Toyota Motor Corp announced the overview of the "Lexus LC500h" coupe to be exhibited at Geneva Motor Show 2016, which will be open to the public from March 3 to 13, 2016.
The LC500h is a hybrid version of the Lexus LC500 gasoline vehicle, which was announced in January 2016 at Detroit Motor Show (NAIAS) 2016.
For the LC500h, Toyota employed the "Multi-stage Hybrid System," which uses two motors, as well as a stepped automatic transmission. As a result, it became possible to generate a strong driving force even at low speeds. Moreover, the vehicle can drive on electricity in a wider speed range.
The LC500h comes with the "2GR-FXS" 3.5L V-6 engine, whose maximum output and maximum torque are 220kW/6,600rpm and 348N·m/4,900rpm, respectively. The maximum output of the entire system combining the engine and the motors is 264kW. The lithium-ion battery for driving the motors is stored under the floor.
The LC500 gasoline vehicle is equipped with a 5.0L V-8 engine whose maximum output and maximum torque are 349kW/7,100rpm and 530N·m/4,800-5,600rpm, respectively.
