Press Release
Body = The 2007 Lexus GS 450h is the world's first hybrid luxury
sedan and the first full hybrid vehicle with a front engine and
rear wheel drive.
'Once again,
we've applied our formula of no compromise engineering - this time
to a luxury sport sedan which proves to us that hybrid power trains
can work superbly in virtually any application,' said Lexus Vice
President of Marketing Mark Templin. 'It's very important to continue
pursuing substantial reductions in fuel consumption and emissions,
while continuing to improve performance and driving pleasure. Our
customers wouldn't have it any other way.
It will be
a rear wheel drive full hybrid making it able to travel at low speeds
under electric propulsion alone. Lexus says the GS 450h will have
gas mileage
similar to the average 2-liter, 4-cylinder compact sedan.
The Lexus GS
450h is a Super Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle. A SULEV-rated vehicle
is 90% cleaner than the average new car.
The GS 450h
will have a 3.5-liter V6 engine combined with a high-output electric
motor--all driving the rear wheels--to pack horsepower at the level
of a V8 engine. Lexus says it will have horsepower equivalent to
a 4.5 liter V8. 0-60 acceleration is expected to be less than 6
seconds. For perspective, the 2006 GS 430 has a 4.3-liter V8 that
has 300 horsepower.
It's built on
the GS 430 platform and offers similar standard equipment and options,
including a sunroof and perforated leather seats. It is visually
identical to the GS 430, except for a large air dam on the front
bumper to cool the electric motor, a power meter on the dashboard
instead of an odometer, and 18-inch light-alloy wheels.
Hybrid technology,
driving dynamics, motoring comfort and generous space inside redefines
the new Lexus GS450h. Featuring more powerful and fuel efficient
engines, innovative assistance systems, a wide range of safety features,
as well as a superior standard of equipment, the new Toyota Lexus
of today need no less than superior BMW replacement parts when the
need arises.
