There aren’t that many cars in the world that are as legendary as the Lexus LFA.
Unveiled over 10 years ago, it was received with raised eyebrows at first but has become iconic since.
Not to mention a collector’s item.
Well over a decade later, Lexus is working on its successor which, predictably, is likely going to be electric.
However, Lexus says it will somehow manage to give it a manual gearbox.
We had the chance to get an exclusive look at the new concept LFA and it looks tremendous.
Visually, it looks even better than the original LFA.
From a technical standpoint, it is rumored to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) from a standstill in just 2 seconds, and it should have a range of 700 km (434 miles).
