Yes, the F-type CT.
0-60mph in 10.4 seconds when the electric motor assists the 98hp gas engine to combine for a whopping 134 hp in a 3300 pound car. Whoooo!!!
Don't forget the 17" wheels!! And "sport tuned" suspension!
Here's what Edmund's Inside Line had to say about the CT200h F-tune:
2011 Lexus CT 200h Full Test and Video
"The CT rides on the firm side for a Lexus, and it seems incapable of soaking up sharp bumps with the resiliency for which other Lexus sedans are famous.
Because the 2011 Lexus CT 200h is meant to be a sporty hybrid, we felt it only prudent to see how it would perform on a mountain road. Turns out, a 3,240-pound hybrid with 59 percent of its weight resting on the front tires doesn't provide for an overly joyous experience.
It's more fun than, say, walking, but there's nothing about it that resembles any sport-oriented car you can think of.
The combination of meager power, near-zero engine braking, weak brakes and a lack of steering feel means this car responds far from adroitly when you throw it into a corner. It doesn't do anything horribly wrong, but the lack of feedback from the powertrain, the chassis and the controls means you're just not 100 percent sure what the car is doing."
