ASI infiltrates Porsche Cayenne territory with Lexus LX570 Invader



Think the Porsche Cayenne has the market cornered on ridiculously fast, large sport-utes? ASI is here to tell you to think again with the new Invader. Based on the Lexus LX570, the ASI Invader packs a host of (largely unspecified) performance and visual upgrades to take the soccer-mom-mobile into serious hot-rodding territory.

Upgrading the lux-ute's 5.7-liter V8, ASI has boosted power up from 380 horsepower in stock form to around 600. The result is a 0-60 sprint in less than five seconds. And lest ye forget, the four second range is insanely quick for just about anything this side of a supercar, much less a big SUV like the LX 570.

To go along with the performance modifications – which we also gather include suspension and (hopefully) brake upgrades – ASI has also imbued its Invader with a series of appearance and aerodynamic "enhancements" to give it the visual attitude to go with the power boost. Successful? Ahem, well, you're certainly not going to miss it, are you?

Now that was totally unexpected! Looks so much more aggressive and yes overdone.

I dunno what to think about this......

Clean up the front and I think it'd look pretty good, but then it SEEMS as if the took away the off roading capability .

600hp warms my happy places though .....drooooooool. I want a mod list plz, that thing outdoes TRD by 100hp. phack!!!!

It probably could look nice. The front...ugh...too much. Reminds me of the weapon ports from some sci-fi anime. What does the back look like?

I agree.

somehow, as overdone as it is, I somehow I like it (maybe remove the alien-looking outside stacked LEDs)
