Lexus has brought the LC500h to its Geneva Motor Show stand in the fabulous shade of blue it was originally revealed in online.
A quick look through the photo gallery of this article will show the fact that the color looks even better than expected, as does the multi-stage hybrid from the Japanese brand. Lexus’s LC500h is a hybrid coupe that focuses on performance without skimping on efficiency.
The car features a unique hybrid system, which includes a 3.5-liter V6 engine mated to a powerful electric motor. Lexus’s latest creation uses a four-speed automatic transmission fitted behind the conventional hybrid transmission to provide excellent performance.
Don’t judge this car by the fact that it has a four-speed gearbox, as the latter is used to provide an engaging driving experience and simulates more gears with the help of the hybrid transmission.
Lexus’s LC500h promises its customers a 0-100 km/h (62 MPH) time of less than five seconds. This would make the new coupe the fastest hybrid ever made by the Japanese company. Furthermore, the new hybrid version of the Lexus LC Coupe prides itself on having a new platform, optimized to achieve a low weight with high rigidity.
The new premium rear-wheel-drive platform will be used by several Lexus models in the future. Naturally, not all will be available with such a high-performance drivetrain. Until then, Lexus will begin taking orders for the LC500h shortly. The Coupe is expected to bring new customers to the brand, as it is different from the current offering of the premium carmaker owned by Toyota Motor Company.
Since the new hybrid coupe is a Lexus, the car is available in standard form with the Lexus Safety System+. The long name refers to a complex portfolio of active safety technologies that ensure the security of the occupants by avoiding or mitigating a broad range of collisions that could happen in day-to-day traffic situations.
