The Toyota 2000GT was a legend as a supercar in its time (the 1960s) and 45 years later, the Lexus LFA was equally legendary. Only 500 units were ever made, between December 2010 and December 2012. In due course (around 2029), there will be a new LFA and this time, it won’t have a limited production run.

As a preview of what to expect, Toyota has revealed the Lexus LFA Concept which is the basis of a future supercar from the brand. Technical details are few at this time but it’s clear that, unlike its V10 predecessor, the new LFA will be fully electric, replicating the original’s hyper-focused performance spirit in the electric age.
