Okay so that video was not to be out there… a hotel guest heard it and posted… always interesting to see how a leak spreads when it can’t be stopped….

Yeah.. but it also felt a bit staged too. A random fluffy toys seller just happenes to be a racing enthusiast and stayed there the one night Toyota reserved the track for testing and caught the LFR? Hmmmm...

It was a leak. How do you know the car was there just one day :)

Fair enough haha... still suspicious though, but Toyota got it real quick before news headlines could catch it huh. Well, can we expect to see anything materialize from it officially this year Mike, or do we have to wait to next year?

Is that the sound of the V8 TT present in the LC F that Lexus decided not to build?

It would sell on engine sound alone.

The person was at the Fuji racing museum taking promotion photos for their toys with model cars.

Strangest leak ever.

He took the post down.

Why can’t people just accept it is what it is. Guy probably heard the car before he saw it and snaps some pics and photos. It’s not unusual for this to happen. Right place at the right time,

Lexus Racing is hosting a driving school there. I’ll have more pics to share

Bestcarweb published a CG of the road version LFR. It looks proper.
I think this is going to be 90-95% close to the real deal.

Lexus EV Supercar Promises Blistering Acceleration and Impressive Range​

It's called the 'Electrified Sport' for now, but make no mistake: this is intended as a spiritual successor to the sensational V-10–powered LFA.
