Americans will be able to get their first in-the-flesh look at the successor to the Lexus LFA next month at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
One of 16 concept cars Lexus and Toyota has in the works, the Electrified Sport was first shown at last month’s Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Now, it’ll be making its American debut on the Pebble Beach Concept Car Lawn where you’ll also be able to catch the Supercar Blondie team on the day.

Lexus announced it would be on display at the car show in a teaser video from Lexus Japan.
It shows the car on display at Goodwood, before being closed up into a wooden shipping crate.
The text “Deliver To: Pebble Beach Concours” is then shown being hand-painted on the side.
The concept is effectively billed as an electric follow-up to Lexus’ iconic V10-powered LFA supercar.
It’s around the same size as the Lexus LC coupe, but has even more attractive styling.
The sleek lines it wears are obviously the main attraction, but the Electrified Sport – originally called the BEV Sport – should be a serious performer as well.
Lexus is promising 692km (430mi) of range from the electric coupe.
It should also have a 0-100km/h (0-62mph) time “in the low two-second range”.

It was parked inside a glᴀss box the whole time at Goodwood, but here’s hoping we might see it drive in California – even if at slow speeds.
Lexus is yet to confirm if the Electrified Sport – or an electric coupe like it – will make it to production.
However, the fact the company is selling the V8-powered LC coupe and convertible should bring hope that the company will keep making sporty two-doors.
You can catch the Lexus Electrified Sport concept – along with our team – at the Pebble Beach Concours on August 21, 2022.
