Lexus GS 450h hybrid update

Early reports indicate that the Lexus GS 450h hybrid will achieve almost 30 mpg and offer some of the lowest emissions of any hybrid, while exceeding 300 hp. Electric motor torque will help the car achieve 0-60 mpg in under 6 seconds.

According to an MSNBC.com article, "The system's massive electric motor is capable of delivering maximum torque, immediately upon demand." Lexus added. "This unique power delivery characteristic is most noticeable — and most useful — during 30-to-50 (mph) passing and merging maneuvers. It is an experience that must be felt to be fully appreciated."
