Lexus surprised onlookers at Monterey Car Week by showing off a new Sport Concept at The Quail.
The new Sport Concept appears to be an evolution of the Electrified Sport Concept that Lexus teased in 2021.
Lexus says that the Sport Coupe “blends dynamic and emotional elements into a vision for a next-generation sports car,” but we’re still in the dark about technical details and production plans.
Monterey Car Week is an ideal setting for a surprise reveal, and Lexus has taken the opportunity to unveil a new Sport Concept this morning at The Quail. The rakish coupe is reminiscent of the Electrified Sport Concept that Lexus first teased in 2021, but features a more polished design that looks fit for production.
The company has only given vague clues about the Sport Concept’s overarching mission, stating that the “future-focused yet truly authentic sportscar signals the way forward for Lexus design.” Its look is undeniably striking, with a low-slung silhouette and familiar checkmark headlights integrated into angular cutouts that bookend its front fascia.

With only a few comments to work from, the Sport Concept’s technical details are still up in the air. Lexus is currently working on another supercar dubbed the LFR, which is expected to feature a twin-turbocharged hybrid V-8 powertrain. With internal combustion covered on that front, we suspect that the Sport Concept is hiding an all-electric powertrain.

When Lexus initially showed off its Electrified Sport Concept in 2021, the company projected a low-two-second 60-mph time and 430 miles of range courtesy of solid-state batteries. We’ll have to wait for more information, but those could also be performance and range targets for the Sport Concept.

Austin’s car fixation began at a young age and at 1:64 scale. Eventually, Hot Wheels weren’t cutting it anymore, so he developed an obsession with his father’s full-sized 1965 Ford Mustang instead. Desperate to break into the automotive industry, he bartered his way into a job at a local BMW dealership by promising to stop hurling nerdy technical facts at the salesmen who came into the neighboring coffee shop where he worked. That was also around the time when he started writing automotive reviews, news articles, and technical guides for a number of local and international publications. Now at Car and Driver, Austin brings more than 10 years of experience in the automotive industry and an all-so-common love-hate relationship with German engineering to the table.
