Japanese magazine Best Car is reporting that Lexus will revive the LFA supercar with a brand new model in 2025. The powertrain will somehow still include a V8, this time a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 engine paired with a plug-in hybrid system and producing a combined 940 horsepower.
Why did Lexus stop making the LFA?
For those that might not remember 2012, the Lexus LFA was a high end supercar from Lexus. Unfortunately, the Lexus LFA failed to secure sufficient interest from car buyers, which is why no more than 500 of these cars were ever made.
