Lexus LS600h 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

Looks very nice, but I thought that for $75 K roughly the G-class hybird was expensive i can only imagine what this will cost. I don't think hybirds are worth the money yet and i mean if u want it to be so efficent why are you stil using a 5L V-8, that's obviously way more power then any luxury sedan needs.
Anyone got pics of the LED headlamps??

it makes a mockery of the whole philosophy of energy conservation.

The cooler should be at least 3 inches deeper because I doubt anyone who can afford this car prefers canned beer.

Finally after a period of ugly cars, Lexus is starting to get back on track with this and the latest GS. Hopefully they'll remedy the ugliness of the current SC in its next iteration.
The new IS is pretty nice too, it just needs a manual available with the bigger engine.

People would love this car if nobody told them it was a hybrid.

Luxury is all its glory... Those rear seats makes buying a house superfluous.
