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
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.

The LFA was the swansong of the NA super car. And what a song it was…
Love Clarksons review on the RC-F.
Considering how much money, time and effort developing the LFA took, it’s a rather wise move from Lexus not to make another one in a near future. They’re doing great and building fantastic cars but in more down to earth fasion. It’s not like they need another supercar however it would be nice to see their attempt at more performance oriented cars rather than GT cruisers.
no…….
The FT-1 is going to have a v10
Pff, that wasn’t a Lexus. That was Toyota showing what it was capable of.
I just want an uprated version of the current one
Kinda like how Bugatti did it with their Veyron
