European premiere for the Lexus LS 600h
The LS 600h combines a 5.0-litre V8 engine with a hybrid powertrain – hence the ‘h’ suffix – enabling it to comfortably match the performance of even larger capacity normally-aspirated V12 engines. It will make its European debut on the Lexus stand at the Paris Motor Show on 28 September, presented both in standard and long-wheelbase form. The LS 600h L is 12cm longer overall, providing passengers with even more space and additional comfort features, such as reclining rear seats with built-in massage functions and air conditioning that is controlled according to the body temperature of the people on board.

Luxurious Lexus gets super speedy

L-Finesse, Lexus style
Design is increasingly a defining factor in the luxury car market, as differences in performance, reliability and equipment levels between rival models grow smaller. It is a factor that has become highly influential for Lexus in the development of its new generation models, leading to the creation of a new design language, L-finesse.
The sound of perfection
Sound quality has always been a key consideration in the design of Lexus vehicles, from the solid, satisfying thunk of a closing door, to the refined note of the turning engine. It is the quality of the on-board sound system, however, that represents the pinnacle of the aural experience and in the new LS 460 this is taken to new heights.
