It was just last week that Lexus dropped all the details on its upcoming new CT 200h (click here to refresh your memory), and now, as promised, the Japanese automaker has officially unveiled the hybrid hatchback at the Geneva Motor Show. Naturally, we snapped off a series of live photos for your viewing enjoyment.
Interestingly, though Lexus has yet to confirm what markets the CT will enter, our men on the scene report back, "Lexus executives were adamant about a near-simultaneous global launch a year from now. In their own words, the United States and Japan will receive the CT 200h, even if it was developed as an euro-centric model. First deliveries should begin in Q1 2011."
Until we get official confirmation on that point from Lexus, take that information and file it firmly in the rumormill folder, but it could mean good things to come for those interested in a fuel efficient premium hatchback to go up against Audi's diesel-powered A3. Stay tuned, there's plenty more on the way live from the show floor in Switzerland.
Lexus has tried to rewrite the rulebook for supercars with the LFA
It's a limited run, £350,000 carbonfibre special
The LFA is certainly well honed
LFA's dynamics are at their best on smooth surfaces, not B-roads
Getting the best from its chassis with the electric steering system can be difficult
The tyres can only do so much with 552bhp
Rear winf rises automatically above 50mph
Door handles are well concealed yet quite easy to use
it may be expensive, but you can bet an LFA will be a pleasure to own
High-set window line and imposing cabin architecture create a cocooned feel
The LFA's cabin is an exquisite mix of details that won't be to everyone's taste
Futuristic dials are very clear
Main infotainment control is the same system used in other Lexus models
Liftback boot is shallower but wider than you'd find in a mid-engined car
Magnificent front-mounted V10 revs to 9400rpm
