar, could use Solid-State Batteries.

Lexus will be utilizing its legendary LFA nameplate to brand its upcoming electric supercar, which will be taking inspiration from recently introduced V8-powered Toyota GR GT. Lexus has also showcased its future BEV super-GT with the Sport Concept in August 2025.

The LFA nameplate got its iconic popularity from the V10-powered supercar, widely acclaimed for its greatest-sounding engines ever. Nonetheless, the company states, "The LFA model name will be the driving force behind electric supercars, which are still considered a concept at this stage and will be developed in conjunction with Toyota GR GT, powered by a mighty 650 Hp V8 engine. 

New Lexus LFA Design & Interiors

The electric LFA will be underpinned by aluminum-intensive chassis alongside the Toyota supercar which will be further benefited by packaging of the EV powertrain. The design will be totally futuristic with a sophisticated cockpit that will be heavily powered by digital functionalities. 

The electric LFA will also feature race-car inspired steering ‘Yoke’ which suggests that LFA will be using the same steer-by-wire technology that Lexus provided to the RZ. 

According to Lexus, the electric LFA will be 4,690 mm long, 2,040 mm wide, and 1,195 mm high, with an enhanced wheelbase of 2,725 mm. 

New Lexus LFA could be powered by Solid-State Batteries

However, the company has not revealed the exact technical specifications for this electric two-seater sportscar. However, Toyota could add their first solid-state battery in a high performance EV in around two years, and Lexus LFA is most likely the preferred car to feature it. 

Toyota states that high-performance solid-state batteries can generate double the power of current-generation EV batteries and can provide longer range, while being compact in size and taking up less space, thus making the batteries well optimised for tightly packaged high-performance models. 

The company thinks that launching them is quite expensive as low-seater LFA would help Toyota to allocate development costs before this technology is implemented in its mainstream cars. Currently, the company is just revising its strategy and no exact launch timeline is decided for the new Lexus LFA, unlike the V8-powered car.
