Lexus hybrid hatch: CT 200h

Lexus hybrid CT 200h hatch

Prepared for reveal at Geneva in just a couple of weeks, Lexus’ hybrid hatchback CT 200h  is a development of the Lexus LF-Ch concept that was revealed six months ago and features the second-generation Lexus Hybrid Drive technology.

Unfortunately,  there is just one teaser image hovering the internet, and also, not very many details have been unveiled to the public. What we can suppose is that the “200h” name means a 2.0l engine completed by an electric motor. Hopefully it will not be as CT 600h, which is actually powered by a 5.0 l.

Full details given in the skinflint press release after the jump.

When cars miss their period…

Yes, you read well! Cars have periods and they can miss them, too. The picture above is living proof of what missing a period may trigger. Toyota taunted at Detroit Auto Show with its 552HP V10 carbon fiber Lexus that can amazingly reach 60mph in an astonishing 30-seconds blink.

Toyota’s boyfriend will now panic because Toyota missed a period.

Lexus IS F Circuit Club Sports: less is more

You all know Lexus IS F, right? What do you love about it? The slushbox that allows you to shift faster and easier than guys in “Fast and Furious”? Or the  jumpy 416 horsepower? However, as anything in this world, it’s not perfect. This foxy is too heavy, and even that jittery engine can’t  make things easier on the track. So…what are the solutions? You either add some power to motivate this little beast or you can send it to lose some weight. As the first option is not quite desirable, Lexus turned to life-saving carbon fiber. The hood, roof, trunk, front wiglets, wing, door sills and rear extractor are all made from lightweight, unpainted carbon fiber. To make things even spicier, Lexus added a dozen HP. They didn’t touch the engine, though. But a new exhaust system does wonders on the figures.

This is how this 5.0-liter V8 428HP was born and they named it Lexus IS F Circuit Club Sports. Of course,  after all this great news, here must come the bad part: you will not see it at your dealer too soon…probably never.

Lexus presents the LF-A roadster

After unveiling the LF-A coupe a while ago, Lexus has presented the roadster version of its prototype, and it managed to impress everybody even more.

The LF-A is one of the most anticipated concept cars of the moment, so Lexus decided to take advantage of this great momentum and tease us with another version of the car, the LF-A roadster. The top-off looks arguably better than the cabriolet, the long hood fits a lot better now, the backside of the car also looks a bit tidier on this version, that hides a V10 engine able to produce 500bhp. Lexus also stated that removing the roof has had little effect on the car’s rigidity and stability, due to the light but strong structure made of carbon fibre and aluminum. (more…)
