.Lexus president Koji Sato says SaveTheManuals, hints details of an EV supercar:
also was supposed to get a two-speed manual that never came to be. Some Formula E cars even used to utilize multi-speed gearboxes, with Lucas di Grassi winning the 2016-17 Formula E World Drivers' Championship for Abt Schaeffler Audi Sport in a car outfitted with a three-speed transmission.
All this to say, maybe Sato isn't as mad as he seems. While his software simulation of a stick shift isn't quite the same as actually using multiple gears and who knows how realistic or involving it might be, it's still one of the innovations that could set apart the EV supercar. The unnamed concept, which does not yet have a due date, is claimed to get to 60 mph in the"low-two-second range" and have a range of about 435 miles thanks to in-the-works solid-state battery technology. It will also use torque vectoring to improve handling and"realize vehicle dynamics," according to Sato, as well as steer-by-wire.
Being lightweight and aerodynamic is key to the new supercar. The LFA was notoriously a carbon-fiber animal, but Sato was tight-lipped about whether that would extend to its successor:"We look at the LFA heritage and use carbon fiber as necessary.""I really want this car be a halo, a showcase for the future of Lexus driving dynamics, to express the overall Lexus driving signature.
