■ Lexus LFAII (scheduled to appear in 2025)
The strongest domestically produced super PHEV sports

Lexus will also prepare a super-class super sports. This is a PHEV, not an EV. It is a car that will be a revival version of the LFA, which was produced in a limited number of 500 units in two years from December 2010, and for convenience, it will be called the LFAII here.

The engine is a V8, 4L twin turbo, whose development was rumored to be temporarily frozen, and the maximum output is 720ps for the engine alone, and 950ps for the entire system.

It is said that it is aiming for a catalog model rather than a limited sale, and adopts the GA-L platform used for Lexus LC. The drive system is a transaxle type FR, and it becomes a carbon body that achieves both high rigidity and light weight.

In addition, the LFA II is being developed at the same time as the GT3 race car, and the GT3 car is the "GR GT3 Concept" that was unveiled for the first time at this year's Tokyo Auto Salon. It seems to be a pure gasoline engine car that meets the race rules, but there is a possibility that it will be a PHEV like the LFA II, depending on future changes in the rules.

The body size of the LFAII is expected to be around 4600mm in length, 1950mm in width and 1200mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. It will appear in 2025, and the price is likely to be in the 40 million to 50 million yen class.

Great another car only the top 10% can afford. Just what we need. But it’s nice for the top money makers.
On a slightly different note what a lot of people have criticized Toyota about is that they spent all of their time and money on expensive niche products that few people can afford but outsourced more attainable sports cars to the likes of BMW and Subaru.

It doesn't have to be an either-or scenario. They could have shared platforms and drivetrains from the LC and LS to build a new Supra with.

I really like the styling cues of this concept car. I think the overall shape is very reminiscent of the A80 Supra. I have read a number of comments and postings on various online platforms echoing the same sentiment.
