Japanese company THK might not be widely known, but it is heavily involved in the production of various mechanical components for cars. This explains the THK LSR-05 concept that’s set to make a public debut at the Japan Mobility Show 2023, featuring advanced EV technology developed in-house.
The LSR-05 name combines the initials of “luxury, sport, and revolution” with the number 5 as a nod to the 50th anniversary of THK. The crossover coupe was penned by the independent studio SN Design Platform, headed by former Nissan chief designer, Shiro Nakamura.

The exterior looks modern and close to production, featuring a grille-less face, full-width LEDs, sculpted fenders, discreet cladding around the wheel arches, a sloping roofline, and a Kamm-tail design. The prototype’s length of 4,995 mm (196.7 inches) and width of 1,965 mm (77.4 inches) are very similar to a Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo, but the height of 1,530 mm (60.2 inches) is about 120 mm (4.7 inches) taller.
Inside the four-seater cabin, there is a “stealth seat slide system” which allows the floor to be completely flat. The interior features wooden trim on the suicide doors, combined with a suede-like upholstery that also covers the dashboard. The centerpiece is a single full-width panel housing the infotainment touchscreen, digital instrument cluster, and screens for the mirror-replacing cameras.
High-Tech Underpinnings
The 800V electric powertrain comprises two variable magnetic flux in-wheel motors at the rear producing 125 hp (93 kW / 126 PS) each, and a third electric motor at the front producing an extra 295 hp (220 kW / 299 PS). The company didn’t give us the combined output but the tri-motor system adds up to 544 hp (406 kW / 552 PS). The concept also features four-wheel-steering, electric brakes, and an active suspension utilizing THK’s MR fluid active damper tube. The press release mentions a “contactless power supply system” although it doesn’t get into specifics.
As you might have guessed, the THK LSR-05 is not destined for production, but the technology exhibited by it will most likely find its way into future EVs by other companies. Besides the full-scale prototype, THK will also exhibit a chassis model, providing a better insight into its battery electric underpinnings.
