2008 LEXUS LS 600H L
Lexus has unveiled the LS600h L, "a performance
hybrid version of its new flagship sedan" at the
2006 New York International Auto Show. Scheduled
to arrive in Spring 2007, it will be the world's
first vehicle of any class or category to
feature a full hybrid V8 powertrain.
The LS 600h will combine an all-new five-litre
V8 gas engine with combined massive, high-output
electric motors and a newly designed
large-capacity battery pack. It will deliver a
peak, combined output of more than 430
horsepower. As a SULEV-rated (Super Low
Emissions) vehicle, LS600h is estimated to
produce just 20 per cent of the smog-forming
emissions of a conventional five-litre V8. Power
is delivered to the wheels via a 2-stange ECVT
transmission. It also has the first LED front
headlights of any production vehicle.
