JAOS Corporation and Lexus collaborate to feature a new customized LX “OFFROAD” model at the JAOS booth in HALL 7 of the “Tokyo Auto Salon 2022”. Ever since its establishment in 1985, JAOS has been developing and offering 4WD & SUV parts to invite as many guests as possible to “Experience a New Adventure.” in line with their corporate motto. LEXUS is committed to offering a diverse range of products to meet the diversifying needs and lifestyles of its customers. The new LX, which went on sale today in Japan, offers a higher level of refinement, while maintaining its time-tested reliability, durability and off-road driving performance in order to provide its guests with a rewarding lifestyle experience whether it is in the urban city or deep off the beaten track.
This collaboration is the result of the desire of both companies to provide customers with an all-new experience. The LX 600 “OFFROAD” JAOS ver., based on the LX 600 “OFFROAD” model, combines the exclusive “OFFROAD” version’s exterior design that projects powerful off-road performance, with JAOS’s distinctive rugged customization and is sure to inspire a sense of adventure for its driver and passengers. Offroad has been fitted with many off-road-ready features and accessories that improve the capabilities of the luxury 4×4. Collaboration project with JAOS Corporation creates a style that stirs the adventurous spirit.
The exterior uses lightweight, high rigidity infusion-molded CFRP parts for the front and rear bumper skid protectors, as well as for the over fenders. The car also features specially developed 20-inch ENKEI made wheels forged by “TEAM JAOS” through their participation in global rally raids wrapped with Toyo Open Country all-terrain tyres. Under the hood no changes have been made with the stock 3.5L twin turbocharged V6 engine producing 409 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque. Big mud flaps have been fitted on all four corners for that rally inspired look, and door handle protectors and a tail-cutter round out the exterior mods.
The Lexus brand is marketed in more than 90 countries and territories worldwide and is Japan’s largest-selling make of premium cars. It has ranked among the 10 largest Japanese global brands in market value. Lexus is headquartered in Nagoya, Japan. Operational centers are located in Brussels, Belgium, and Plano, Texas, United States. Created at around the same time as Japanese rivals Honda and Nissan created their Acura and Infiniti luxury divisions respectively, Lexus originated from a corporate project to develop a new premium sedan, code-named F1, which began in 1983 and culminated in the launch of the Lexus LS in 1989.
