Lexus, Toyota’s luxury division, has long stood as a symbol of quiet refinement, precision engineering, and unwavering reliability. But with the unveiling of the 2028 Lexus Electrified Sport, the brand shifts gears toward a bold, electric future—redefining what performance means in the age of zero emissions. This vehicle isn’t just a new electric sports car; it’s a spiritual successor to the iconic LFA, reimagined for a new era.
⚡ Design: A Fusion of Elegance and Aggression
The design of the 2028 Electrified Sport is a striking departure from Lexus’s current lineup—yet retains unmistakable Japanese aesthetics. Drawing inspiration from the LFA’s sculpted profile, the Electrified Sport is low-slung, wide, and purpose-built. It features a dramatically long hoodline and aggressive rear haunches, with aerodynamic flourishes throughout the body. The spindle grille, now closed off in EV form, remains as a bold design signature, flanked by sleek LED blade headlights and massive air intakes that enhance cooling and aerodynamics.
Active aerodynamic components, such as a deployable rear wing and adjustable front diffusers, ensure the car remains glued to the road at high speeds. A glass roof and sculpted carbon-fiber accents complete the futuristic look, blending luxury with athleticism in a way that only Lexus can.
⚙️ Performance: Electrified, Not Tamed
Lexus has not released full performance specifications, but early indicators suggest that the Electrified Sport will use a solid-state battery system—a major leap from conventional lithium-ion technology. This allows for:
- Faster charging
- Increased range
- Higher energy density
- Lighter overall weight
The dual- or tri-motor setup is expected to produce well over 1,000 horsepower, launching the car from 0 to 100 km/h in under 2 seconds. This places it squarely in the same performance tier as the Tesla Roadster, Rimac Nevera, and Lucid Air Sapphire.
A torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system and adaptive suspension work in concert to deliver laser-precise handling, making the Electrified Sport not just a drag-strip monster, but a true driver’s car. Lexus also hinted at incorporating a “virtual manual transmission” and dynamic sound synthesis—giving drivers the sensation of gear shifts and engine feedback for an emotional connection.
