Automotive enthusiasts can view this groundbreaking electric vehicle firsthand at Lexus Manila from January 17 to 19, and at Lexus Mitsukoshi from January 24 to 26. This showcase Lexus Philippines’ evolution as a brand as it unveils its electrified vision for the future.
A bold vision for an electrified future
Introduced in December 2021 by Akio Toyoda, President of Toyota Motor Corporation, the Lexus Electrified Sport Concept is one of 16 battery electric vehicles (BEVs) that illustrate the company’s strategy for achieving carbon neutrality. With its striking proportions and aggressive stance, this concept aims to redefine high-performance EVs while maintaining the brand’s legendary driving dynamics. Lexus has a notable history of pushing boundaries, highlighted by the iconic LF-A supercar. The Electrified Sport Concept upholds this legacy, combining stunning aesthetics with the ambition to disrupt the high-performance vehicle segment. Its sleek design evokes the legendary LF-A, and while we will miss the wail of that legendary V10, Lexus' cutting-edge technology promises to deliver an exhilarating sensory experience.
A global star comes to Manila
Before its arrival in the Philippines, the Lexus Electrified Sport Concept garnered attention at prestigious events such as the Goodwood Festival of Speed and the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. These appearances solidified its reputation as a symbol of innovation and performance in the electrified era. Now, Filipino car enthusiasts will have the chance to see this futuristic vehicle up close, presenting a unique opportunity for those eager to witness the next chapter in Lexus's rich history.
Lexus EV concepts
The Lexus Electrified Sport Concept is part of a long lineage of innovative EV models that Lexus has unveiled over the years. This journey began in 2019 with the Lexus LF-30, which Lexus Philippines showcased at their Mitsukoshi pop-up in 2023. It is a groundbreaking concept car characterized by its futuristic design, in-wheel electric motors, and wireless charging capabilities. Its hoodless design and AI-driven energy management systems clearly showcased Lexus’s forward-thinking philosophy.
In 2023, Lexus introduced its flagship LF-ZL, a BEV concept that emphasizes luxury, space, and connectivity. Built on a next-generation BEV platform, the LF-ZL features advanced technologies such as the Arene Operating System, enabling highly personalized driving experiences. Its design blends traditional Japanese hospitality with cutting-edge technology to create a serene and futuristic cabin atmosphere. Together with the Electrified Sport Concept, these vehicles exemplify Lexus’s dedication to exploring various facets of electrification, from luxury and comfort to performance and innovation. They collectively envision a future where sustainability and driving pleasure coexist harmoniously.
A glimpse of what’s to come
The Electrified Sport Concept is here to define the future of high-performance innovation for the brand. While specific technical details remain under wraps, the concept is expected to deliver exhilarating driving dynamics characteristic of the brand's high-performance vehicles such as the LF-A and the F Sport cars.
