A Lexus LFA Successor Isn't Going To Happen Any Time Soon

Judging by comments from the boss of Lexus Europe, a successor for the bonkers V10 LFA is well off the agenda
A Lexus LFA Successor Isn't Going To Happen Any Time Soon

The super expensive, highly advanced LFA remains the most exciting thing Lexus has ever built. And it’s likely to remain so for some time, if comments made by Lexus Europe chief Alain Uyttenhoven are anything to go by.

At a recent event, Uyttenhoven said: “It is possible that we will one day create another supercar, but in my view a super-high-end machine is not what we need right now…what’s clear is that we can create similar emotion in more attainable cars, and that is our focus now.”

So, no bonkers carbonfibre supercars with V10s in the near future, but this does all sound like Lexus is committed to its still rather potent offerings, like the GS F, RC F and the incoming LC 500. So, there’s a V8-shaped silver lining to this cloud.

I thought LC 500 is the successor of LFA.

I’m not surprised to be honest, because the LFA took 10 years to make and it costed Lexus a hell of a lot of money to produce.
As a result, they’ve made a loss on every single one sold. So it would be ridiculous for them to make the same financial mistake again.

But how about the RCF ? Isn’t that a successor ? It looks mesmerizing as well. Saw one and my neck was breaking 😂😂

Just another luxury coupe offered by Lexus, certainly not a successor

“what’s clear is that we can create similar emotion in more attainable cars” This line here gives me hope of what theyre trying to do hopefully with the new Supra.

Considering the LFA took 9 years to develop this is no surprise
