Lexus and Toyota are in the middle of a sports car revival. Fresh off the reveal of two prototypes, the brand has now showcased its striking new coupe, the Lexus Sport Concept. Positioned as a possible replacement for the aging but elegant LC, this rakish coupe debuted at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering. With its wide stance, low-slung profile, and production-ready design cues, the Sport Concept signals that Lexus is serious about bringing this car to market soon.
The design blends supercar aggression with grand tourer elegance. Sharp character lines, a long hood, and a short deck define its silhouette, while peeled-back headlamps give it a futuristic edge. Subtle styling nods to the legendary Lexus LFA connect past performance icons with the brand’s electrified future. Initially revealed as a pure-electric sports car with solid-state batteries, the Sport Concept promised up to 430 miles of range and 1,000 bhp of silent power. Industry insiders now believe the production model will feature a hybrid-electric powertrain, aligning with current high-performance automotive trends.
Lexus and Toyota have yet to confirm final details, but reports suggest this is one of three new sports cars in development. Expected within the next three years, the Sport Concept will expand Lexus’s high-performance lineup while strengthening Toyota’s GR brand. Though Lexus does not have a long supercar history, the LFA left an indelible mark on enthusiasts, proving the brand could compete at the highest level. Now, with electrified power, sharp design, and bold ambitions, Lexus aims to position itself as a true rival to Porsche and other luxury performance leaders.
