Unique Lexus LS 600h L for royal wedding

Monaco, July 17, 2011

A unique Lexus full hybrid LS 600h L Landaulet featuring a one-piece, transparent polycarbonate roof served as the official royal wedding car on the occasion of the marriage of Prince Albert II of Monaco.

The exclusively designed Lexus was manufactured for the special occasion and is unique because of its Landaulet style, which is a car body style with a convertible top for the back seat and with the front seat either roofed or open.

The LS 600h L is equipped with Lexus Hybrid Drive, which offers all the performance and comfort expected from a Lexus flagship, and generates significantly lower CO2, NOx and particulate emissions than any comparable car, said a statement.

This unique Lexus was created during a state-of-the-art conversion process that took over 2,000 hours to complete, it said.

It was carried out under the close supervision of the Lexus engineers, who ensured that the finished vehicle maintained the levels of quality and technological sophistication inherent in every Lexus, whilst preserving all the performance, safety and dynamic attributes of the original LS 600h L, said the statement.

“Its marque transparent roof is a single, lightweight polycarbonate shell, just 8 mm thick and weighing only 26 kg. Fixed to the body of the Lexus through two intermediary parts, it allows perfect visibility from both inside and outside the vehicle. After the design was completed, the extreme precision of production was carried out by robotic tools, which machined the final canopy in a completely automated process,” it said. – TradeArabia News Service
