Torrance, CA (April 10, 2001)

The special-edition Lexus RX 300 Silversport, featuring an exclusive suspension and appearance enhancements, is now available at Lexus dealerships.

The RX 300 mid-size sport utility vehicle established a whole new trend in the luxury market when it arrived on the scene in March 1998 and quickly became Lexus' best-selling model. With a dynamic interior, enhanced performance and aggressive design, the Silversport edition enhances the sporty appearance of the RX 300.

Adding to the customary Lexus luxury, the Silversport comes equipped with a unique Euro-tuned Sport Suspension, brushed aluminum interior trim, black perforated leather, distinctive front grille and silver roof crossbars. The Silversport also comes with a power moonroof, driver's seat memory, electrochromic inside and outside mirrors, programmable garage door opener, air filtration system and an in-dash, six-disc CD auto-changer.

Powered by a 220-horsepower V6, which employs Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i), the RX 300 Silversport meets the challenge of the sport enthusiast with quick response and strong pulling power.

The RX 300 Silversport is a limited-production special edition with a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $36,710 for the front-wheel drive and $38,460 for the four-wheel drive. The Silversport edition represents a $4,600 value for a cost of $2,800 MSRP.

The special-edition Lexus RX 300 Silversport is available for a limited time through Lexus' 191 dealerships nationwide.
