2008 Lexus LS 600hL.
Innovation Meets Preservation.

The world's first hybrid V-8 luxury sedan
boasts sumptuous appointments and a
Super Low Emissions Vehicle rating.

The heart of this remarkable vehicle is the Lexus Hybrid
Drive system, combining an all-new 5.0 liter gas engine
with a high-output electronic motor. The LS 600hL sprints
from 0 to 60 in 5.4 seconds and yet emits nearly 70%
fewer smog forming emissions than the "cleanest" of its
competitors. And it is the world's first vehicle to be equipped
with LED headlamps for night and low beam use.

The LS 600hL can be ordered with luxurious amenities
such as a heated and cooled, rear seat massaging recliner
with leg rest. Other notable features include the Lexus
Voice Activated Hard Disc Drive Navigation System with
Bluetooth and XM NavTraffic, an available hands-free park
assist function that virtually handles the chore by itself and
a 19 speaker 450-watt Mark Levinson Reference Surround
Sound Audio System. Safety features include an available
Advanced Pre-Collision System that can even detect
pedestrians in the vehicles path.

Sacrificing performance and comfort on behalf of the
environment is no longer a point of contention.
Call now for an appointment to drive this remarkable
new vehicle.
