Toyota officially unveiled two next-generation high-performance supercars—the hybrid Toyota GR GT and the all-electric second-generation Lexus LFA. The premiere took place at the Tokyo Motor Show, where both cars were shown as pre-production concepts. However, the Japanese automaker has confirmed that mass production is scheduled for 2027.

The supercars are being developed by the Gazoo Racing sports division, and the first technical details have been published on Toyota’s official website.

The Toyota GR GT is the brand’s first full-fledged supercar and the fastest Toyota in history

The New 2027 Lexus LFA—A Next-Generation Electric Supercar

From Internal Combustion Engine to Electric: A Shift in Philosophy

The second-generation Lexus LFA is built on the Toyota GR GT platform, but it is now a fully electric supercar based on the Lexus Sport concept.

The manufacturer is keeping the exact specifications under wraps for now, but has already stated:

• the new version will be more powerful and faster than the previous LFA (552 l. s., 325 km/h);

• the top speed will exceed 300 km/h;

• its performance will be on par with top-tier electric supercars.

Lexus has retained the elegance and premium style, but has made the coupe lower to the ground and more streamlined.

Features:

Dimensions of the 2027 Lexus LFA:

• length — 4,690 mm
