2007 Lexus GS 450h
| The car has three power sources: a 3.5-liter V6 with dual injection that makes 292 hp at 6400 rpm and 267 lb-ft at 4800 rpm; motor generator one, which is the primary generator, engine starter and controller of engine speed that makes 180 hp; and motor generator two, which drives the rear wheels, makes 197 hp, and is the main piece in the regenerative braking system. As we have learned with previous hybrids, you can’t tally the total horsepower of all three to get a final number. Lexus says the total output of the system is 339 hp, which helps make the GS 450h one of the quickest cars Lexus has produced. With the instant torque delivered from the electric motors, the GS 450h accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds. For comparison, the GS 430 needs 5.7 seconds to get to 60 mph. Also impressive is the thrust from 30 to 50 mph, which takes just 2.7 seconds. Equally impressive is 40-to-80-mph acceleration and the 60-to-100-mph run where the acceleration pushes you in your seat. Top speed is 131 mph. When talking about fuel mileage—a big selling point for hybrids—Hermance is quick to say “your mileage may vary.” He said that repeatedly. In other words, the EPA cycle for getting the fuel mileage numbers—27 city/28 highway, a combined 28 mpg—does not necessarily reflect what you can get in the real world. Toyota has taken some lumps from Prius owners who didn’t achieve EPA numbers from their cars, so the company is trying to be out front about it. For comparison, the gasoline-only GS 430 is rated at 18 city/25 highway, the GS 300 at 22 city/30 highway. | ||
