Lexus LFR/LFA II Megathread

According to what I understand it is more of a lightweight hybrid system like the Porsche 911 hybrid, which also only adds about 50 HP. I think it makes sense for the GR GT to avoid weighing 2,3 tons being a PHEV.

Good point, I hadn't considered that. I was just thinking performance hybrid like the E-Ray, but this clearly wouldn't be that if lightweight is the intention

Lighter weight hybrid tech derived from their racing program would be pretty cool. I've wondered if LFR = "R" to represent racing and motorsports?

Original speculation was recharge, right?

Rooting for them to have this car have a Lexus badge and continue the F program is my wish. I have heard that LF-R is not the name of the car and i wonder if any development has been made on the Lexus iterations name. It is a great name and since this is not the LFA 2 makes sense has this car is the first track-to-street development after learning tons from their RCF GT3 program. After all the LF-A was not the intended name of that car and they just went with it the project name as the final choice funny enough. It might just happen with the LF-R.
