One just like this was sold here in Canada last year.
Extremely rare. It had the ability to adjust the height of the vehicle, an OEM reverse camera, the navigation,it caught tv waves and came fully loaded with leather and the V8.. It sold for the retarded price of $6400.00 ... I wish I bought it.
It also had an extremely rare lip kit.

They are very rare indeed, with only 800 ever being produced, there are quite a few going around here in Australia, unfortunately most of them are being parted out or scrapped due to the cost of replacing / fixing parts in them being massive. there's been a few sold on soarer central lately around the 1-3k AUD mark or less. Most can't be sold at all.
The soarer in the video, the owner must have put the lexus "L" badge on the front because from factory they come with the soarer griffin on the front bumper.
check out this vid showing off the active suspension / 4 wheel steer compared to the standard soarer suspension, or what comes in the sc300/400's
you can see the active in front calmly driving around with no wheel noise, and the standard soarer behind having to get sideways and smoking the tires and not even keeping up

The UZZ32 baby!!! Wow, Now that is a dream SC right there hands down the ultimate. When I first discovered these masterpieces, I was really surprised Toyota didn't import it here. The SC was designed here in So Cal @ Calty Design Research for the American market and they keep the flagship model for Japan only? For cryin out loud!. What a travesty! Active air suspension with four wheel steer! WOW what a car. If you are curious and want to know more I originally found the UZZ32 @ Planet Soarer of Australia. Those guys are pioneers out there on taking the scientific approach to research into squeezing every ounce of performance out of the UZZ32. Luckily the UZZ32 shares a lot in common with our common ordinary SC's (compared to the UZZ32). Instrumental in making my decision to purchase an SC with them and this club's support. I would hate to think trying to figure it out all on our own!
