City of fuel is estimated at EUR 32, highway 28 front-wheel drive, but with 30 city, 28 highway with four-wheel drive.
The next step in my development, has added two new Lexus Hybrid to improve the energy consumption. The first exhaust gas heat recovery system reduces engine warm-up time, as you may be able to stop, often for long periods of time. As a result, emissions of fuel. Types of cooling the exhaust gas recirculation, reducing pumping engines, this loss, which can help stimulate the economy.

Next Gen Toyota Supra underway!
Lexus plans super LFA Tokyo Edition, new Supra underwayBy Tim Pollard
Lexus will launch an LFA Tokyo Motor Show Edition at this autumn's 2011 Japanese show, CAR has discovered - and we can expect a brace of additional new Toyota/Lexus performance cars in the coming years, including a likely Supra replacement.
The Lexus LFA Tokyo edition will bring an M3-esque exposed carbon roof and (still hydraulically adjustable) carbon rear spoiler. Presumably this just means the weave is exposed, as the LFA is already made from carbonfibre.
CAR understands the LFA Tokyo will cost about €40k more than a 'regular' Lexus LFA.
What else is planned for the Lexus LFA?
A spider roadster was planned and its carbonfibre construction meant the open-top LFA was nearly as rigid as the coupe. But our sources in Japan have confirmed the roadster LFA has been canned owing to the economic uncertainty in markets around the world.
And what's this about new performance cars from Toyota/Lexus?
Toyota is working on two other performance cars separate from the FT-86 and LFA projects.
Information is sketchy at this point, but CAR understands one is a front-wheel drive car (possibly a go-faster CT200h) and one is a potential successor to the Supra.
Officially, a Supra replacement is denied. But we hear a skunkworks, unofficial project is underway to replace the RWD coupe and some insiders predict a 2014 launch.
It also sounds like future fast Toyota/Lexus models will switch from high-revving naturally aspirated engines - as in the LFA, ISF and FT-86 - to smaller, turbocharged engines. Interesting times at Toyota, as it attempts to play catch-up after a decade away from the performance heartland.

2011 Lexus LX 570 Review
Lexus introduced the all-new 2011 LX 570 full-size luxury utility vehicle at a press conference in New York International Auto Show 2007. The new third-generation LX features more technological advances to provide added power, luxury, safety, capacity, and both on-and off-road capability over the award-winning LX 470 it replaces.
"The new LX 570 is packed with luxury appointments and seamless technology our buyers expect the Lexus vehicle," said Bob Carter, Lexus Division group vice president and general manager. "Equally important, the new LX 570 sets a high water sign Lexus by providing more on-and off-highway abilities than ever, but to get the number of interior comfort, luxury and ride quality our customers expect. "

"Equally important, the new LX 570 sets a high water sign Lexus by providing more on-and off-highway abilities than ever, but to get the number of interior comfort, luxury and ride quality our customers expect. "
LX 570 is equipped with a powerful 5.7-liter V8 that produces 381 horsepower, 110 more than the vehicle is to replace, and more than 400 Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a new six-speed sequential-shift automatic transmission designed and built for large tasks. Both the engine and transmission are controlled and combined with sophisticated electronic management systems that help ensure optimal performance and low fuel consumption and emissions at all times. The LX is expected to ULEV II certification.
With its upgraded powertrain, along with a new chassis and suspension, the LX 570 has a towing capacity of 8500 pounds, an improvement of £ 2,000 from the previous model.
Important updates for the suspension and four-wheel full-time working to raise the LX to new levels of comfort and performance, on-and off-road. Height control electro-hydraulic four-wheel active suspension (AHC) and Adaptive Variable Suspension is quicker and allows a wider range of adjustment than the system it replaces. The new cross-linked system allows each wheel to react to the driving surface is in contact with and reacts to act opposite wheels. Using a valve at each corner and in the middle of the valve or the master grid suspension system detects the extension or deflection of each of the LX 570 20-inch wheels and counters that the proper response to the opposite wheels.
Intelligence is built on the LX 570 new chassis under the roll and suspension helps reduce body roll that over 30 percent. The system also controls ride height quickly, lowering the start of an average of two inches, and from there, and automatically returns to normal height when the vehicle begins acceleration.
LX 570 also includes a new control function creep to increase the throttle while driving over rough or difficult. When a small range, Scan Control helps maintain appropriate low speeds allowing the driver to concentrate on driving the LX 570 for the desired path. Similar to cruise control to maintain vehicle speed, scan control activated a set of virtual locking differentials to minimize tire slippage and optimize chassis behavior. As control of the body is greatly improved, the possibility of bottoming the LX 570's driving surface is significantly reduced.
The new LX 570 is also involved in the multi-terrain ABS braking system. This new technology is designed to help reduce stopping distances on slippery surfaces such as sand or gravel.
Among the many advanced technologies the LX 570 also offers a new blind spot monitoring function designed to be used in an urban environment, such as removing a garage. The cameras are located in the grille and under the passenger side rear view mirror, the driver can easily check hard-View sites by simply pressing a button on the dashboard and viewing the camera images the navigation screen.
The luxurious style of the new LX 570 emphasizes the Lexus identity by combining the muscular strength and a sense of security expected in a four-wheel-drive utility with the simplistic originality of the theme Lexus L-finesse design, which makes it much more refined and dynamic than its predecessor. The theme of the daring new LX carries over from front to rear with a wide stance and muscular cabin proportions are accented with subtle character lines and luxury touches such as chrome door handles and lists.
Cut the line on the wings of the image increases the performance of the new LX while the wheel arches add an element of ruggedness to its clean profile. The running boards are fitted closer to the body to make it look more integrated.
The style is complemented with features that include adaptive headlights, a power rear door, puddle lamps, headlight washers and a front wiper de-icer.
Comfortable spacious interior
The overall wheelbase of the new LX 570 is equal to its predecessor, helping to maintain its impressive maneuverability. However, interior and exterior length have increased by at least four inches and a width of nearly an inch, creating a more welcoming and comfortable space for up to eight passengers and cargo.
An advanced active safety technologies
Luxury amenities
In addition to its many standard features and advanced technologies the LX 570 also comes with a host of additional equipment such as front seats climate controlled and heated rear seats, a 19-speaker Mark Levinson ® audio system with reference surround and a hard disk drive can store up to 2,000 songs, a rear entertainment system with nine-inch screen, the Lexus Intuitive Park Assistance, a first in its class Pre-Collision System with Adaptive Cruise Control and Lexus Link.
The all-new LX 570 will reach Lexus dealerships in early 2011.
