🤢Electric

 

Dont mind the looks of the car, its bold and trying to be different rather than the boring look of all other electric cars available. 

[Initial P]

Just make a all electric GS.

So far none of these electric cars do anything for me they are just for people who like getting about & care nothing for looks.

i guess its not easy designing a BEV as the CW drag coefficient is directing everything. needs to be below 0.25 to be able to reach an acceptable range.

Thats why everything starts to look at everything else nowadays

Drag coefficients don’t seem to improved much over the last 30 years

Reminds me of an early A6 from the side.

Had to laugh at Steve's post as he's totally absolutely right.

As for another post stating how folk don't care about looks but how a car looks Sorry but you're in a minority I think. That LF 30 looks outstanding but effing expensive. The MG5 looks the complete opposite but does it? Why did I put MG5 in this? Because its undoubtedly the best bang for buck BEV car there is. 

As we know Lexus do the UX300 all electric car but to be honest I'd rather have the UX250h.

As for an electric GS Pete. Why not get a quote from that outfit in Wales that convert classic cars to electric with great results?

The LF-30 concept was introduced 2 years ago and was supposed then to be a vision of what might be possible around 2030. Personally, I am more interested in what Lexus will actually do over the next 2 or 3 years with respect to BEV drivetrains. With all due respect to people who bought one, the UX300e is not competitive in terms of price per range and seems to be a vehicle for existing Lexus owners exhibiting brand loyalty based on the known strengths of the brand. Toyota group have a dedicated BEV platform as in the new BZ4X but it is questionable whether they can build at the scale of their competitors (Tesla, the Chinese and maybe Volkswagen) in what is a rapidly expanding market. Interesting times ahead whatever your view of EV vehicles.

 

Edit: Actually the LF-Z is more like a vision of Lexus's immediate future. 

LF-Z

Still, will be an expensive vehicle.
