Lexus Introduces the Supercharged LX 570
Due to the Middle East’s penchant for exclusive and powerful vehicles, Lexus has brought out a new iteration of the LX SUV specifically for the Middle East. The Supercharged LX570 features a spacious cabin that can seat up to eight people, as well as a new state of the art technology suite. However, it’s what’s under the hood that makes this LX stand out.
Starting with a 5.7L V8 engine, Lexus has strapped a supercharger to the top of it, in order to make the new Supercharged LX570. The motor in combination with the new supercharger boasts 450 horsepower and 520 ft-lbs of torque. What makes this Lexus better is that the company has devised a way to utilize the supercharger in a way that delivers not only more horsepower, but also a smoother torque curve, giving the passengers a more pleasant and luxurious delivery of power.
The Supercharged LX570 can be had in four different colors, although due to the company’s primary target being the Middle East, I’m sure the buyer can work out a deal with Lexus to paint the SUV whatever color they want, so long as they offer up enough money. Speaking of money, the Supercharged LX570 will cost somewhere in the range of $167,000, making it one of the most expensive cars Lexus has ever built.
