Cool Prince of Monaco takes delivery of LS 600h

Translated by Google from French:

http://translate.google.com/translat...n%26safe%3Doff

The Principality Monegasque is very points some on the question of the hybrid vehicles: Albert II of Monaco rolled already in Prius, RX 400h, and had promoted a law offering a help of 3.000 euros for any purchase of a hybrid car (either double of the tax credit offered in France).

The prince will be able from now on to carry out his official displacements on board Lexus LS 600h, hybrid it too! This limousine with four driving wheels equipped with an engine V8 5 liters associated with an electric motor posts 445 CH and a consumption of… 9,3 l/100 km on average! The CO2 discharges are established as for them with 219 g/km.

Albert II saw himself personally giving the keys of the vehicle by Michel Gardel, the owner of Toyota France.
When I visited Monaco a few years ago, I saw several Priuses rolling around the Royal Palace...now add an LS 600h to the mix.

Hehe, well the article says it's an LS 600h, not 600h L...why HRH didn't spring for the LWB model, I don't know...

I don't know. I went to that website, and Built my Own Lexus. It shows LS600hL at the top of the page. Dark Opal, Ivory Leather. Fit for a king. Or prince, perhaps.

I went to many of the individual European countries' websites, they only listed the 600h, not 600hL, like France, Belgium, Germany, UK, Netherlands etc.

It's true that Lexus markets the LS 600h as the primary hybrid LS in Europe, however the LS 600h L is also available, possibly as a special order. For example:

http://www.lexus-europe.com/lexus_ca...case/index.asp

The main picture is an LS 600h L.

Furthermore, you can click on 'interior' and it talks about the options also on the LS 600h L. From my research for the LS article on wiki and elsewhere, some Bentley owners in the UK switched to the LS 600h L.
