Lexus dreams up another concept envisioning its electric future The Lexus LF 30 Concept represents the future of the brand’s battery electric vehicles (BEVs). The name stands for Lexus Future, with the 30 celebrating 30 years of Lexus — it seems like just yesterday when the LS 400 rocked the car world and redefined the consumer’s expectation of luxury and reliability. The LF 30 is a futuristic-looking electric car that takes the company’s “spindle” grille and transforms it into the key styling cue for the car. Some of the design is outlandish thinking; other aspects speak to the first Lexus BEV, which will debut this November. The heart of the LF 30 is found in the four in-wheel electric motors that combine to produce 536 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque from rev-one. The go-juice comes from a 110-kWh battery that delivers 500 kilometres of electric-only range. One of the keys to the operating strategy is the Lexus Advanced Posture Control system. It regulates the motors to keep the delivery of power in keeping with the driver’s expectations. As such, it has the ability to drive the front motors, the rear motors or all four motors according to need and/or demand. The layout also gives the LF 30 real-time torque vectoring through the control of the individual motors.
