The Lexus LF-A, one of the
world’s most eagerly anticipated
supercars, will be presented for
the first time in the UK at the
British International Motor
Show.
Lexus’s market-leading
achievements in hybrid power
technology will also be
represented by the GS 450h, RX
400h and the flagship LS 600h
limousine, models which form the
world’s most comprehensive range
of hybrid vehicles.
Lexus’s ambitions for the LF-A
are clear: to build a supercar
with world class performance
that is uniquely Lexus. Since
the first LF-A concept was
unveiled in 2005, the project
has made significant progress;
most recently the car was on
public view, competing in the
Nürburgring 24 Hours race as
part of its on-going development
programme.
Reports also suggest Lexus are
to build a
hybrid version of its LF-A supercar.
It'll likely house a hybrid powertrain similar to the one in the 600h saloon, that is, a
5-litre V8 with continuously-variable transmission coupled to an
electric motor and battery package.
Lexus is also displaying its
complete range of hybrid power
models. The RX 400h SUV, GS 450h
executive sports saloon and
flagship LS 600h limousine
represent the successful
application of innovative but
robust technology to deliver the
power and performance premium
segment customers expect with
environmental efficiency through
reduced exhaust emissions and
fuel consumption.
Lexus continues to lead the
global automotive industry by
offering the most comprehensive
line-up of hybrid vehicles of
any manufacturer. |
