The Japanese off-road aftermarket parts manufacturer, JAOS, has unveiled a customized version of the 2022 Lexus LX600 ahead of its presentation at the 2022 Tokyo Motor Show. Built as a collaboration between Lexus and JAOS, this custom LX is said to “inspire a sense of adventure for both the driver and passengers.”<\/p>\n
This early reveal also coincides with the official release of the new-generation Lexus LX in Japan.<\/p>\n
Established in 1985, JAOS specializes in developing and manufacturing off-road, high-performance, and aesthetic parts for SUVs and four-wheel-drive vehicles.<\/p>\n
Using a Japanese market Lexus LX600 Offroad as the base, the modifications made by JAOS give the Lexus LX600 an even more rugged and off-road-ready aesthetic.<\/p>\n
The modified LX’s exterior features front and rear bumper skid plates made of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) and fender protectors with vents.<\/p>\n
There are also door handle protectors, as well as display fenders and an exhaust tip that are not yet available for purchase.<\/p>\n
The modified LX rides on specially developed 20-inch gold titanium Enkei wheels forged by JAOS, fitted with 285\/55R20 Toyo Open Country A\/T III all-terrain tires.<\/p>\n
Revealed in October 2021 and confirmed for a local release later this year, the regular Lexus LX is based on the new Toyota LandCruiser Series 300.<\/p>\n
It shares the same body-on-frame GA-F architecture not only with the LandCruiser but also with the redesigned full-size Tundra pickup truck.<\/p>\n
In LX600 form, the four-wheel-drive system is powered by a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 gasoline engine that produces 305kW of power and 650Nm of torque. This is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.<\/p>\n
This powertrain is the backbone of the LandCruiser range in the Middle East and is also used in the new-generation Tundra.<\/p>\n
The redesigned LX will also be available in LX500d version, featuring the same 3.3-liter twin-turbo diesel V6 with 227kW\/700Nm seen in the local LandCruiser lineup.<\/p>\n
In Japan, the LX lineup also includes a VIP-grade four-seater plus an LX600 Offroad with three differential locks (front, center, and rear), an exterior black package, and 18-inch gray aluminum wheels with standard all-terrain tires.<\/p>\n
Local specifications, pricing, and drivetrain options for the Lexus LX have not been confirmed yet.<\/p>\n
The 2022 Tokyo Motor Show kicks off on January 14 and runs until January 16, with many automakers preparing to showcase other new cars and concepts.<\/p>\n
Daihatsu will display two customized versions of its Atrai kei car, Honda will reveal a prototype version of its Civic Type R, Nissan will unveil its Nismo Z GT500 racer and the Mountain Base concept, Subaru will present its STI E-RA concept, and Toyota will reveal its GR GT3 concept and a tuned GR Yaris.<\/p>\n
