At the present time, a lot of car makers are already trying out their hand in the creation of hybrid vehicles. It can be predicted that in the near future hybrid vehicles will only the way to go. Toyota is a major player in developing hybrid cars. This brand already has several hybrids under its name. And just this Thursday Toyota uncovered its latest and most expensive hybrid car ever! The Lexus LS is a luxury sedan which has a gasoline-electric engine system that costs $124, 000, WOW! At the moment this model is only available in Japan but in the next month it will also find its way in Europe, North America and Asia.

According to Toyota this latest hybrid is the most advanced because of the new system it uses. Moreover, it is environment-friendly as well. This is possible because it makes use of minimal gas as it partly operates using electricity. This powers up the 5L V8 engine with its full-time all-wheel drive. To add up to its environment-friendly character is the four-wheel braking system that recoups energy so that there will be lesser carbon-dioxide emissions.

Toyota is definitely very happy with their new hybrid creation. According to Toyota President Katsuaki Watanabe “The hybrid system is a core technology that can be applied anywhere.”
