L Is For Lexus
The new Lexus GS450h slipped silently onto my driveway, the darkened windows adding to the mystique a silent car conjures up in the mind, the sunlight glinting off the chrome trim and dazzling metallic bodywork. Just looking at the GS450h was exciting. The artistic angular curves of its front grille and the sweeping body lines brought back to mind the intense attention to detail that Lexus puts into every car they produce. This was no ordinary hybrid car; this was the new GS450h Sport. I could not wait to get behind the wheel and drive her. It took some time to familiarise myself with the environment, I must have looked like a kid in the sweet shop as I caressed the dials and switched the switches, going Oh wow, and words to that effect. Driving the GS450h was a completely new experience for me. This Lexus comes with variable settings for the engine management system. From EV to ECO mode you will use just battery power or a combination of the two. In Sport mode you will feel an increased difference in the GS450h’s performance. In Sport Plus mode I found another whole world of excitement. This was possibly the most thrilling performance I have experienced in a luxury saloon ever. The dynamic chassis performance in Sport Plus mode was breath-taking to make an understatement. The GS450h Sport provided a stately sedate premium luxury saloon at one moment and an adrenaline screaming sports monster the next. If you test-drive any car this year make it a Lexus GS45h Sport.
