The Camry-esque look at the front, and to an extent the rear, came second to the GR GT’s aerodynamics, which is the opposite way to how Toyota usually styles its cars. It’s built around a highly rigid aluminum frame—Toyota’s first, apparently—with carbon fiber for the hood, roof, and some other body panels to minimize weight. The automaker says that lowering the car’s center of gravity was a top priority, and weight balance and distribution also help explain the transaxle layout, where the car’s transmission is behind the cockpit and between the rear wheels.

I thought it looked neat

Read somewhere that Lexus is reviving LFA nameplate as electric.

Did you read that in the article linked here lol?

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 months ago

That would require reading.

Sorry my bad.

There are no words to describe how badly I want the electric LFA concept at the end of the article to go into production. Sure, it'll be crazy expensive and low volume, but considering the wizardry that went into the original LFA I think it'd end up being one of the best cars of all time.

Toyota's president has been wearing a MAGA hat and generally fondling Trump's balls lately.
