Some people may consider the term 'performance hybrid' to be as much of an oxymoron as jumbo shrimp or crash landing but Lexus doesn't think so. Doing their damndest to change the automotive lexicon and collective conscious of the buying public, the GS450h does just that.
Among the choices of luxury vehicles with hybrid technology in the Lexus line-up, the GS450h fits nicely into the fleet by offering luxury, comfort and performance in a sedan that is sleek, sporty and sophisticated. Boasting the largest fleet of hybrids and getting bigger, Lexus blends their green technology seamlessly into their products in a diverse lineup of luxury vehicles to suit folks from varied well-heeled walks of life.
While most hybrids utilize their technological tidbits to increase fuel efficiency, there are no hard and fast rules saying this must always be the case. The Lexus GS450h, for instance, uses a different blueprint, aimed as much at boosting the performance capabilities of the rear-wheel-drive performance sedan, as at saving fuel.
