With its superior environmental and safety performance, the new Lexus LS600hL satisfies the increasing new demands of the 21st century car which is in harmony with human life as well as the environment.
'We expect a remarkable success for this new model, as it comes to answer the demand of customers who want to experience driving a unique car. The LS600hL is considered to be a quantum leap in automotive technology, for the unprecedented power, quietness and control it offers' said Mr. Ismail H. Akbar, The Executive General Manager of Sales in Ebrahim K. Kanoo.
Hybrid systems are either mild or full. In mild hybrids, the engine is generally the major power source and must be turned on to operate the vehicle while the electric motors assist the engine, which helps reduce the sound of the engine and increase fuel efficiency to some extent. In full hybrid systems, the engine noise level is substantially reduced and the fuel efficiency levels are much higher since power is generated from both the engine and the electric motor.
Outstanding performance, overwhelming quietness, powerful acceleration and exceptional environmental performance all unite in the Lexus LS600hl. The Lexus Hybrid Drive combines two different power sources; a 5.0 liter V8 newly developed gasoline engine and a high output compact electric motor to deliver the power of a V12 engine with the efficiency of a V6 engine. The all-wheel-drive (AWD) Electronically Controlled Variable Transmission (ECVT) is designed to handle the massive 438 HP of the V8 engine and the electric motor and to provide seamless acceleration.
Powerful, smooth and quiet, the LS600hL delivers a driving experience that is both rewarding and engaging. The Lexus Hybrid Drive gauges and monitors enable the driver to observe the status of the hybrid power-train in real time through an indicator that is located within the instrument panel. By monitoring the ECO Driving Indicator, the driver can know whether his driving style is economical or not. Also, setting the vehicle to run on the EV (Electric Vehicle) Drive Mode makes it run on electric power alone for a period of time at slow speeds.
Not only technology sets the LS600hL apart from other cars, it is designed so that you can enjoy the time spent in it to the fullest extent. This is an approach that is evident in the crafting of the interior elements, where Lexus has been unstinting in its use of handpicked materials from around the world. The LS600hL offers the personal comforts, luxury amenities and refined touches that ensure every trip is a special pleasure. It features a Rear Seat Relaxation System with an advanced rear seat entertainment system that is integrated into the back of the centre console box.
The new Lexus LS600hL was launched yesterday at the Lexus Showroom in Sitra. Everybody is welcome to experience the world's first full luxury hybrid. For more information, please call 17730730.
