The longer it takes the more I can be prepared for it 🤣🤣. Hope I fit good lol.
The manual transmission on modern high torque cars are not good anyway. They have a very mushy feel to make them smoother and more drivable. The best manuals are found on hot hatches.Doesn't sound very inspiringas expected the LFR will just be a "one hit" wonder for ICE F. And bringing back manual when we're going back to EVs... But not having any manuals on the actual ICE F products.. idk
I was mainly just concerned with the 2025 release date as we have had a few articles mentioned a 2026 date.Hybrid TTV8 which then becomes the BEV in 2030.
I thought this was pretty clearly communicated in aggregate by now publicly.
How is it unthinkable that a very expensive hybrid would debut new battery tech before a dedicated supercar built just on the battery propulsion alone is released.

That's outdated information from over 2 months ago.Another small update on when we will see the LFR...
"The design information of the LFA II, which is in the Best Car Scoop team, is very similar to the "Lexus Electrified Sports" exhibited at motor shows in various countries, and if it were the same car, it would be a BEV Super Sports.
However, information from a reliable source is a V8 twin-turbo HEV, and it was developed at the same time as the GT3, a dedicated racing vehicle, so a BEV is unthinkable. It's possible that HEV and BEV are being developed at the same time, but I can't think of any reason for such inefficiency.
The "mystery" around it remains, but let's assert that the LFA II will appear as a super HEV sports in 2025."

レクサス新型LFAが2025年登場!? EVかと思いきやまずはハイブリッドになる可能性大 - 自動車情報誌「ベストカー」
レクサス新型LFAが2025年登場!? EVかと思いきやまずはハイブリッドになる可能性大 2035年までに全ての新車をBEVにするという目標を掲げるレクサス。そこで気になるのはレクサスが誇るスーパースポーツ、LFAの後継車となるLFA IIだ。これもBEVになるのか!?!?bestcarweb.jp
Helpful comment... Again, bold letters. I know the above information has been shared, but the dates have been up in the air.That's outdated information from over 2 months ago.
That's when the race car will participate in the World Endurance Championship. AFAIK, there needs to be a few hundred built before Lexus can even homologate the car for the LMGT3 class for the WEC so a 2025 debut would make sense. It could arrive earlier for the IMSA series, which makes me think a 2024 reveal could be possible as well.I was mainly just concerned with the 2025 release date as we have had a few articles mentioned a 2026 date.

Whine is definitely the straight cut gearsBoy, that sure is some sound.
V8 and forced induction and a bit of electric whine?
Yeah, it has the rumble of the 5.4L 2UR-GSE V8 that was in the RC F GT3.Whine is definitely the straight cut gears
