How do you take a fun to drive sporty five-door premium compact hybrid that has a combined EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of 42 mpg to the next level? Build a CT 200h F Sport Concept. Although this vehicle is just a concept, it’s just the tip of the iceberg.

HS 250h by VIP AUTO SALON
Lexus’ first dedicated luxury hybrid, the HS 250h, isn’t a stranger to modification by Vip Auto Salon. They’ve modified green before and they’ve done it again. A Branew aero styling package, Huper Optik ceramic-based window film and Lexus OEM Japan-market window visors conceal this fuel sipper’s hybrid essence.

GS 450h by 0-60 MAGAZINE
Going green doesn’t have to be boring. The stock GS 450h hybrid luxury sport sedan has smooth and powerful acceleration and blends refinement and sportiness. 0-60 Magazine envisioned its GS 450h with enhanced performance and handling upgrades to challenge the road or track with hybrid driving pleasure.
