Lexus's second hybrid vehicle. Goes on sale in the, Spring of 2006.
Will have a 3.5-liter V6 engine, with a permanent magnet motor. 0-96 km/h in under 6 seconds. 300 horsepower. The gas mileage will be similar to the average 2-liter, 4-cylinder compact sedan (25-30 mpg). SULEV emissions, means its 90% cleaner then average new cars.
Price, starting at probably $80,000 - $85,000 canadian. |

Hopefully, Toyota releases their sportcar hybrid. Supposably going to have 400 hp.
I cant wait to see other luxury car makers use hybrid vehicles.
Lexus hopefully will switch their whole fleet to hybrid vehicles in the next coming years.
One thing Infiniti would be awesome with hybrid vehicles. |

All carbon fiber chassis
408 HP output, top speed limited at 250 km/h
0 to 100 km in 4.03 seconds

$72,000 USD was the target price for them
as for 20mpg...yeah...I think it will do slightly better than the uber-awesome economy of a Hummer :haha: |

all these prototype hybrid cars seem too good to be true, by the time they pass all the national system requierements they dont look anything like the photos you see a couple of years in advance...
the BMW hydrogen 750hl is a sick economical car...

it should be comming out soon
its just very expensive to make liquid hydrogen, but it creates 0 pollution, theres only water vapor that comes out of the exhaust |

I know GM is coming out with a hydrogen car soon. |

Yeah...they have been pumping the HyWire for a long time now.
I doubt if it will actually get produced in it's current form.
It will probably just end up as a Cavalier with a Ballard system thrown in it :stongue: |
