Top Luxury Cars - The Ultimate Performance of Lexus LS 600h

Lexus is the luxury division of Toyota. Lexus LS 600h is a hybrid luxury car produced by the division in 2007. The vehicle is a classy luxury sedan with the classic sleek features of all the Lexus predecessors and the hybrid power engine that enhances fuel efficiency and promotes environmental sustainability. A hybrid engine combines petrol and electricity as sources of power. 

Lexus LS 600h gives superior performance. The maximum speed for the four-wheel drive is 155 mph with acceleration from zero to 62 mph in only about 6.3 seconds. Now, that is class. 

The car comes with a 5-liter V8 engine along with an electric motor. The electric motor increases the output of the car by another 50 bhp. This means that the car has super efficiency. The gasoline prices go way down with this model. Of course, this is a luxury car so you do not buy it for a dime though. 

Being a luxury car, the ride does not compromise on the quality of your driving experience or your experience of travelling in this car. It is one smooth and quiet ride that makes you feel like you are gliding on the roads. This is perhaps the calmest ride in the whole world because of the Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) improvements in the car because of putting in the hybrid engine. 

The performance of the car is indeed ultimate in every sense. The car very intelligently and automatically switches between petrol and electric power. At low speeds and start-up, the engine runs solely on electric power. This has virtually no carbon dioxide emissions and very quiet running. The acceleration is also smooth and rapid. Both the power sources work together whenever a spurt of speed is needed and the car itself promoting maximum petrol conservation carefully controls fuel usage and hence, fuel efficiency. 

Moreover, this car comes with ingenious and thoughtful safety technologies. It offers all around air bag protection so that not only the driver but also all the passengers are cushioned to avoid sustaining high impact injuries. There is advanced headlight technology and advanced obstacle detection technology that further reduces the risk of high impact accidents. It also houses a unique driver assistance system.

When we are talking luxury, it is all about the comfort and joy of driving in the vehicle. This model provides both. It includes reclining seats with footrests and ample leg space for the passengers. The sound system of the car cocoons you with the melodies as sound vibrates through many crevices and into the car cabin. The acoustics are supreme and offer maximum experience of the sound. 

There is even a second DVD changer near the back seats for the passengers to use and play their personalised music, as they want it. There is even an infrared body heat sensing climate control system that controls the temperature for the passengers travelling in the rear seats. Now, if that is not ultimate luxury, what is?
