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.

Both versions of the limmo are equipped with the same V8 5.0-liter engine coupled with a hybrid power-train.

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).

Prices and technical specification will be available later.
