Lexus unveiled the all new LS 600h luxury saloon at the New York Auto Show today, marking another major advance in the development of its hybrid power model range. The LS 600h is the world’s first vehicle to feature a full hybrid V8 power train, featuring a combination of a 5.0-litre petrol engine and two high output electric motors.
The Lexus Hybrid Drive system in the LS 600h is a further development of the technology already used to great effect in the RX 400h and GS 450h. It combines an all-new 5.0-litre V8 petrol engine with large, high-output motors and a new large capacity battery pack. To harness the system’s prodigious power and ensure excellent handling stability, the LS 600h uses a new mechanical all-wheel drive system.
The LS 600h also benefits from a new dual-stage electronically controlled, continuously variable transmission, ensuring smooth, linear power delivery and an impressive turn of speed for overtaking manoeuvres. Low noise and vibration levels are characteristic of the hybrid power train and the LS 600h are set to define new standards for quiet running in the luxury saloon class. To help achieve this, the vehicle’s accessory motors and switches have also been re-engineered. The result will be one of the quietest automobiles ever built.
Lexus is America’s top-selling luxury brand for sixth consecutive year. Lexus has announced a new partnership agreement with one of the world’s leading sporting events, while also revealing a sponsorship deal with one of Britain’s top rugby clubs. Southern California's automobile assembly and tire manufacturing plants are history, but the auto industry remains a major economic influence in the region and around the world, according.
Fertured Club cars Alan Partridge may have tried his best to trash Lexus rep with the Lexuses or Lexi debate but IS200 man Zaheer Ladak is fighting back for Toyota’s binging halo brand.
