Lexus LFA Successor Rumored To Launch As A Hybrid

22 Mar 2023

The Lexus LFA was a groundbreaking supercar that made its debut in 2010. It was a limited production vehicle that showcased the best of Lexus engineering and design, and it quickly became a sensation in the automotive world. Despite its short production run, the LFA left a lasting impression on car enthusiasts around the world. And now, rumors are swirling that Lexus is planning a successor to the LFA, which could launch as a hybrid before eventually morphing into an electric supercar.

LFA II will launch as a hybrid

According to various reports, the new Lexus supercar is being developed under the codename "Lexus LFA II." While details about the car are scarce, there are some rumors about what we can expect from the vehicle. One of the most prominent rumors is that the LFA II will launch as a hybrid. This is not surprising, as many automakers are turning to hybrid technology to improve the performance of their vehicles while also reducing emissions.

It is expected that the LFA II will use a hybrid powertrain that combines a gasoline engine with an electric motor. This will give the car impressive performance capabilities, as well as improved fuel efficiency. Some reports suggest that the car could produce as much as 800 horsepower, which would make it one of the most powerful cars on the market.

But the real excitement around the LFA II is the possibility that it could eventually become an electric supercar. This would make sense for Lexus, as the company has already made significant investments in electric vehicle technology. In fact, Lexus currently sells a range of hybrid and electric vehicles, including the popular UX 300e electric SUV.

If the rumors are true, the LFA II could be the flagship vehicle in Lexus's electric lineup. It is rumored that the car could be designed with a modular platform that allows for a range of different powertrain options, including fully electric. This would allow Lexus to adapt to changing market conditions and customer preferences.

Porsche plans a trio of powertrains for the Cayenne into the next decade

For more than 20 years, the Cayenne has been characterised by its ability to provide the broad range of qualities between characteristic Porsche driving performance, excellent comfort in everyday driving, and great capability when driving off-road. The future models of the SUV will seamlessly continue this success story, retaining all of the car’s familiar features.

“The Cayenne has always defined the sports car in its segment. In the middle of the decade, the fourth generation will set standards in the segment as an electric SUV,” said Blume, CEO of Porsche AG. At the same time, into the next decade our customers will still be able to choose from a wide range of powerful and efficient combustion and hybrid models.

"The third generation of the Cayenne will be further upgraded and will continue to be offered alongside the fourth, all-electric generation".

The current Cayenne generation, which last year was given one of the most extensive product upgrades in the history of Porsche, will be further developed with major technological investment in the future. Here the developers will be focusing, among other things, on the powertrains, in particular on improving the efficiency of the V8 developed by Porsche and built at the Zuffenhausen engine plant. Extensive technical measures will ensure that the twin-turbo engine is ready to comply with future legislative requirements.
