据传雷克萨斯正在开发第二代LFA超跑。虽然雷克萨斯表示未来不会有第二款LFA，但现在日本网站爆出的消息将改变这一情况。据说，雷克萨斯正在开发全新LFA，该车将在2019年东京车展亮相。预计该车将搭载3.7升V8混动系统，综合功率达到588千瓦/800马力。如果真是这样，意味着，新一代LFA尽管搭载的是V8而非V10引擎，但功率比现行版增加了240马力。同样，新引擎排量也比老款车搭载的4.8升V10降低了1.1升至3.7升。更重要的是，由于搭载了排量更小引擎并有混动系统提供辅助动力，新车燃油经济性将有大幅提升。如果雷克萨斯真的在开发新款LFA，预计其概念版将在2017或2018年亮相。

 

All aboard the hype train with new 800-hp Lexus LFA rumor

A report originating from Japan suggests Lexus is preparing a second-gen LFA supercar.

 

On numerous occasions, we’ve heard Lexus saying there won’t be another LFA in the foreseeable future, but that might change if we were to rely on a new report issued by Japanese website Response . Those folks say that Lexus is indeed cooking up a brand new LFA which will allegedly be introduced at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show.

 

Our Japanese is a bit rusty, but using Google Translate we managed to find out the car is expected to come with a hybridized 3.7-liter V8 engine delivering a massive 800 horsepower (588 kilowatts). If that turns out to be true, it means the new LFA will be 240 hp more powerful than its predecessor, even though it will have only eight cylinders as opposed to the original model that packed a mighty V10.

 

Displacement will be down by 1.1 liters from the ten-cylinder’s 4.8 liters to the eight-cylinder’s 3.7 liters. Not like it matters a lot on a supercar, but fuel economy will likely be vastly improved thanks to the smaller combustion engine and the hybrid assistance.

 

If by any chance the rumor coming from the Land of the Rising Sun is indeed true, perhaps Lexus will tease the second-gen LFA with a concept in 2017 or 2018. Here’s hoping that it will happen.
