to update: A new image of the Lexus LFR model has been shared on Reddit; This story was updated with the new image and compact humans (with the permission of the original poster).
It has been more than three years since it revealed Toyota Gr GT3 concept To preview the future race car. Since then, our sister site Motorsport.com I mentioned that a Legal street issuance with Lexus badge In business. Fast forward to mid -2015, and the production model remains a lack of attendance. However, we still feel excitement whenever a preliminary model of testing on public roads is monitored. A new spy video shows the road that revolves around it in California, and shows an initial preliminary test in the Colorado Mountains.
Video, subscriber on Instagram By veteran journalist Johnny LiebermanIt was registered from within the BMW M5 Touring on Angeles Crest, and what indicates that the reports will be called Lexus LFR. The low performance machine was in a good company, as it seems that Lexus was measuring the initial model against the previous Mercedes-Aamg GT. The two transportation was accompanied by two current generation Toyota Sikoya with power stretching mirrors. The SUV was also at the front of the fleet Sikoya.
You know that the LFR will look great when the prototype turns. It is worth noting that it lacks Big back wing It was already seen on another test car. Aero may be dedicated to the release of militants focusing on the path, or it may be part of an optional package. You can find out that the suspension is cruel from how to wear a car to slight road defects, but this is how the cookie file collapses with custom sports cars.
The second image shared on Reddit by USer U/Viper287 shows a similar initial model – on an earthen road, from all places – in the Hartsel Mountains, Colorado. Car manufacturers regularly test preliminary models at high altitudes, so what Lexus should do here.
So, why is Lexus tested AMG GT? The new LFR is also expected to have a V-8 installed on the twin, albeit with a hybrid development. The second generation model of Affalterbach is also made, but the AMG GT was seen in the shots was the original combustion version. The upcoming Japanese competitor is characterized by a wide body, and lends a strange presence to match Mercedes.
The fact that Lexus is approaching that AMG GT indicates that it puts the tape high for LFR. However, you do not expect it to be a direct successor to LFAAs the new model is likely to be less in the squad. As a result, you should undermine the LFA price of $ 375,000 significantly. The enlightened guesswork will put it over $ 150,000, especially given that the RC F is already hovering around six numbers.
To return to it, the lowest AMG GT with the V-8 is the GT 55 at 138,700 dollars. However, Lexus GT 63, which starts from $ 179.050, may target. Mercedes also offers flavors at $ 195,900: The Hybrid GT 63 SE performance The GT 63 Pro is ready.
Since Toyota and Lexus Their new cars have been tested for years, and we hope that they will be revealed sooner, not later. The WeC race car is expected to compete in 2026, so the waiting must be almost ended.
