 Hybrid Lexii

Hey guys,
Was flipping through Motor last night while I was waiting for my flight and read up about the new Hybrid Lexii...
I knew they were coming out (about the end of the year), but I always assumed they'd be green versions.
How wrong I was!
The hybrid Lexii will be the performance versions!
There will be an IS350, GS350, and LS500!!
The Hi-Po GT ones will have electric engines to boost their output!!
ie: The LS500GT will have a 300kW engine driving the rear wheels and gain an extra 150kW from the electric engine on the front wheels!
450kW and that amazing 0.26 cd will see an impressive top speed number!
All of this also means that there are going to be two new RWD performance engines that we can all lust over and dream about putting into our cars! Yay!

The article mentioned a 5 litre V8, so no 1GZ-FE unfortunately.

Err... There's no charging involved.
Well, not in the conventional "plug it into a wall" sort of thing. I'd suggest you read up on Toyota's hybrid system.
