Lexus is commemorating dual triumph in the “2008 Fleet World Honours”, gathering the Security Award as well as, for the 2nd year running, the Best Luxury Car designate for the LS model.

The Security Award signifies Lexus’s interest to detail in offering the maximum levels of defense system against theft of or from its automobiles, a pledge that is also recognized by high evaluations from the UK insurance business’s research body (Thatcham).

Head of the judging board known as George Emmerson, said Lexus "does more than anyone else in the market" when it comes to efficient anti-theft necessities.

Fleet World editor Ken Rogers, said that "The Lexus LS stands above its worthy competitors simply because it is such a quality product, manufactured to the highest standards”.

"No longer the new kid on the block, Lexus has nothing more to prove."

Holding its Best Luxury Car name has certified the Lexus LS's standing as a flagship limousine that distributes excellent comfort, enhancement and technical sophistication, for the most part of the hybrid power LS 600h model.

The Lexus Hybrid Drive system found in the LS 600h L is the automotive line up’s most highly developed gas-electric hybrid system made to date, given the supremacy and performance on recent 12-cylinder engines set while still bringing best-in-V8-class fuel reliability. It will equal or improved the united fuel-economy rankings of minor V6 all-wheel-drive mid-sized luxury sedans.

The LS hybrid is estimated to take a Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) evaluation. A SULEV rating leads the LS 600h L has almost 70-percent “clean and green” emissions than the “cleanest” of its rivals.

The Fleet World Honours were offered at a ceremonial held at the Royal Automobile Club last May 13 in London.
