The Sport concept was expected to be EV-only.

Lexus has already said that LFA successor is going to be EV. We're expecting the realized "GR Sports"/RC-successor sports car to feature the ttV8, unrelated to the Electrified Sports LFA II concept thing

The GR GT3 is now officially the Lexus GT3 Concept. The production version of this car will likely utilize the ttV8 if it happens, since this car is stated to be a more sports/track oriented car as opposed to the RC/LC, and better suited to actual GT3 in race form.

whatever they end up making it won't be an 'LFA successor', nor do i want it to be... the LFA is one of those things that should just be its own entity not associated with any other

i'm excited for a lexus ev supercar though... where Toyota used to be good at making fun cars they're now great at ev tech so i have high hopes
