Lexus has released new images of the Electrified Sport, an upcoming LFA-inspired, all-electric supercar that is one of the seven electric vehicles (EVs) it announced last December.
While giving a better look at its EV sedan and SUV prototypes, the company did not reveal much technical information other than what was already known — that the commercial version of Electrified Sport will have a range of 700 km and will accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in the low two-second range.
It is unclear when the finished product will be released or whether it will include solid-state batteries, a technology that Toyota is already working on.
Electrified Sport’s Design
Meanwhile, supercar fans can only admire the Electrified Sport’s unique design. It’s a low-slung two-door coupe, similar to the LFA, but with a more GR Supra-like profile and a more accentuated cab rear.
A ferocious front end with the brand’s signature arrow-shaped daytime running lights (DRLs) bisects the two-element headlamps positioned within what appear to be air intakes on the sides of the bumper.
Further down, a distinct splitter and massive air ducts can be seen, the latter of which appears to work with the vents on the bonnet, which also have quick releases.
The cockpit has a twin bubble roof and a unique line connecting the air exits aft of the front wheels to small inlets above the curved body’s rear haunches.
More aero trickery can be found beneath some extremely high doors, with air channels leading to strips in front of the rear wheels.
Rearward, the spectacular wheel arches and decklid frame the almost teardrop-shaped cabin, adding to the aesthetic flair.
Quick releases can also be seen at the vents above the Lexus lettering, which is accompanied by taillights with a complex light signature that matches the bonnet. The front is also mirrored by two massive air ducts and a trailing diffuser piece.
