2027 Lexus LFR: All we know

Toyota is building a new race car. We have seen the first GR GT3 concept in the Tokyo Motor Salon in 2022, and all videos of spying and patent pictures since then a setup similar to this original concept. But it will not be limited to the path.

Toyota will present a version on the road from GR GT3, which is definitely wearing a Lexus A badge in the United States. It is likely to be called LFR, as the race version is expected to appear for the first time in early 2026 and the road model to follow shortly after that.

Lexus has dropped hidden hints over the past few months, which means that the car is not a full puzzle. We have collected as many of these details as possible; Here’s all you need to know about the upcoming Lexus LFR.

What will be called?

Gr GT3 name comes from Toyota concept 2022But the official name must change when it is launched. The road must Wearing a Lexus badge In the United States, it is likely to be called LFR – which is somewhat progressing from the beloved successor of LFA. LFR will also fill the gap left by RC and LC Coupes, which is likely to be stopped after 2025 style.

How will Lexus LFR look like?

a lot Spy video clip and Patent pictures (Below) appears long and elegant coupe similar to the concept of GR GT3. Test vehicles in these videos included huge holes of the bumper with the division of aggression, wings, and wings, and venticated hood with radiators – all of these devices needed to tear the track.

Patent photos, discovered in June 2022, do not refer directly to the GT3 GR. But it is difficult not to believe that they are a preview of the production model. What one expects from a copy of the legal street of the concept.

The car maintains the front luxury and vent, which is much less aggressive. The large wing of the contestant is missing from the car in the patent, but still has a large rear distribution, and it is injured by LFA bulbs.

It is also long, with pushing the cabin back on the body before the rear wheels; It looks like Mercedes-AMG GT with a roof and a crushing body in profile (appropriate, given that the company is testing LFR next to AMG GT). It seems that the huge front fenders, with ventilation holes, appear to have a side exhaust tips that are outside by burning the calves of anyone.

The show here imagines how LFR can look when it reaches the way.

What engine will you get Lexus LFR?

Lexus has not made any hint regarding what might work on LFR. However, a Modern spy video She picked up the car exhaust note, and it seems that it looks like V-8-at least on the track. The development of a 5.2-liter V-8 engine can be used naturally that operates the RC FG3 Legos, which makes more than 500 hp.

the Lexus RC and You can drive to work every day also the V-8 engine that is naturally inhaled, but it replaces only 5.0 liters while making 472 hp. This is enough power to get the RC FRACK version to 60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds, but it is not clear whether the V-8 will operate the production car. There is definitely enough space before one windshield.

While the difficult F-Badged version of the car will most likely get a pure combustion force (and we hope it will be eight cylinders), the most modified pedestrian edges can adopt smaller engines and even hybrid settings. Lexus 2024 RC offers a four-cylinder turbocharged engine that makes 241 hp and V-6 3.5-liter with 260 hp.

However, all this depends on where the car will fall into the squad.

When will Lexus LFR appear for the first time?

David Wilson, Toyota Race President David Wilson, suggested earlier in 2024 that the GR GT3 racing car could appear in 2026 Dynona 24 hours in January. But the road car will not appear until later.

One of the reasons why we see us to see the GR GT3 race until 2026. It was supposed to be ready for the 2025 season, but Toyota had to delay it for a year due to the obstacles to developing the model on the road. We expect Toyota in the middle to 2025 before selling it the following year.

How much will it cost?

The final version of the Lexus RC f begins from 94,120 dollars, while the cost of the beginners with the four -cylinder turbine costs $ 46,915 (both prices include destination fees). The current Lexus group also consists of LC500Which has a starting price of $ 101,200 for 2025.

However, we expect LFR to be more dual than these two models still. For fear you can forget, LFA started with a huge amount of $ 375,000 when it is new, and costs up to $ 445,000 for Nurburgring Trim. LFR is likely to be expensive, but we have to wait and see.
