Team Lexus - Targa Newfoundland 2008

Team Lexus - Targa Newfoundland 2008 We are thrilled with this result. The whole team came together to pull it off and we couldn't be happier. We came to prove that Hybrid vehicles aren't tame, boring vehicles and I think we even surprised ourselves with this fantastic victory. 1st in the hybrid division and 6th place overall really shows that hybrids can compete with the best of them. Thanks to the whole team for all of your hard work!
