LEXUS has released a gallery of new pictures of its next generation battery electric sports car.

The model was first revealed last December in the company's battery electric vehicle announcement made by Akio Toyoda, Toyota Motor Corporation president and Lexus Brand holder.

The new sports model will be part of a full line-up of BEVs Lexus will launch by 2030 under its Lexus Electrified brand vision.

Through Lexus Electrified the company aims to leverage the potential of electrification to increase the joy of driving for its customers.

Lexus also says it will deliver the rewards of the 'Lexus Driving Signature', a driving experience founded on linear vehicle responses that are faithful to the driver's intentions.

With the bold proportions and low ride height required for a high-performance sports car, the new model symbolises the future of the Lexus brand while also reviving the spirit of the iconic Lexus LFA.

Acceleration from 0-62mph will be in the low two-second range and the cruising distance will exceed 430 miles with the possible use of solid-state batteries.

Through its development of pure electric vehicles, Lexus says it will evolve into a brand that offers a range of driving experiences, harnessing its unique performance development capabilities and honing its craft of making products that are ever more personalised in their performance, quality and appeal.
