Top Styling for the new Hybrid Lexus RX400 SUV


The Lexus RX400 is creating a new superlative in the segment of offroad and sport utility vehicles (SUV). Delta4x4 can make the same claim for there new product line for the new Lexus. Delta combines high quality with state-of-the-art techniques fitting a luxury top SUV.

For example, delta4x4 has created a hand-polished side bar out of stainless steel made in the best hand craftsman-ship. To give better sound to the powerful motor of the RX400, delta has made a stainless steel exhaust system, which gives more power and a better sound by reducing the dynamic pressure (1050 €).

Further, delta is newly defining the function of the front bar of the Lexus. The new chromed front bar (570 €) protects the car and gives a better protection for the pedestrian as well.

A vehicle that is of such high quality should have the best high-tech wheels at the market. Delta delivers this car with wheels in 20x8,5 and 265/45-20 tires (2900 €) .This set of wheels and tires magnificently supports the sporty handling of the car.

Only the dumbest people in the world will take a hybrid vehicle, with a electric motor driving the rear wheels, off road. Not to mention about the 45-series 20" wheel and tire combo...

"The new chromed front bar protects the car and gives a better protection for the pedestrian as well. " -- Ya right, a bull-bar gives better protection for the pedestrian?

Just by reading its marketing materials, I have no faith in this company's products.

Were you reading my mind? I was thinking the same things.

That's rediculous. It's like taking an ESV off road- they made it too pretty to do what a car in its segment is supposed to do. Puss SUVs.

They have done a few of these types of designs for the RX300. Never was much of a fan of that WAAG bar style front. I think a TTE Kompressor would be something for this RX, but no RX330 Kompressor either.

Something strikes me as odd.

They talk about this stainless steel exhaust system giving more power. OK

However, then they add on this massive WAAG bar on the front, and you do not think there are going to be consequences with aerodynamics and power loss with that weight?

When I redid my exhaust system on my RX300, I made sure I was not going to get any fatter, either on my beloved RX or in my stomach.

I like the second one the most. But honestly, stock is better. I think the color and those wierd rims are throwing me off.
