This breakthrough hybrid saloon offers outstanding performance, thanks to the combination of a 3.5-litre V6 direct-injection petrol engine and a high-output electric motor. These two power sources work together in an intelligent and seamless partnership to produce acceleration that is both extraordinarily fast and effortlessly smooth. The system produces an output of over 340 Bhp, rivalling that of a conventional V8 engine, but with the economy of a 2.0-litre petrol engine.

"The Lexus goal of realising synergy between mutually contradictory objectives has been taken to its extreme in the GS 450h. However, it was not enough to bring two opposing elements into harmony. The new GS 450h brings four: fuel economy, low emissions, quietness and breathtaking performance."
