There's plenty to admire about the Lexus LS600hL.
This is a beautifully crafted, lavishly equipped, highly refined super sedan that Japan can be proud of.
The Lexus LS is the fourth generation of the full-size luxury sedan line.
Development began in 2001, the final V8 models were finalized in late 2003, and the hybrid version was finalized in 2004.

Externally, the Lexus LS received the styling cues of Lexus' new design direction, called L-finesse.
The LS600h L, like the regular LS460, was designed using the L-Finesse design language of Toyota-Lexus Global Design Manager Simon Humphries.

After debuting a hybrid powertrain with the 2005 LF-Sh /Lexus Future-Sedan hybrid./ concept, Lexus began selling the LS 600h L (UVF46) in May 2007, the first V8-powered full-hybrid vehicle in May 2007 for the 2008 in model year.
L-finesse is represented by three Japanese kanji characters, which are translated
Interesting elegance
Bold simplicity
Seamless Foresight
All-wheel drive hybrid models were introduced at the New York International Auto Show in April 2006, the standard-wheelbase LS 600h (UVF45) and the long-wheelbase LS 600h L (UVF46) joined the range in the 2008 model year.

TOKYO, May 17, 2007 ― Lexus today began sales of the flagship LS 600h and LS 600hL hybrid sedans in Japan.
In 2006-2007-2008, it was chosen as the car of the year and the most beautiful car in its category in many parts of the world.
The LS 460 and LS 460 L models are powered by a 4.6-liter UR-series V8 and 8-speed automatic transmission, while hybrid models are powered by a 5.0-liter UR-series V8 with electric motors, a continuously variable transmission and all-wheel drive.
The full hybrid drive system provides similar performance to the 6-liter V12 engine, but at the same time, its consumption is comparable to a sedan with a V6 drive.
According to Lexus engineers, the LS 600h L emits nearly 80 percent cleaner exhaust than the cleanest competitors.
As a SULEV (Super Low Emissions) vehicle, the LS600h L is estimated to produce just 20 percent of the smog-causing pollution of conventional V8 powerplants. The vehicle uses a 2-speed ECVT transmission.

They combine the outstanding performance and environmental standards expected of a next-generation premium vehicle, going beyond the parameters of traditional luxury.
The LS 600h and LS 600hL feature the world's first hybrid system, which combines a 5.0-liter V8 engine, a high-performance electric motor and full-time all-wheel drive.
The 2UR-FSE is a 5.0-liter (4,969 cc) engine that previously powered the Lexus LS 600h and the third-generation Toyota Century.
D-4S has petrol direct injection, Dual VVT-i and VVT-iE on the intake manifold.
The Toyota UR range of engines is a series of 32-valve, double overhead camshaft V8 piston engines that were first introduced in 2006 when the UZ series it replaced was phased out.
Timing chains are used to drive the camshafts. The UR engine was produced in versions with a displacement of 4.6, 5.0 and 5.7 liters.
The engine valve covers are made of magnesium alloy with a cast aluminum engine block, the cylinder heads are made of aluminum alloy, cast to save weight.

The electric motors in the system (Lexus Hybrid Drive) provide extra power to the drive chain, so the combination can deliver a total of 327 kW (439 HP; 445 HP).
MG1 and MG2 electric motors perform specific functions.
Each can act as both a motor and a generator, although MG1 is used as a starter motor and does not provide propulsion.
An engine-driven generator, MG1, can charge the battery pack as needed or provide additional power to the MG2 drive motor.
The differential is a Torsen® LSD*, which automatically and instantly distributes the optimal driving power between both the front and rear wheels according to the road conditions.
During normal driving, the Torsen® LSD distributes the drive power front and rear in a ratio of 40/60 favoring the rear wheels, but you can also instantly select a drive power distribution ratio of 50/50 or 30/70.
The mode selection function allows the driver to choose from three driving modes ("Normal", "Power" and "Snow") according to their needs and driving conditions.
