Default LS600hL to officially launch on Sept 28 at Paris Auto Show
LS600Hl has 444hp. Sounds official from the article.
Price will also be announced.

LS600hL, you will be mine if even if I need to prostitute myself...

Too bad we won't get the 600h in the U.S.

I don't mind it in LWB at all, I actually think it looks better than the short version besides the extra rear legroom, I wish they could offer it in RWD also though to save some weight, that thing is going to be heavy.

In the US we ONLY get the 600hL, no 600h. Also, the horse power quoted in the article is British HP. The US conversion is less.

29.7mpg converted to US mpg = 24.7mpg. Not exactly a big improvement to the LS460. But 444hp...that surely is. Sounding much better than the "over 430hp" in the previous LS600h PRs.

Man I wonder how the LS600h 0-60 times will be. The 5.0 liter V8 combine with electric motors can generate massive amount of torque. And with VSC turned off, will we see smokes come out from all 4 wheels? That'll be a sight!

Not to sound too superstitious, but I wish it were a nice round number like 450. Still, 440+ hp is nice!
