CAR magazine UK reveals details of the Lexus Electrified Sport, and the production version that will follow
► Production model to follow LFA’s footstepsYou might recognise this car. It’s the Lexus Electrified Sport concept – something that’s been dangled like a carrot on the end of a very long electrification stick-shaped by Toyota and Lexus for the best part of a year.
Toyota Europe boss, Matt Harrison, calls the Electrified Sport ‘our vision for a full-electric sports car,’ and Lexus Europe boss Pascal Ruch tells CAR that the production-spec version of this concept will ‘be like a cherry on the cake’ for a next-generation range of cars from Lexus.Sort of. The Electrified Sport is battery-electric and, while performance specs aren’t nailed yet , Lexus claims a two-second 0-62mph sprint time.
‘We can create any kind of characteristic given it’s done through software, which is a massive benefit,’ chief engineer for Lexus Electrified, Takashi Watanabe, tells CAR. ‘Take steer-by-wire, we can control the amount of tyre movement matched to the preference of each individual person. For a production car, regulations don’t allow us to offer that on the road.
