  • Shades of Green Which Low-Carbon Cars Are the Most Eco-Friendly?
    Shades of Green Which low-carbon cars are the most eco-friendly? Luca Lytton May 2011 i Foreword The Royal Automobile Club’s RAC Brighton to London Future Car Challenge was unique. It showcased scores of the most advanced green vehicles in front of hundreds of thousands of eager spectators – the very people who must buy the cars on display if there is to be a green transport revolution. If the event achieved only one thing, it was to demonstrate that determining how drivers can realistically do their bit to save the planet is a complex matter. There is no simple answer, in part because we have yet to adequately define the question. Is the most eco-friendly car the one which uses the least energy, or the one generating fewest CO2 emissions? Should environmental impact be considered solely in relation to each journey a vehicle makes? What about the manufacture and distribution of fuel? This report graphically illustrates how the green credentials of cars alter significantly depending on which angle you view them from. For all of us who run a car this is not an academic exercise. Over the coming decades the make-up of the vehicle parc will change dramatically as manufacturers encourage us to buy their latest electric, hybrid or hydrogen-powered cars on the basis of their environmental performance. Since the beginning of this year the Government has been offering grants of up to £5,000 for those early adopters who are ready to take the plunge and commit to buying an ultra-green car – that which produces 75 gCO2/km or less.

  • The Lexus Range Experience Amazing
    THE LEXUS RANGE EXPERIENCE AMAZING Since the launch of the LS 400 sedan in 1989, Lexus has become a synonym for exceptional quality and incredibly refined luxury cars. Determined to offer more than this, recently we’ve launched a new generation of vehicles: cars that stand out from the crowd and defy convention. Models like the exciting new UX compact crossover and the provocative yet elegant ES executive sedan. Based on a uniquely Japanese aesthetic of harmony without compromise, Lexus design is now more distinctive and single-minded than ever. However, head turning looks would be nothing without incredible performance. Inspired by the iconic Lexus LFA supercar that was launched in 2010, our ‘Master Drivers’, have worked tirelessly to identify and articulate the unique flavour of driving excitement. With this hard won knowledge we’ve now enhanced the precise and elegant nature of every Lexus with a sizeable dose of adrenaline: creating an exhilarating new driving experience that starts when you approach a car like the LC luxury coupé, and continues as long as you drive and cherish it. Unsurprisingly, technology plays a huge role in our work. We see innovation as a never-ending process, and are committed to anticipating future needs and desires. This approach has led to major automotive breakthroughs like the world’s first Self-Charging Hybrid in 2004 – the RX 400h – and now Multi Stage Hybrid that powers the LS 500h and LC 500h. Despite our intense focus on the future, we’re immensely proud of the world-class build quality of our cars, which is overseen by our ‘Takumi’ artisans.

    2017 LEXUS BEGINNINGS A NEW IDEA IS BORN Before Lexus, cars tended to be one thing or another. Some delivered performance, but not comfort; safety, but not style. With the 1990 release of the LS 400, Lexus introduced itself as a challenger to the status quo, bringing luxury, performance, and technology together for the first time. Over the quarter-century of relentless innovation that followed, Lexus has written a story that is truly amazing. The first LS 400s rolled off ships in the summer of 1989. BEGINNINGS LEXUS ‘YET’ PHILOSOPHY Opposites in harmony. This idea is the heart of the Lexus ‘Yet’ Philosophy, one of our guiding principles since we introduced the very first LS 400. It is why you are able to experience an exhilarating, powerful drive, yet with exceptional fuel efficiency. It is the epitome of luxury, yet with equally high environmental standards. It means surrounding you with the most advanced, yet elegantly intuitive, technology. LEXUS EXPERIENCE OMOTENASHI Anyone can deliver customer service. But only Lexus delivers omotenashi—the Japanese word for hospitality. More than simply fulfilling your requests, at the heart of omotenashi is anticipating your needs in advance and delivering service so exceptional it becomes an unexpected pleasure. This higher level of attention comes from an insightful understanding of your individual wants and needs, and a commitment to treating every customer as nothing less than a guest in our home. Like every car we build, we apply the same unrivalled standard to customer care. DESIGN LEXUS SIGNATURE L-FINESSE The new, yet already iconic, Lexus spindle grille The philosophy of ‘Yet’ is also at the heart boldly commands attention with its aggressive of the Lexus design philosophy, L-Finesse.
