A special hybrid Lexus for Monaco
Prince Albert II of Monaco weds Ms Charlene Wittstock on Saturday the 2 of july. A full hybrid Lexus LS 600h L Landaulet drove the newlyweds through their principality.
Lexus was the official supplier of the 2011 Monegasque wedding. For special occasion, we need special devices. That’s why the Lexus LS 600h L Landaulet included on special feature: a one-piece transparent polycarbonate roof. The 8- millimetre thick, 26-kilogram roof is crafted out of a single piece of polycarbonate that is held in place with no pillars. The design allowed the royal couple to have an unobstructed view during the tour. The Lexus LS 600h L is equipped with a full hybrid system that allow the vehicle to drive the majority of the route in an electric, zero-emission driving mode.
“Lexus is very proud to present this exceptional full hybrid vehicle to H.S.H. the Sovereign Prince of Monaco', said Andy Pfeiffenberger, Vice President of Lexus Europe. ‘Our commitment to innovation and sustainable mobility at Lexus matches well with His Serene Highness’ keen interest in promoting sustainable development and environmental protection.”
Starting the tour from the Palace on the Rock, after traveling down to the harbour, they proceeded along Boulevard Albert I to Sainte-Devote Church. This wonderful one-of-a-kind Lexus hybrid will be on temporary display at the Media Centre in Monaco and then moved to the Oceanographic Museum.
