Lexus Electric Hypercar Officially Teased With LFA Secret Sauce

Ha, that concept looks like it was from 20 years before the LFA was released.

It was only 7 years apart according to the wiki. A lot can change, it's true.

edit: Wasn't the LFA the one where they ended up building a factory to produce all the carbon fiber dedicated for it? or was it just a small operation?

The LF-LC Concept was VERY close to the production LC. I could see Toyota pulling this off if they want to. The LFA is not a good example since it was one of the longest vehicles in development (for good reason).

Nice leather and some carbon fiber? Every car will be 0-60 in 2 seconds soon enough. So how will these super/hyper EVs really set themselves apart?

Rimac is based on a carbon fiber monocoque.

Looks great but will sound like a spin bike. No LFA secret sauce to be found.

Too bad.

Love the sedan. Hope they keep this design for the production model.
