JAKARTA - The Lexus LFA is a flagship supercar ever produced by the luxury car manufacturer Lexus. Reportedly, Lexus is developing a successor of the LFA.

According to leaks, its initial successor, the Lexus LFA, will be a plug-in hybrid and after that it will be a fully electric vehicle.

Well, this circulating leak is exactly the opposite of what was said by the President of Toyota Motor Corp, Koji Sata. Previously, he said that the successor to the LFA would be a fully electric car, which is certainly one of the visions of Lexus to produce fully electric cars in the future.

Quoted from Carscoops, Monday, March 13, the platform used in this Lexus LFA is the TNGA GA-L with a lightweight aluminum chassis and carbon fiber body. With a lightweight platform, it is believed that it will support the need for engine power and is good for car performance.

Another leak regarding the engine reviewed by BestCarWeb, differs from its predecessor which uses a V10 engine, the LFA successor will launch with a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 which is apparently capable of producing 710 hp. Even the car is also equipped with an electric motor, and is capable of producing a combined power of up to 937 hp.

Then, if the specifications are correct, the Lexus LFA, which is likely to launch in 2025 or 2026, will be a formidable car to compete with the Ferrari SF90 Stradale and the Lamborghini Aventador hybrid successor which is also being prepared.
