Default It's pimped out - the LX 570 Invader

The "Invader" package was available direct through the tuner or as a kit. Supercharged with a tasteful and restrained interior.


That quad exhaust and carbon fiber treatment on the rear at 0:14 is pretty cool. The quad exhaust is the perfect complement to the supercharged engine.
Pimp lounge interior and overworked exterior complete the package.
If I could afford 2 vehicles, I would love to have a supercharged truck like that without the silly stuff.

If they do, I would expect it to be a downsized 6 to get an extra 1-3mpg.

doubt that. could still be a 5L twin turbo v8. They need to compete with RR. I anticipate this similar engine to be used across the line including the F versions

They compete nicely with RR, MB, Nissan, Infinity, and any other real off-road vehicle.

Honestly, very fast! But the idea of turning an LX into a street monster, not my cup of tea.

Forced induction would be interesting. If it does come about, I hope that the performance - reliability balance remains (in favor of reliability). That is a key element of LC/LX brand identity and heritage.
