ummm...okay...I fully didnt understand the driving on sand thing. I know sand can get really hot in the summer, but does it reflect that much heat to mess up the electronics? I think tarmac would get as equally hot.
And why does it say 208 hp, 167hp, 68hp?
208 I guess is the gas engine, and the others are the electric engine?

Like any current hybrid, the initial cost does not justify the gain in fuel economy. It's a toy, but a useful one for Beta testing a system that will eventually be offered at a slightly more reasonable cost as volume production comes on stream. It's also a marketing strategy, to place Lexus in a postion of technology leadership, while testing the real demand for hybrid vehicles. They'll probably sell all they can paint.

I give ya 3 to 1 that at least one model from the coming Lexus sport division will incorporate hybrid power........

the rx400h has 4 electric motors. No drive shaft. When the gas motor kicks in it only powers the front wheels.
