Lexus Motorsport

It All Starts at the Circuit

Motorsports provides opportunities for the world’s top carmakers to compete against each other with cars packed with cutting-edge technology.

The roars and smells of these glamorous vehicles permeate the racetrack, awakening something wild and passionate in the spectators sitting in the stands.

Every action of every car—from running to turning and stopping—has been refined and calibrated to the level of a single screw. But the gathered carmakers aren’t there simply to show off the meticulousness of their designs. They also study their rivals to look for new technologies and new approaches to car culture that they can use to shape the future of mobility—more technologically advanced, but also greener. You might say the racetrack is like an enormous lab.

Carmakers are not passive participants of motorsports. They also work tirelessly to grant a wish that many of their customers have—to be able to race in a car built by their favorite brand. This allows carmakers to explore the joy we derive from our cars so they can create vehicles and services for a more gratifying driving experience.

This is what motorsports is about.

Two Sides of the Same Coin

The invigorating sight of a Lexus zooming through town has the power to instantly fill the mind—for just a moment—with images of the passionate, vibrant world of motor racing. The same happens when gripping a Lexus’s steering wheel. The car’s rhythmic vibrations and the pleasing crescendo of its powertrain can conjure images of high-speed racing circuits, adding excitement to the drive.

Design Shaped by The Winds

Motorsports is a global laboratory for the study of aerodynamics. Just as mesmerizing geological formations have been carved by winds over the millennia, so too has the elegant, streamlined form of the motor car been shaped by the wind on the track. But conquering that wind—in the field of aerodynamics—is important for more than just design; it’s essential for speed, safety, and handling as well. It’s a top focus for BEV manufacturers like Lexus, who are driving us toward a world of designs that are one with the wind.
