Lexus LFR concept: A preview of the LFA's successor supercar

Positioned at the center of the Lexus booth at JMS 2025, the LFR concept is a two-door coupe with a long hood, Kammback tail, hook-up lights, and slick Bridgestone tires; power and production plans have not been announced.

Lexus put the LFR concept front and center at the Japan Motor Show 2025 (JMS 2025), reaffirming the company's new supercar direction. The 2-door coupe, which was present in Monterey (California, USA) in August, is considered a preview of the next generation of the LFA - a car that was launched with a price of more than 400,000 USD. At the time of the exhibition, Lexus did not announce the specifications or transmission configuration of the LFR.

Coupe shape, elongated bonnet and Kammback tail

The LFR has a coupe-style body with a long hood that extends forward, creating a front-to-cockpit ratio typical of a front-engine sports car. The hood has two side vents, emphasizing the aerodynamic function. The dark roof slopes back to form a Kammback tail, reminiscent of the LFA's lines.

The front lights retain the Lexus signature hook design. The front bumper has a large, aggressive shape, incorporating carbon fiber vents to optimize cooling of the rear technical clusters. The overall look emphasizes aerodynamic efficiency and heat management – ​​two core elements of a high-performance platform.

Hook-shaped taillights and aerodynamic surfaces at the rear

The rear of the car continues to use the hook-shaped lights, connected to a strip of LEDs running across the width. Below are two large air vents, contributing to the management of airflow in the low-pressure area at the rear. In the concept version, the LFR does not have an exhaust; if commercialized, this detail will likely be added according to the technical requirements of the powertrain.

Bridgestone slick tires, yellow brake calipers: prioritize grip

The LFR rides on Bridgestone slick tyres – a configuration typically found on racetracks, designed to maximise grip on dry pavement. Behind the wheels, yellow brake calipers add visual interest and suggest a performance-oriented stance.

Compared to the one that appeared in August, the version at JMS shows changes in the wheel covers and brake caliper color. When the final product stage (if any), the brake caliper color combinations and wheel cover designs will likely become configuration options.

Cockpit revealed: digital mirrors, sports seats

Since it is a concept car, the interior details have not been announced yet. From the outside, the LFR is equipped with a digital rearview mirror and two sporty seats with branded headrests. The materials, dashboard layout and control interface have not yet been introduced by Lexus.

Performance Platform: Specs Unknown, Expectations to Exceed LFA

Lexus has not yet announced the LFR’s powertrain or expected output. The LFR’s juxtaposition with the LFA, which used a 4.8-liter naturally aspirated V10, makes it more likely that the LFR will be more powerful. However, any comments on power, acceleration, or transmission configuration are currently unsubstantiated by the company.

The lack of exhaust on the concept leaves open a lot of possibilities for powertrain options at the design stage. If it goes into production, emissions, noise, and mechanical packaging requirements will dictate how Lexus implements the exhaust system or a suitable alternative.

Role at JMS 2025 and the next roadmap

The LFR concept’s central placement at JMS 2025 underscores the project’s importance within the Lexus portfolio. It previously made its public debut in Monterey, where it was featured in one of the most prestigious arenas for performance and one-off cars.

At this point, Lexus has not released any information about the technical specifications, powertrain configuration, or commercialization timeline. These details will be key to determining how different the LFR is from the LFA and its position in the contemporary supercar ecosystem.

Conclude

The LFR concept clearly outlines Lexus’ priorities: a pure coupe shape, Kammback-style aerodynamics, massive cooling and air intakes, and slick, track-oriented tires. But key elements like the powertrain and performance specs remain unknown. As more official data becomes available, the picture of the LFA successor will become more complete.
