Lexus stunned the crowd at Monterey Car Week 2025 with the debut of its new Sport Concept. Inspired by the Electrified Sport Concept, this futuristic coupe could signal the brand’s all-electric performance future.
Lexus Sport Concept Makes Surprise Debut at Monterey Car Week
Lexus surprised onlookers at Monterey Car Week with the reveal of its brand-new Lexus Sport Concept at The Quail. The sleek coupe appears to be an evolution of the Electrified Sport Concept first teased in 2021, but with a design that looks closer to production readiness.
Evolution of the Electrified Sport Concept
The Lexus Sport Concept blends futuristic styling with aggressive aerodynamics. Its low-slung silhouette, sharp character lines, and signature checkmark LED headlights reflect a vision of Lexus’s next-generation sports car philosophy.
Although Lexus has not revealed technical specifications, the concept echoes the brand’s push toward electrification. The Electrified Sport Concept showcased in 2021 promised:
- 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) in the low two-second range
- Around 430 miles (692 km) of driving range
- Solid-state battery technology
If these targets carry over, the new Sport Concept could redefine Lexus performance.
Possible Powertrain: All-Electric Future
Currently, Lexus is developing another flagship supercar, the LFR, which is expected to use a twin-turbocharged hybrid V-8. With that slot filled, industry watchers speculate that the Sport Concept will be all-electric, serving as the performance EV counterpart to the LFR.
Lexus’s Vision of Performance Design
In Lexus’s words, the Sport Concept “blends dynamic and emotional elements into a vision for a next-generation sports car.” The unveiling at Monterey underscores the importance of this model as a design and technology statement for the brand’s future.
Production details remain unclear, but Lexus has made one thing obvious: the Sport Concept is more than just a show car. It represents the bold direction Lexus intends to take as it enters the era of performance EVs.
