To be honest, just about the sound, I think it sounds like more of a LS Swap muscle car, than a car from de "LF" lineup. I don't wanna believe, but it looks like they are using the LFA past, as a marketing strategy. I hope not, I hope it will be a respectful successor to the LFA Performance wise, looks pretty good, ngl
I don't think we can conclude anything about the street car transmission. This video has loud gear whine, so this is mostly likely the racing GT3 spec and gearbox. Also, the engine note is very similar to the RCF GT3.
I love hybridization,but it "costs" about 600 total additional pounds in weight,and nobody can "afford" that. I tested a 600hl some years ago,and really enjoyed the seamless grunt. I read within the last year that even Ford was looking at hybridization of its Mustang,but eventually scrapped the idea.
Honestly if it doesn't have that v10 sound from the LFA, I'm not really all that interested. I'm sure it'll be fantastic but being somebody who could never own either one, the sound was really the only thing I could fully appreciate about the LFA. I've heard twin turbo V8's before, but I've never heard anything like the LFA's V10 before or after.
I’m happy that they are pushing forward into a futuristic and more aggressive design style vs. almost looking old at the time of release like some other Toyota’s… like the new supra (in my opinion). I love Toyotas and have had over a dozen within my family so far but sometimes I do question their design style choices. Is it just me?

This car is indeed farting like a Ducati. The Yamaha engineering team will have their hands full. Its easy to tweak the sound of a V10 in general, they sound glorious naturally. A turbo’d v8 will definitely not sound as good, but Im sure Lexus will have sounthing up their sleeve seeing that the original LFA was all about the driver’s experience.
I HOPE ITS NOT CALLED THE LFA, its way better and more special for the car to make its own reputation rather than watering down the lfa name without a glorious v10. also so glad it has a v8, I thought it was gonna be an EV
My guess would be that it’s either a global GT3 car or more likely a Japan Super GT Prototype based off of the Lexus Electrified Sport Concept design that looks nearly identical to the rendering shown
I would've been happier if they put this type of development into the Supra, instead on using BMW. I hope they do way better with the sound. This can't follow the iconic LFA sound.
I think it's a hybrid TT V8 + 2 electric motors in front , because on the short straight in that testing car video , after corner, the acceleration is too fast for a RWD TTV8 on wet !!
Well, "hybrids" are allowed beyond the ICE-only ban. If this is the future for performance like the new NSX using the motors in the lower power bands, I'm down. XD
Cool. They will develope it for 10 more years and then release it in an already outdated state. Like they did with the first. And from the looks of the video it's definitely a Toyota. And a half mill for a Toyota still sounds craycray. But a supercar with reliability? Sure I'll take one.

Thats actually a sound of a naturally aspirated V8. You won’t hear the very throaty induction sound from that distance if there are turbochargers there. Very reminiscent of the current AMG GT3’s V8 - because it’s also naturally aspirated. We might see Lexus copying AMG’s strategy here: big displacement naturally aspirated V8 for the race car then smaller displacement turbocharged version for the road car.
A bit of a fun fact is that Toyota's Rookie Racing is currently using a Mercedes-AMG GT3 for Super Taikyu. Probably to gain some useful data to help with the GR GT3.
Pertaining to the LS i just got one on loan from the dealer and i keep saying i love that car. I think they should have put that engine and tranny in the LC and call it a LC400. Its light on its feet, just as fast and you could boost it making it even faster than the LC500. Id rejigger the naming for the hybrid to be LC600. I know that's pie in the sky the LC has maybe 2-3 years of production life left. 😚
This is a racing prototype. The shifts are fast because it's an air shifted sequential box, like every other GT3 car. You can also hear a racing traction controll system working on the corner exits. And just like with the LFA, probably they gonna release the racecar first, and then the road version later.
Yeah that’s how it always goes. Always look at the racing version of a car before and then we usually get the non race car version. Kinda like when the ft-1 Toyota came out and then we got the ae86, BRZ and frs
