While Lexus has not disclosed technical specs, sources indicate that the concept is probably equipped with a front-engine, twin-turbo V8 that drives the rear wheels through a transaxle configuration, reminiscent of the design of traditional long-nose, rear-drive sports cars. Observers highlight assertive aerodynamic features such as a prominent rear diffuser, pronounced air vents reminiscent of the LFA, and a roofline that directs airflow over a discreet rear spoiler.

This concept may indicate a high-performance Lexus supercar or a next-generation successor to the LC, merging motorsport heritage with luxurious design. Lexus is evidently striving to reestablish its presence in the sports-car domain, regardless of its future prospects.
