Lexus announced in 2021 that it would be making a spiritual successor to the Lexus LFA, one of its most popular performance cars with a screaming V10. While the model may still be a few years away, Toyota Motor Corporation and, by extension, Lexus have filed a new trademark application for the “LFA” word mark in August with the US Patent and Trademark Office.
