This Lexus Electric Sportscar gives us a glimpse of what the Japanese brand is up to. Will it be as cool as the iconic Lexus LFA?

Late last year, Toyota held a press briefing detailing its electrification plans. Along with the press release came a photograph of an entire assortment of electric car concepts, all looking pretty far along the development process.

It was quite a startling announcement from the brand, which could be accused of lagging behind when it came to electrifying its future product lines. It wasn’t just Toyota in the mix either, with a few of the cars featuring the distinct Lexus logo.

Now the luxury arm from Japan has shared a bit more info on one of the prettier and more interesting of the electric car concepts.

Officially, the new Lexus Electric Sportscar will form part of a new line-up of electrified vehicles which will launch by 2030. There are some interesting nuggets of information amongst the fluff, like “…increase the joy of driving for all of its customers.” That sounds promising!

Lexus does make mention of arguably the most iconic vehicle to come from its stable and says this new model ” symbolises the future of the Lexus brand while also reviving the spirit of the iconic Lexus LFA.”

Performance stats look impressive, with a 0-100 kph claimed sprint time in the low 2-second bracket and a cruising range of over 700 km. Solid-state battery technology has been mentioned, but let’s see how feasible they are.

The Lexus Electric Sportscar is one of three BEVs coming from Japan in the next few years. There will also be the Lexus RZ 450 e, which is the brand’s first fully electric vehicle as well as the Sedan Carousel, which is an electrified sedan.
