Lexus became the first manufacturer to offer a range of hybrid vehicles in South Africa when it introduced the RX400h and GS450h in 2008. Since then, the luxury brand has enhanced its hybrid offering with the second generation hybrid RX450h and the LS600h L. The company has seen successful take-up by consumers, hybrid customers accounting for just over half of RX sales, for example.

Lexus has confirmed that small numbers of LS models in South Africa will be checked and corrected if necessary following the announcement by Japan that it would recall certain LS models for a possible fault in the Variable Gear Ratio Steering (VGRS).
Playing a key role in helping to finalise the development of the LFA before it enters production in December, the gruelling Nürburgring 24 Hour race this weekend offers Lexus and Gazoo Racing two unique opportunities. Not only will the experience foster the peerless quality, durability and reliability expected of any Lexus, by pushing cutting-edge technology to the extremes of mechanical endurance, but also to hone the technical skills of the personnel involved in the development of future Lexus and Toyota production vehicles.
