Lexus LF-CC Hybrid Concept Car features 2.5 litre 4-cylinder petrol engine

Lexus LF-CC Hybrid is the new concept car from the famous automaker "Lexus". It was shown at the Paris motor show 2012. Representing a new Lexus powertrain for future production, the LF-CC is equipped with an all-new, highly efficient, 2.5 litre full hybrid powertrain delivering a combination of the engaging performance appropriate to a sporting, D-segment coupe and class-leading CO2 emissions targeted at around 100 g/km. This Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain features an all-new, ultra-smooth running, 2.5 litre 4-cylinder petrol engine mated to a compact, high-output, watercooled permanent magnet electric motor. 

In addition to the petrol engine and electric motor, the LF-CC hybrid drive system further comprises a generator, a high-performance battery, a power split device which, via planetary reduction gears, combines and re-allocates power from the engine, electric motor and generator according to operational requirements, and a compact power control unit to govern the high speed interaction of the system components.
