A Lexus LFA Successor Isn't Going To Happen Any Time Soon

The super expensive, highly advanced LFA remains the most exciting thing Lexus has ever built. And it’s likely to remain so for some time, if comments made by Lexus Europe chief Alain Uyttenhoven are anything to go by.

At a recent event, Uyttenhoven said: “It is possible that we will one day create another supercar, but in my view a super-high-end machine is not what we need right now…what’s clear is that we can create similar emotion in more attainable cars, and that is our focus now.”

So, no bonkers carbonfibre supercars with V10s in the near future, but this does all sound like Lexus is committed to its still rather potent offerings, like the GS F, RC F and the incoming LC 500. So, there’s a V8-shaped silver lining to this cloud.
