WILTSHIRE Police are to be the first force in the country to add a new hybrid Lexus to their fleet.

The GS450h combines a 3.5-litre V6 engine with an electric motor to create 341bhp and acceleration to 62mph in 5.9 seconds. The car will be used for traffic duties, providing the performance of a conventional V8 petrol engine but with lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
