Default Teenager Saudi drives an LX470 at 150mph...from the backseat

Just goes to show how perfectly balanced and aligned Lexus vehicles are, being able to track the road for 3 straight minutes.

LX470 or LS430?

either way, very stupid.

and I think it looks more like a one-way, so there would've been no oncoming traffic?

The interior is 100% LX470.

Still amazing that there's no traffic even in the same direction during the 3-minute 150mph travel.

It's no doubt possible. I imagine they tried it a lower speeds first and then gradually moved it up...and I thought holding the camera on some of my RX300 videos was something

And I thought going 140MPH taking a picture with my right hand at 3AM in the morning with no traffic was a stupid idea! (This was years ago in the Acura)
