Lexus In Las Vegas

To celebrate its recent return to the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show—one of the aftermarket’s hottest trade events—Lexus unveiled an exhibit only one brand in the industry was capable of delivering: As the only luxury maker that offers five hybrid models, the company celebrated the launch of the 2011 CT 200h by showing off striking editions of each.

CT 200h F Sport Concept—Lexus took its all-new hot-hybrid, capable of 42 mpg, and dialed up the performance with the company’s F Sport 18-inch alloy wheels, wearing Pirelli PZero Nero rubber, along with a high-performance brake kit featuring cross-drilled rotors and an F Sport performance-tuned adjustable suspension with adjustable dampening shocks.

HS 250h—The team at VIP Auto Salon is known for its previous work on the HS 250h, and that experience got put to work again this year, courtesy of a Branew aero-styling package, VLEDS exterior and interior custom lighting packages, Lexus JDM window visors, Work Gnosis GS4 wheels, and a custom interior by VIP Auto Salon and Top Stitch.

Lexus LX 570 Caps Title Season With Baja 1000 Victory

Displaying the same perseverance and resiliency that helped him survive cancer, racer Joe Bacal—with plenty of help from co-drivers Chris Cocores, Bob Ditner and Paul Williamson—piloted a Lexus LX 570 to the winner’s circle in the recentBaja 1000, one of the world’s most grueling off-road competitions. It was the fourth win this year for Bacal and the Lexus, which is sponsored by the Cancer Treatment Centers of America. That kind of performance helped him take home the 2010 SCORE Stock Full driver championship, catapulted Lexus to the manufacturer’s title and gave Bacal’s crew the team championship.

It certainly wasn’t easy, though. Bacal and Cocores got off to a fast start in the Baja race, but less than 200 miles into the event, the wheels started to fall off—literally: “I felt great and we were making excellent time until a wheel came loose around mile 180,” said Bacal. “The loose wheel caused some damage that took quite a while to repair.”

That was the start of a rash of bad luck that saw the team idled for hours on end during the cold desert night as they fought to get the Lexus back in the race. When that was finally accomplished, Bacal knew it would take a near-flawless drive the rest of the way, over some 680 miles of treacherous off-road terrain, to achieve a victory. Luckily, that’s exactly what he and his squad delivered.

“This one was a nail-biter—a real test for everyone,” added Bacal. “But my team stayed with it and we got ourselves back in the race. With the problems behind us we just flew to the finish line.”

All-New Lexus CT 200h Priced Under $30,000

Offering a unique combination of efficiency, luxury and performance—as well as affordability—the all-new Lexus CT 200h will feature an MSRP of just $29,120 when it goes on sale in March of 2011. The fifth hybrid to join the brand’s lineup, the CT 200h delivers the kind of premium, dynamic driving experience that customers have come to expect from Lexus, with the best combined fuel efficiency in its class as an added bonus.

Consider: The CT 200h boasts standard equipment that includes push-button start/stop, touch-sensor exterior front-door handles, a leather steering wheel, an up-level six-speaker audio system with a USB port and integrated satellite radio receiver, Bluetooth compatibility, 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control and an eight-airbag supplemental restraint system. Naturally, a full range of options are available as well, led by Lexus’ sixth-generation navigation system. This innovate unit showcases the company’s exclusive Remote Touch controller, which operates like a computer mouse and does away with the need for touch-screen controls. As a result, the navigation screen can be mounted in a more ergonomic location that offers improved sight lines for the driver.

The driver also enjoys an enthusiast-oriented cockpit, with a wide-grip steering wheel, pedals strategically placed for performance driving, and a 10-way power seat with lumbar support and side bolsters. Further adding to the driving excitement in the CT 200h is a unique performance-damping system from Yamaha, which helps minimize body vibrations, deliver a more linear steering feel and enhance ride and handling.

And remember, all those features and amenities come in addition to the car’s cutting-edge hybrid-drive unit. This system offers four separate driving modes, including a driver-selectable EV mode in which the CT 200h emits no emissions at all. There’s also a “Normal” mode for regular driving, a “Sport” mode for higher levels of on-the-road performance and an “Eco” mode for higher levels of at-the-pump performance. The bottom line here: EPA ratings of 43 mpg city/40 mpg highway/42 mpg combined.

“For just $1,000 more than the cost of a non-luxury hybrid, buyers can indulge in a CT 200h with our proven Lexus Hybrid Drive technology,” said Mark Templin, group vice president and general manager, Lexus Division. “Lexus hybrids currently make up 90 percent of all luxury hybrid sales in the U.S., so you can imagine how excited we are to continue our leadership in this market with the CT 200h.”
