Lexus LF-1 Flagship Crossover Arriving in 2022 with Two New Engines


According to the latest report from Japanese magazine Best Car, the production model Lexus LF-1 Limitless will debut in 2022 squarely aimed at the Porsche Cayenne.

The article outlines the LF-1’s tentative dimensions:

  • Wheelbase: 2990mm (117.7”)
  • Length: 5005mm (197”)
  • Width: 1980mm (78”)
  • Height: 1595mm (62.8”)

This aligns closely with the new Porsche Cayenne Coupe, with the LF-1 2.8” (71mm) longer, 3.2” (81mm) lower, and a 3” (76mm) increase in wheelbase.

Best Car also outlines the potential powertrains, starting with a Dynamic Force 4L twin turbo V8 that will replace the current 2UR-GSE 5L V8 used in the LC 500. Considering this engine is also expected to power a high-performance LC F model, it’s possible we may see a range of horsepower options.

There’s also mention of a Dynamic Force 3L twin turbo V6 hybrid, which would be the first-ever Lexus turbocharged hybrid engine and presumably replace the currently 3.5L V6 hybrid used in the LC & LS flagship models.
