New Lexus LFA with GAME-CHANGING battery!

- Toyota is working on some next-level electric car technology that could change the game forever… And it’s all to do with solid-state batteries!
But why is this technology so important? Well for starters, let’s take a look at lithium-ion batteries.
Any electric car on our roads in 2023 come including a lithium ion battery. And even though they’re included in any new electric car, they’re not exactly perfect. Not only are they super large, but they also lose a bit of capacity each time you charge them. Not only that, but they get hot when they’re being charged, and they only deliver peak power in a certain temperature window.
So that’s where solid-state batteries come in. They don’t have any of these issues, and their technology helps to prevent overheating. What’s more, whereas large lithium ion batteries can take hours to charge, solid-state batteries can charge much faster! They’re also smaller and lighter, and electric motors will be able to pull more power quickly - helping make cars powered by these batteries quicker!
So this technology sounds pretty futuristic, but Toyota has been working on it for over 10 years, and we may see solid state batteries sooner than you think! What’s more, this own’t just be in your standard family-friendly SUVs and saloons… It will also be included in an all-new, all-electric replacement for the Lexus LFA!!

Jeremy Clarkson was right.
"Car so good even Lexus forgot how to make it again"
LOL

@@septanos Chisato Nishikigi was right.
Lmao Jeremy knew it all these years
Only the sound
nothing can replace the OG LFA.
This is not the actual lfa successor, look up the Toyota gt3 project. It has a high revving twin turbo v8 with lfa styling
You mean no replacement for OG 🤪
Agreed, the OG LFA is the best.
that v10 sound nothing can replace
@@mercedesbenzpatron8813 Chisato Nishikigi also loves the "SUPAKAA", the OG 2010 LFA. That. Is.
What you need to remember is how Toyota makes their cars. Toyota don’t innovate as much as they used to. What Toyota do now, is sit back, watch what their competitors make, analyse it and then make their own improved version, which almost always has worked in their favour.
They are the apple of cars, in that sense.
what do you mean by "as much as they used to"? like, late 2000s?
their new force engine or whatever it's called is pretty innovative and shows results as seen in GR Yaris, and their newer hybrids are quite advanced. they also did the steer by wire in the new lexus and on
@@massimolettuce only thing missing is built by Chinese slaves.
Seems like an excellent business plan to me……
Their strategy is different, that's all.
the entire apeal of a LFA is THE MUSIC OF THE V10
Agreed, they should be exploring synthfuels and H2 combustion for sports cars, not souless EVs.
That could be a gamechanger for ebikes too🎉. I have a 700Wh battery and it weights more than 3kgs! Bit off topic but I'm happy to see this new development 😊
Yes. Ebikes hopefully has tons of energy saving like the one in Chevy E Ray.
My 1000Wh battery weighs 5.5Kg. I switched to lighter tyres and wheels to offset some of the weight
My 3600wh EUc weights 100lbs.
A standard urban E-Bike weights about 22-25kg. I don't know if a reduction of maybe 1-1.5kg is that much of a game changer
That's really good energy to weight ratio
The LFA concept looks awesome. Hope they don't dial it down too much when it goes into production.
they will never top the old LFA with an electric car
Why did you have to add "with an electric car"? The LFA cant be topped full stop. As Jeremy Clarkson said, its so good, even Lexus themselves forgot how to make it again
not with that mindset
yes they will :)
LOL McMurtry Speirling. But you have a good point, Toyota could never build a masterpiece of an Electric Car like that.
@@Neojhun McMurtry Spierling even can reach top speeds on par with even SRT TOMAHAWKs.
This LFA was famous for his sound , now is electric 😔
TT V8
It will be a hybrid, it's just using a V8 instead.
The world is changing...
They sort of have to… along with everyone else. No choice.
You can thank politicians for that.
Lithium-ion batteries were developed by Akira Yoshino of Asahi Kasei Corporation. All-solid-state batteries are also being developed and researched by Toyota Motor Corporation, Panasonic Corporation, Tokyo Institute of Technology, and others.
✨all✨
Okay, this new LFA has a more generally appealing design. Feels like more of it makes sense together.
What have they done to my poor lfa😭
They will make it better
@@lukabosnjak3829 Hardly. Now the only nieche ppl bought it for is gone. Another soulless "car".

Nothing will replace the sound of the LFA
That's ok. Could say the same about the VW R32, or Chevy small block.
nothing will replace the life of a horse
I've had this same idea for a simulated manual transmission for years. Similar to how a digital guitar amplifier can simulate the tones of various tube amps, I have always thought that it should be possible to have an EV simulate the torque curves of various ICE engines. I even had the idea that you can simulate a stall. Imagine being able to select your car modeling the experience of an N/A vs turbo vs supercharged in a flat-6, V8 or V12. I am astounded that Toyota/Lexus is actually doing this. I should have patented my idea. I wonder if they will also simulate in-cabin engine sounds. If done properly, and with improvement over the years, it could be so good as to be close to indistinguishable from the real experience. Even if not, I am so glad someone is out there thinking about preserving the driving experience in future cars. I honestly thought it would be Porsche that would do something like this first.
Koenigsegg already managed to simulate their transmission with the light speed transmission in the Jesko and that was debut in 2019
I love it so much. All I want is to shift myself and hear some good sounds.
@@pihermoso11 The Lightspeed transmission is also very cool allowing a car to be both an automated multi-clutch and a manual. It's different though as that system is actually selecting real gears by actuating various clutches and the system that Lexus is suggesting seems to be purely simulated. But both are great innovations which will hopefully preserve some of the spirit of traditional driving.
My dad and I had the talk about this very concept too. Including sounds and vibration. Just glad to see it become reality! Until then, V8 it is!
Riiight 🤔
Looks like a gaming mouse
All the new LFA will do is raise the value of the original LFA.
What a sad future we have ahead of us.
Wild how you think that. This new age stuff will blow the old cars out of the water. Very exciting future ahead
If you think the Tesla Plaids, the McMurtry Spéirling, and the Rimac Nevera are sad, you're a nostalgia freak living in the past.
They shouldn't call this LFA.
‼️🎯
I agree but it's marketing
LFE
Yep just like they shouldn't have called the new BMW clown shoe the Zupra. But like Sknow Body said, marketing and taking money from folks who don't know better. If it were my cash, I would just buy an actual BMW with that straight 6 instead of a BMW with a Toyota badge on it.
EFA
Yes yes, the holy grail we ve been hearing for the last 15 years, that will come next year!
Solid state battery has been “3 years away” as far as I can remember and cared, which is almost 2 decades at this point. So I will believe it when I see it.
The thing that surprised me the most is the striking presence of those Aerocatch on both the "real" prototype and the renders.
I wonder what they're trying to tell us.
what's an aerocatch?
@@carlosandleon when you look at the prototype there's 2 black thingies on the hood near the headlamp, those are aerocatch it's like a hoodpin or connector for body panels
This can be the gamechanger for markets where EVs don't work simply because the ranges between charging stations make it impossible. Thinking of places like Australia, Africa etc. If it can charge quicker and go further it'll really be what's needed to supplant ICE vehicles for many consumers. Even if it is cheaper to build, they'll have much R&D costs to recoupe so I doubt it'll be cheaper for the customer - would be nice though.
It will get cheaper when you will have a battery with 500-600 miles range minimum from all the brands.
Those charging stations will be everywhere you need very soon across the highway network.🤔
Curious. Last time I've heard, Toyota was planning on selling first cars with SSB's in 2023. Now it's 2025. Is it another ever-moving goalpost?
Yes because it’s not even a tech ready for market. They use this car IMO as a flagship to interest customers and investors…
the king of ever moving goalpost is Elon/Tesla.
@@silimarina. Couldn't agree more
@@silimarina. considering Tesla has 4680s and these guys have been promising solid state for 3+ years and pushed this back another 2 makes Toyota the current goal post pusher 😂 nobody makes an ev that truly competes for the money vs Tesla rn . Can’t wait til they do though
@@IReahpZz Really? 4680 battery was supposed to be available on all Tesla cars by now and guess what it's not. Also, 4680 battery is just a format of battery, not a new type of battery like solid-state battery is.
Also, what about FSD that was supposed to be ready by 2016, or by 2018, 2019, robotaxi by 2020, 2021, etc....
Or Cyber truck that was supposed to be already on the roads, but every year it is pushed back.
Or the Roadster 2.0
Or Tesla Semi that was delivered after a 4 year delay
No matter how much cheaper these new batteries are to produce, it's highly doubtful that manufacturers will pass those savings down to us!
Why not? If they want to sell more cars they have to make them more attainable.
If they don't, and once ICE is banned, they'll lose an awful lot of sales.
Yeah, I approve of this being an uneducated guess
Some will, some wont. Depends on the badge.
Given EVs even right now are being subsidized by ICE cars manufacturers sell, I would say you are closer to the truth many people will admit. Once ICEs are banned in Europe, that subsidy will not be there anymore and the EVs will jump up in price.
@@Shadow66090 Well ... In 20 years then?

Oh don’t you dare 🤦♀️
That would be the ONLY way I would ever drive an electric car. If they somehow made it manual.
It is an absolutely beautiful car, and like the first one, it's not built for any NEEDS, but for wants. Ive wanted someone to throw a manual gearbox in an ev since the craze began, if you want me to buy an EV this is a step in the right direction. Its definitely a way to give the soul-less EV's a little more life to them
@EnriqueThieleno that’s not why electric cars don’t need a second gear and your completely wrong about the torque curve ever heard of back emf ? Electric motors have instant torque keep that torque for a while and then it drops down
If you convert to EV a car you can keep the gears
@EnriqueThiele i know they arent needed, but its more engaging for the driver to have them, thats why i said "it wasnt built for needs, it was built for wants"
0 logic
@carlosandleon screw logic, i want a fun car, not a efficient car
3:26 "without suddenly bursting into flames" We all see what you did there hahah
I drove a electrified Lotus Elise with a manual already 20 years ago. Such a thrill. The engine was making a lot of noise and the gearbox did really speed up the acceleration (first was faster then 4th for example). But you could drive away in 4th if you would like. I found it such a cool thing, despite in these days electric cars feel so boring to me.
You mean you drove a Tesla?
@@samwiseknows No. A Detroit electric (Dutch company, dont know if they still exists) Elise. They converted conventional cars to electric onces.
@@CAR_NL And what's so thrilling about driving a electric car? let alone one with a 'manual transmission'
@@jordikorthals003 well, it was a lightweight car, with an ev engine that actually made a lot of sound. The combination of an EV engine with a manual gearbox was quite cool. When you let up the clutch there was directly so much torque... Cool experience
No no great sound and guaranteed weighed more unless it had only 50 miles of range lol

For reallll
@@hodb3906 bro why you on youtube shouldn't you be paying attention in class

Exciting to see Toyota/Lexus use solid-state batteries. But I wonder when will this actually make it to production?
Solid state batteries are famously “always 5 years away”. I am also thoroughly unconvinced that Nissan has it in them to bring those specs to reality.
My dream car is the original LFA, I don't think they should replace it. The original is better in so many ways too, it looks better, sounds better, and can't be replaced.
It was unique, but Lexus may just use the name as a halo name plate. They may just feel different than you
Yeah I'll believe the solid state battery when I see it... no one is near them at the moment and this fluff piece from Toyota and Car Wow are pure concept!
Hey just buy a busload of capacitors and you're done.
Found the moronic comment from the person who didn't actually watch the video. Go ahead tell us about all the time you've spent in their research/development labs, we'll wait...
Or they could just partner with byd and put a blade battery on a lfa🤟
@@cenciende9401 I found the moronic comment from someone who thinks they know it all. I have worked as an auto's analyst for decades, Toyota is still pushing the ides of Fuel Cells (which by the way they have been working on and promising for over 20 years) and has only recently tilted into full BEV's when they realised everyone else was and that was where the market was going. Now you think they have access to a mass manufactured, relatively cheap Solid State battery technology out of the blue when others (and yes even Tesla) are not actively talking about it? Toyota for all its size and might have never been the a great innovator, what they are is a great iterator of other's ideas and concepts.
@@heenalp77 true for all legacy auto though. Only tesla and a handful of Chinese EV makers will survive and thrive in 5-10 years. Legacy auto goes the way of Kodak, sears, travel agencies, blockbuster, yellow taxis....
Amazing to see the experience of driving an ICE being preserved and holding thumbs that solid state batteries are able to improve the power storage to weight ratio as much as is physically possible.
Chisato Nishikigi's reaction when looking at this new LFA with 10-minute charge be like: 😍
Great video Matt and I'm delighted to see what Toyota and Lexus are up to. The solid state battery technology they're working on will be a huge step forward for EV's. I drove Toyota and Lexus cars for over 25 years before having to move to Hyundai for my first EV a couple of years ago. I really hope they can get their new range of EV's, (with or without the solid state batteries), to market soon as I will definitely be interested in them.
Battery technology may be great and all but the car has lost its soul the most fundamental part of the car it’s engine I really wish we could have them around for a little longer!
Drove Toyota/Lexus for 25 years and then changed it for a EV Hyundai 💀💀
Wow, this opens my mind to incredible opportunities for electric motors to mimic any type of ICE engine's power characteristics. This coupled with Harris's talk about placing any body on an electric chassis would equal endless builds. Here's hoping...
There's just something inherently pure about a well built ICE engine. Nothing to knock EV sports cars, they are just mind melting in terms of speed and handling. But for someone who says they aren't connected to a stick shift ICE classic sports car with the windows open and the real induction and exhaust sound of actual mechanical parts interacting, they just don't get it. Same as with people who love horses, there is a relationship we petrolheads form with a real stick shift ICE car other's just don't get. It doesn't have to be fossil fuel either, E85-100 and synthfuels are fine also. There is just that connection between man and machine that can't be broken for some of us.
By the way my daily commuting appliance is an EV, my track day car is and will always be a stick shift ICE car.
The electric manual gearbox is just what I needed to cure my depression.. It literally makes me tingle.
Between solid-state batts and GalNi/Gallium tech in general, electric cars have a more and more promissing future. Plus i think instead of "taking the soul/nuances/differences" away from different cars, itll allow us to focus on them even more outside the power train. If every car accelerates with similar torque/hp, weight, balance, traction, steering, etc all matter that much more. Plus im very excited to see what homebrew/DIY people do with EVs as time goes on, knowing what the tech hobby is like itll be crazy lol.
Nothing can be better than the LFA.. No matter what they make..
Considering that's a completely subjective and open statement, sure
It would be dope if Toyota decided to make the Lexus LFA a hybrid with a V10 to pay homage to the original with the new solid state battery technology. It would make a very great sounding sports car with amazing performance to match.
I will be absolutely livid if they don't
@@bottomtext593 right I don’t understand why they would not go out with a bang… it would be like Ferrari deciding to bring the F40 back and instead of putting the beautiful sounding V8 which made it famous with a little modern performance added they turn it fully electric with no soul at all killing it’s fan base… if your going to end it then go fully out and make the best V10 hybrid electric LFA the market has ever seen put it in the history books as one of the greatest cars ever made.
the brz shifter in the thumbnail lol
These batteries will be huge in the surron community. Imagine you buy a new bike today, and by the time the battery starts to go bad you can swap in a new battery that's the same size, weighs less, and gives you more range.
Toyota is really on fire lately 🔥🔥
that sounded more like a reading of a Toyota/Lexus press release, rather than the usual carwow video, where we get to see how close the vehicles are (or are not) to the manufacturers claims.
I was listening carefully for the "might" and "planning to ... in the future" and "hope to be able" because so much of that is still in development or testing, not in mass production.
I guess we will have to come back to this video in a couple of years and see how much of it happened, and how much was Toyota hype to try to stop their loyal customers moving to other brands.
Now this is what i am talking about and finally car manufactures are listening to proper old school drivers that lived all there lives driving manual gearbox cars.
This car is the only electric car i would be interested in because it has imitation clutch and gearbox, similar to what you get with a PC racing setup. for real most good quality PC racing hardware like direct drive force feedback wheels, pedals, gear shifters are better quality and feel then most average road cars.
solid state battery's is what's needed for a long time.
great video Matt.
Great video but I couldn’t get the image of Peter Serafinowicz doing an impression of Neil Morrissey on 8 out of 10 cats does countdown hearing you talk! Actually made it more enjoyable 😂
The V10 Is Gone But At Least It Ain’t a Crossover
I don't care how impracticable a manual gearbox in an EV is, the potential fun factor just seems worth it to me, at least in sport EVs
When a sentence starts with "I dont care how impractical" it should be ignored.
@@slowhondaenjoyer6746 You aren't wrong, hah. I was maybe a bit red-faced when I typed this out, but I stand by the basic sentiment!
A manual transmission in an electric car can and should be done for fun *and* giving traditional ICE drivers that feel that they expect, at least on some models, maybe not every EV.
@@slowhondaenjoyer6746 as a fellow slow Honda enjoyer, I have a TSX, whats your poison? just curious, and I hope you are having a good one!
@@kaylzshter6153 All in good fun lol. I just dont care for the idea of manual electrics and EVs as an effective solution to transportation emissions. My poison is a 2012 Si on a bit of the boost juice! Realy hope you're enjoying your K24 as much as I am mine.
Nothing can replace the sound on a natural v10
Its great that battery tech is continually improving but what is the expected cycle life and capacity degradation of this new SSB?
one day a company is going to make an environmentally friendly combustion fuel that works in existing combustion engines and save the game for everyone
one day 🙏
I hope they succeed and that Toyota becomes the king of EV’s. And that Porsche becomes the pionier in alternative e-fuel🤞🏻
Corvette and Porsche, E85 and synthfuels, for keeping soulful ICE sports cars on the road. I just wish these high end cars kept stick shift.
I hope so but Toyota wont. Porsche might but toyota has already taken too long. They literally spew this solid state fairytale every year in hopes you’ll hang onto your petrol for a little longer waiting.
whatever that convertible was in the animation, they build that, im sold!
I really like the new LFA concept, just wish they would call it something other than the LFA because it seems like an entirely different car to me and without the signature v10 engine, should it even be considered a LFA 🤔
The V10 is the main reason this car is still talked about.
It's like making a Mazda RX9 without a rotary...
The LFA replacement better have a V10 too or some sort of engine. For me it will ruint it a bit not having a beautiful sound coming from its exhaust
You only associate the farting and grumbling of thousands of contained fossil fuel explosions per second with power and performance because of the times you grew up in.
In a decade petrolheads will be like people rhapsodizing over the hiss of a steam engine or fetishizing the smell and sweat of a racehorse.
Good informative video. However, there might be talks about solid state batterie for at least 5 years... I hope Toyota have made real advances about this. And I hope they won't ditch the idea to make a not too heavy electric sports car ! All those heavy SUVs are so boring...
Matt’s chemistry degree is really paying off in this video 😂
I didn't know he's a chemist🤣
I still can’t get over that new MK2. Such a sick design. Hope they stick to the concept. Toyotas car are no longer boring. Finally❤
Correct me if I'm wrong, but matt mentioned how the lithium batteries lose a bit of maximum charge capacity each charge cycle, but he didn't say whether or not the new solid-state batteries would hold their maximum capacity forever or at least lose capacity at a far less rate. Does anyone know if the new batteries do solve this problem?
All batteries will degrade over time. From what I’ve heard about solid state batteries in testing, there are some that will have an exponentially slower rate of degradation to the point of allowing the batteries to be reused after the vehicle itself can no longer work. The life cycle of the battery will have the potential to outlast the vehicle multiple times over. How much that changes when it makes it to production is my big question but overall it seems to have more upsides than downsides
Oh poor lfa what have they done to u
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO THOUGHT IT
I was SURE that you could modify the torque delivery of an electric motor !!!!!!!!!
And I was shocked that none had done yet too !
What a time to own a toyota i tell ya ❤️ Toyota is in their prime rn no other car manufacturer can compete period.
Because the rebadge good cars from other manufacturers, GR Yaris is a Mazda, GR Zupra is a BMW, GR 86 is a Subaru, a GR Celica will probably just be a WRX coupe, the only "sport car" they make is the GR Corolla. I mean it's a brilliant move on their part, send another car makers chassis to the GR tuner shop, slap a nostalgic name on it and take the buyers to the bank.
key word: "In Development"!!!
that's 2 words.
Gearboxes for electric cars is like vegan burgers, you are just trying to immitate a flavour but youll never be able to replace it
some of those veggie burgers are pretty damn tasty bro!
We will see. If properly executed, it might be really hard to tell the difference especially if they model the torque curve of various ICE engines. Anway even if not quite as good, I fully welcome any kind of a manual in an EV, it means someone is thinking of preserving the driving engagement factor for future cars!
@@alangil40 but the thing is, internal combustion comes as a package, you have a gearbox because its part of a larger mechanism that we are in love with, you cant just take a part of it (sound or gearbox) and shove it into a souless electric car and call it a day... it will never entice real petrol heads. Ill use an other example, its like a battery watch and a mechanical watch, sure the battery watch is more accurate nd reliable, but nobody here is begging rolex to make a battery watch, it will never happen, ever!
@@maartenvanbrakel2570 - While my hope is that it will eventually be good enough to be hard to tell the difference, I am not saying it will be as good as the real thing (especially at first). I say this as a lifelong manual driver with 3 manuals in my garage. But if there are going to be EVs alongside combustion powered cars then it's a good thing that the EVs will also try to up the engagement factor. So this development is still very much a positive in my opinion.
That would be a good example iif Veggie burgers were tastier.
Electric cars are better performance wise now, and only getting better.
ICE as we know if is dead unless some company like Liquid Engine manages to get their rotrary diesel to work longer than a few hundred hours.
Which would be awesome if they did. I don't hate ICE. Just that it is a dead end.
The new LFA looks like a current Supra and a RS E-Tron GT had a child.
Yes finally, someone was thinking what I was hoping for with an electric with a manual👍. Just because it’s more fun. Never want to drive a automatic. Now they just need to put it in a cheaper sports car.

I'm predicting that I own a full EV Lexus by 2030. Actually maybe not, I'm not going to predict the management company for my flat install chargers by 2090, even with their extortionate chargers...I'll make do with a Porsche for now 😄

So once this becomes mainstream tech, all the existing EVs lose their value overnight.
Stupid comment
Toyota is going to be selling this in an expensive supercar, because the cost will be high and the production volume low for years.
A 100+ mile range plug-in with same weight of battery as before would be great.

To charge a 100kwh battery from 10 to 80% in 10 minutes would require close to 600kwh charging capabilities. Thats insane... I sure hope that happens, but nothing is close to that yet. However... At 350kwh in 20 minutes is still pretty dang good!
I think you need to recheck your math. 10-80% on a 100kwh battery is 70kwh. A 350kw charger, at theoretical max, does 70kwh in 12 minutes. But realistically, would be slower depending on temperature and other factors. A 450kw charger may get there.
@@deansmits006 I think you're also assuming perfect efficiency and peak charging 100% of the time. Neither of which are possible. Typically higher capacity chargers charge at lower efficiency which may be closer to 80/85%. Secondly, due to heating constraints of the charger and battery, chargers fluctuate from peak to lower than peak to ensure safety and may in reality average out closer to 200kwh over the charging period. Perhaps solid state will make these numbers a bit better but I wouldn't be surprised if 20minutes is probably pretty close to the estimate for charging 70kwh with current 350kwh chargers. I agree though, 450kwh may get very close to 12 minutes.
Folks, learn the difference between kW (power) and kW•h (energy). As the units of the latter suggest, energy is power for some amount of time; for example delivering 35 kW for 10 hours. There's no such thing as a 350 kWh charger.
@@skierpage I am well aware of that, no need to be arrogant. All the math I presented still works. The only error was forgetting to take the "h" off...
Always wondered why they didn't give them a gear box to help the range
Judy one example of different ways of doing things. I think the reason Porsche has a gearbox is for acceleration gains under 50mph. Not range
Solid state batteries will probably come to mobile phones first and I look forward to better battery life and longevity.
tht new lfa looks super cool
It may not be an LFA successor nor should be called one (which I agree with by 100%), but I don't mind this... Looks cool, not sure about the electric manual stick but we'll see if it'll actually function. Also I'm aware that anti-electric car beef is incoming...
First time I actually get excited for electric cars and maybe bikes in the future.
