When the 2008 LS 600h L hybrid luxury sedan launches this
summer it will provide the highest level of performance and technology, and the truest expression of luxury of any Lexus ever created. The hybrid model elevates the LS to a
new level, expanding Lexus and its presence among the ever more discriminating customer.
“The LS 600h L will stand as the flagship for the Lexus brand by providing the highest level of technical advancements, ride comfort, safety and luxury of any vehicle in our lineup,” said Jim Farley, Lexus group vice president and general manager. “Its development process mixed the old and the new. The old, through a Lexus-established build process that achieves an extraordinary fit and finish only attainable by our master craftsmen, and the new with cutting-edge engineering innovations. Through this combination the LS 600h L raises our own quality expectations and may rank among the most technologically advanced automobiles in the industry.”

The all-new LS 600h L will be powered by the ultra-quiet Lexus Hybrid Drive system, the automotive industry’s most advanced gas-electric hybrid system developed
to date that features the world’s first full V8, all-wheel-drive (AWD) hybrid drivetrain.
The system combines a new 5.0-liter V8 gasoline engine with two powerful electric motors and a newly designed large-capacity battery pack that is lighter and extremely
quiet. Together, this advanced combination provides the LS 600h L with an unmatched balance of environmental efficiency and performance.
