Random Snap>> Lexus Gs450 Hybrid Race Car

Thought I would continue on with the "eco" theme and post this photo of the Lexus GS450 Hybrid race car from last summer's Super Taikyu 24hr race. This car finished fourth in class despite a large weight disadvantage.  The GS also happens to look really cool in race car form with the TE37's etc.

I'm sure Lexus has aces up its sleeves. Dry carbon all over would drop the weight of this heavy-hitter.

Nice. I'm a bit concern though of the future of regular gasoline-powered cars.....

Alex - I'm looking at finding a classic car at the moment as I suspect that when they ban petrol they might give special dispensation to cars with historic relevance. Stupid future :(
