As the last LFA supercar rolled out of Lexus’ Motomachi facility in December, the Japanese luxury brand promised that both the facility and the LFA’s carbon fibre technology would live on in future Lexus and Toyota models.
According to industry site Automotive News, this looks to be the sole legacy of the LFA, contradicting earlier reports of an upcoming LFA roadster variant or LFA-replacing new halo model.
"At one time, there were informal talks about another project to follow here after the current LFA project finishes," an unnamed Toyota official said.
