In addition to the leather steering wheel, the ergonomically shaped gear knob protrudes, the seats are covered with synthetic leather and spring elements compensate for unevenness: Lexus created a fun mobile, a buggy. And because the Toyota subsidiary serves the luxury segment, the open off-roader is a luxury car. That wouldn’t be particularly unusual if it weren’t for the alternative drive. The Japanese transplanted a 1.0-liter internal combustion engine into the 3.21-meter-long, 1.72-meter-wide and 1.80-meter-high concept vehicle, but hydrogen (H) is atomized through its injection nozzles. The “H” is bunkered in a high pressure tank. The gasoline engine works with almost no emissions and only consumes a small amount of engine oil while driving. In addition, it impresses with an impressive sound and powerful power delivery, which is made possible by the high combustion speed of hydrogen. Whether the ROV will ever go into series production is still open.
