Carbon Fiber Loom
When it came to developing the Lexus LFA, even the most precise methods of molding carbon fiber weren't precise enough. So, before we could innovate our most advanced vehicle, we had to first create the manufacturing process. Lexus engineers built a circular loom, which, guided by laser sight, is able to seamlessly weave elements of carbon fiber for the LFA's chassis.

Photographic Inspection
Our innovations aren't limited to our vehicles alone. In fact, many of our innovations live on the factory floor. Each vehicle undergoes a three-hour process beginning with six coats of paint. The car then enters a line where a robot, developed by our manufacturing engineers, captures macro photographs of the vehicle's surface. This makes it easier for the 100 inspection agents, at the end of the line, to catch any flaw or inconsistency - even the seemingly invisible ones.

Regenerative Energy
In each of our hybrid vehicles, we've implemented regenerative energy technology. This system captures and stores kinetic energy that would otherwise be lost, then uses it to further power the car. It's just one more way we're constantly creating an even more sustainable vehicle. After all, true sustainability isn't a feature, it's an endless pursuit.
