www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday May 23, 2007 - 25 2008 Lexus LS 600h L - hybrid power meets motoring luxury By Rob Beintema OAKVILLE BEAVER SPECIAL Lexus of Canada recently announced the luxury automaker's most sophisticated flagship vehicle to date - the 2008 Lexus LS 600h L hybrid-powered, all-wheel drive, long-wheelbase prestige luxury sedan. The Lexus LS 600h L marries the Lexus Hybrid Drive's performance with contemporary style, unique comfort and convenience features, and the Lexus reputation for quality design and manufacture. It's fair to say that - to our knowledge - there is nothing on the road or on the drawing board that comes close to delivering such a formerly contradictory combination of jaw-dropping engine performance, fuel efficiency and low emissions, î said Stuart Payne, Director responsible for Lexus in Canada. Combine this with Lexus reputation for quality and service for our guests, the L-finesse approach to uncompromised, contemporary luxury, and an attention to detail that's second-tonone, and the LS 600h L is quite simply in a class by itself.î Building upon the success of the 2007 Lexus LS 460L, which has enjoyed steadily increasing sales since its introduction to Canada in November, the 2008 LS 600h Lcombines top-flight performance, a new level of meticulous detail and polished excellence, hospitable comfort, and leading edge automotive technology. The world's first fullhybrid V8 AWD powertrain features an all-new 5.0-litre V8 engine coupled with large, high-output electric motors and a newly designed large-capacity battery pack to deliver performance on par with a V12. The blended power is rated at up to 438 HP and up to 385 lbft of torque. At the same time, this Lexus Hybrid Drive system achieves remarkable V6 fuel efficiency while generating a fraction of the emissions of a conventionally powered vehicle. A new dual stage, electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (CVT) allows the driver to select one of three acceleration response modes and choose engine brake force from eight different ranges. The transmission also fea- tures a two-stage motor speed reduction planetary gear unit that delivers impressively powerful yet comfortable acceleration at any speed. The luxuriously appointed 2008 Lexus LS 600h Lis equipped with many luxury, comfort and convenience features, including the Lexus Advanced Parking Guidance System, which assists the driver in parallel parking or backing into a parking space; power assist doors; 16-way power adjustable drivers seat; available rear seat cooler box; a hard disc-based navigation system with voice recognition; a back-up camera; push-button start; and available milliwave radar cruise control system. An available executive package, includes a rear ottoman seat; reclining rear seat; multi-function rearseat massage system; and 4zone independent climate control system with body temperature sensors. The executive package also features a leather-covered instrument panel, leather-covered door panels, and an available rear-seat DVD entertainment system with 9î LCD monitor and two sets of wireless headphones that sets a new standard for in-vehicle entertainment experiences. Master machinists listen to each completed engine using a stethoscope to search for minute yet abnormal noises and ensure the completed engine is properly balanced. And a takumi (artistic craftsman) water-polishes each vehicle by hand between paint coatings, to achieve the ultimate in smooth finishes. The LS 600h L is a new icon for the Lexus brand - a state-of-the-art image of style, technical advancement, and performance second to none,î Mr. Payne continued. It's the perfect vehicle for Canadians ready to enjoy new levels of performance, style and safety.î The 2008 Lexus LS 600h L has a suggested retail price of $132,000. The LS 600h L with Executive Package has a suggested retail price of $158,700. Both versions of the LS Hybrid go on sale in the summer of 2007. The new 2008 Lexus LS 600h L adds long-wheelbase comfort to Lexus Hybrid Drive's performance in this top=ofthe-line model.
