Lexus plans to present its new
LS 600h all-wheel-drive limousine with a hybrid drivetrain during the upcoming international motor show in Paris, France. The Japanese company will actually present two AWD limos simultaneously: the 'normal'
Lexus LS 600h and its
Lexus LS 600h L sibling with 12 cm longer wheelbase.
Posted by: nektotigra on 26/08/06 Both
Lexus LS 600h and the
LS 600h L are equipped with the same V8 5.0-liter engine coupled with a hybrid powertrain. The pair jointly produces a maximum power output of 450 DIN horsepower and lets the cars run 100 kilometers on just 9.5 liters of gasoline in a combined cycle (that's about 30 mpg) keeping CO2 emission level below 220 g/km. The power has been transferred to the wheels via the latest electronically controlled, continuously variable transmission (E-CVT), WorldCarFans.com is
reporting.
Prices and technical info will be available later.
