Lexus LC500h officially debuts at Geneva Motor Show

Lexus debuted the hybrid version of the LC500 at the Geneva Motor Show.

Earlier this year Lexus unveiled a luxury coupe of the highest order, and one of our favorite cars at the Detroit Auto Show. It was a futuristic concept that looked damn near ready for production.

Fast-forward a month later to Switzerland and Lexus made some more headlines at the Geneva Motor Show with the official debut of the hybrid version of the LC500. Needless to say, they nailed it again.

The LC500h is a potentially groundbreaking idea that will feature the next-generation Lexus Multi Stage Hybrid System. This will provide enhanced driving pleasure, more performance, and more efficiency than ever. Lexus hopes the LC500 and its hybrid version shift their engineering processes and design ideologies to start a new phase for the Japanese brand.

It will feature a gasoline-powered 3.5-liter V6 engine along with an electric motor and lithium-ion battery, and it will be controlled by a 4-speed automatic gearbox. The hybrid is set to be released later in the year as a 2017 model vehicle.
