The legendary Lexus LFA will be a difficult model to follow up, but Lexus says that this upcoming EV sports car will inherit the “secret sauce” from that V-10–powered supercar. That’s a heady claim, but the preliminary performance numbers that Lexus has shared are impressive: it claims this model will get to 60 mph in the “low 2 second range” and that it will use solid-state batteries to provide a driving range of around 435 miles.
We don’t yet have a name for this new model, and these images show just a concept version of its design, but it looks to be fairly close to production. Interestingly there’s no spindle grille to be seen, and the low-slung silhouette is reminiscent of the Toyota FT-1 concept that ultimately previewed the Supra.
