2020 Lexus LF-30 Electrified Concept

Lexus will unveil its first full-electric production vehicle next month to challenge prestige EV rivals, slated to go on sale in 2020.

The announcement came as its LF-30 Electrified concept car was shown at the Tokyo motor show, a 400kW/700Nm gull-wing four-seater with all-electric range of 500km and 0-100km/h time of 3.8 seconds.
A large and imposing grand tourer over 5-metres long, it features in-wheel electric motors, autonomous driving capability and a steer-by-wire system, removing mechanical connection to the wheels.
With a high-torque electric motor at each wheel, the concept adopts what Lexus calls its Advanced Posture Control technology. This brings completely independent control of each wheel, meaning it can serve as a front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive machine.
