New Lexus LFR Caught Testing In Japan
Toyota's GR GT3 Concept, first shown at the Tokyo Auto Salon over two years ago, is progressing towards a street-legal version.
The street model is expected to carry the Lexus badge and is rumored to be named "LFR". It will not serve as a direct successor to the LFA but rather as a follow-up to the RC F. The car is expected to be powered by a V8 engine, possibly with twin turbochargers, though official specifications have not been confirmed. Based on Toyota's GR GT3, the race car will make use of a twin-turbo V8.
Toyota was recently spotted testing the LFR at Fuji Speedway in Japan. The road car features a less aggressive design compared to the race-oriented GR GT3. It lacks the large rear wing, side exhausts, and has standard windshield wipers instead of the race car's single central wiper.
The GR GT3, set to race in the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2026, will likely see its road-going counterpart released shortly thereafter. Further details on the Lexus model, including its official name and full specifications, are anticipated as the vehicle approaches its market debut.
