The Lexus LFR, which was recently seen during testing on the Angeles Crest Highway in California. A new video from Motor1.com captures the vehicle driving alongside the previous-gen Mercedes-AMG GT R.
This is a prototype, that is, its final version is not yet ready, but the heart of car lovers is beating fast by seeing its glimpse. The car was shared by automotive journalist Jonny Lieberman on his Instagram, and it looks like Lexus is planning something big.
The Lexus LFR is considered to be the road-legal version of Toyota's GR GT3 concept. The special thing is its twin-turbo V-8 engine, which can come with a hybrid system. Talking about its power, there are rumors that it can give about 900 horsepower, which makes it a strong successor to Lexus LFA.
In the video, it is seen that its suspension is quite stiff, due to which it bounces a little on the flaws of the small road. But it is this feature that makes sports cars great on the track.

It's no coincidence to see the Lexus LFR testing alongside the Mercedes-AMG GT R on California roads. Lexus is using a powerful car like AMG GT R to benchmark this vehicle. This means that Lexus wants the LFR to be not only fast, but also top-class in handling and performance.
The Angeles Crest Highway, which is famous for curves and elevation, is the perfect place for testing. Looking at this car, it seems that it can go into production in 2026.
Talking about the design and features of Lexus LFR, it is expected to have a carbon fiber monocoque chassis, which will make it lightweight and strong. The spy footage also showed an adjustable rear wing, which shows its track-focused approach.
At the same time, the hybrid system is trying to make it environmentally friendly, without reducing performance. This new supercar of Lexus will be a mixture of not only speed but also luxury and technology.
