Lexus could get its own version of the next-gen Toyota Supra

The Lexus version could replace the discontinued RC and the current LC models.

The Toyota Supra has been one of the most popular sports cars with enthusiasts worldwide. While the current-gen GR Supra is nearing the end of its seven-year production run, Toyota has already confirmed that a new version is in the works. However, an interesting piece of news coming in from Japan is that the new Supra could have a Lexus twin.

According to Japanese media outlet BestCar, the Lexus version could replace the discontinued RC and the current LC models. While the new GR Supra will be a two-seater, the Lexus model will be a 2+2 to differentiate between the two. A convertible version is also a possibility. Also, the Lexus could feature more luxury on the interior.

Both the models are expected to be powered by Toyota’s new 2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a self-charging hybrid system. Power will be sent to the rear wheels via an 8-speed or 10-speed automatic transmission. It will also use a high-strength, lightweight carbon propeller shaft.

The new Supra is expected to make its debut in 2026 or 2027. The Lexus version could follow soon after.
