Demonstration of the concept car "Electrified Sport"

Lexus will hold the "Goodwood Festival of Speed" in the UK from June 23rd to June 26th, 2023 to announce the concept car "Electrified Sport Concept".

The Electrified Sport debuted at the "Battery EV Strategy Briefing" held by Toyota on December 14, 2021. The concept car was exhibited at "MEGA WEB" (now closed) in Odaiba, Tokyo from December 16th to December 20th. This is the first time it has been exhibited outside of Japan.

Aiming to go public, is developing step by step?

The Electrified Sport is a next-generation battery EV to be released by Toyota in December 2021, and is the successor to the "LFA" previously sold by Lexus.

The price and launch date have not yet been announced. According to information such as "0-100km/h in more than 2 seconds" and "cruising range of more than 700km", it is speculated that it has extremely high performance whether as a sports car or a battery electric vehicle.

Lexus said: "In the future, it will develop a battery-type EV sports car that inherits the accumulated technology since the manufacture of LFA and produces a "secret formula". The Electrified Sport is a prototype flagship coupe.

"See you next year", listing in 2023?

Lexus UK also updated its official Twitter while the Goodwood Festival of Speed ​​closed. The content reads "See you next year. (See you next year)".

This content can be interpreted as Lexus will also participate in the event next year. Since the post contains a photo of Electrified Sport and the tag text "#LexusElectrifiedSport", it can also be interpreted as an exhibition related to Electrified Sport will be held next year.

If this is a hint that a commercial model will be exhibited in the future, it is speculated that it will be launched in Japan in 2023. Or maybe the flagship coupe, the successor to the LFA, will be launched sooner than we thought.
