- Lexus revealed a new Sport Concept at The Quail during Monterey Car Week, showcasing production-ready design cues.
- The coupe is viewed as an evolution of the 2021 Electrified Sport Concept, with sharper styling and proportions.
- Lexus has not disclosed technical specifications, though the model is widely expected to feature an all-electric powertrain.
Lexus pulled a fast one at Monterey Car Week, taking the wraps off a brand-new Sport Concept during The Quail’s festivities.
Sleek, angular and very nearly production-ready in appearance, the coupe is widely viewed as the spiritual successor to the Electrified Sport Concept that first broke cover back in 2021.
Evolution, not revolution?
While Lexus is keeping its cards close to its chest, the new show car carries clear echoes of that earlier Electrified Sport, albeit with sharper surfacing and more cohesive proportions.
The trademark check-mark headlights sit in sculpted cut-outs, framing a nose that’s as dramatic as it is familiar. According to Lexus, the coupe “blends dynamic and emotional elements into a vision for a next-generation sports car,” while also serving as a “future-focused yet truly authentic sportscar” signpost for its evolving design language.
All charged up (maybe)
Technical details remain under wraps. Lexus already has another flagship in development, the LFR, slated to run a twin-turbo hybrid V8, so the smart money says this new Sport Concept will lean fully electric.
That would make sense given the company’s earlier performance claims: when the 2021 Electrified Sport Concept was previewed, Lexus spoke of a sub-three-second sprint to 100km/h and as much as 690km of range thanks to solid-state batteries.
Whether those numbers hold true for this coupe remains to be seen, as Lexus has not disclosed performance figures or range yet.
A teaser, not a promise
For now, the Sport Concept is less about production deadlines and more about sending a message: Lexus is serious about high-performance EVs and design that stirs emotion as much as it cuts through air.
If the company’s intent was to spark conversation at Monterey, mission accomplished, as the surprise reveal ensured that this rakish coupe was one of the event’s most talked-about debuts.
