Lexus CT 200h
Lexus has introduced innovative body engineering to give the new Lexus CT 200h sporty handling plus fuel efficiency for the luxury small car market. They have used front and rear lateral performance dampers combined with a body that delivers greater torsional rigidity, suppresses vibration and enhances the ride comfort.
The new CT 200h has been specifically tuned for European roads and aims to take on the BMW 1 Series and Audi A3, offering a sporty hybrid alternative. The driving mood can be changed by the selectable SPORT, NORMAL and ECO drive modes and the new car goes on sale in early 2011.
