2008 Lexus LS600HL
May 10th, 2007
The brand new big hybrid from Lexus is unusually fast. When you floor the gas pedal, the tach needle flicks almost instantly at the bidding of the continuously variable transmission to 6000 or more rpm, a point at which the new 5.0-liter V-8 pumps out about 389 horsepower. This is supported by a 221-hp electric motor, and together the two machines send 438 horses to all four wheels through a Torsen center differential.
