Lexus has used the damping technology as an effective way of increasing torsional rigidity,
suppressing vibrations and contributing to ride comfort without the penalty of significant extra
weight. The lateral dampers, deployed front and rear, are key elements in a detailed package of design
and engineering measures that also includes strategic strengthening and carefully-gauged welding quality
throughout the vehicle.
Lexus chief executive Tony Cramb said the revealing of the F Sport model demonstrated the importance
of CT for the Australian market. "CT 200h gives Lexus a presence in the growing luxury compact
segment," he said.
"There is a clear trend to small vehicles that do not compromise on features - in short, CT is a small
car with all the luxury features of a large car. CT 200h F Sport models will add even greater appeal to a
vehicle that - with its hybrid drivetrain and list of advanced features - is set to become Australia's
most advanced luxury hatch. The arrival of the CT 200h in 2011 reinforces yet again Lexus' commitment to
hybrid vehicles. It cements our real-world hybrid advantage in the luxury market," Mr Cramb said.
