The technicians from Artisan Spirits shop have recently finished working on a gorgeous and stock aggressive 2016 Lexus LX 750, the luxurious SUV receiving their special aero kit, dubbed the “Black Label” kit.

And as we can depict from the photos below, the new kit does make the Lexus LX a little bit more extravagant, with the blacked-out pieces providing a more high-end attitude.

The Black Label`s most important features refer to the blacked-out spindle grille and LEDs, along with the updated front wings with the new vents which improve the car`s imposing personality.

On the side, one could observe the wide fenders which blend in with the car`s doors and sills, while the rear end, the technicians have installed a brand-new rear diffuser insert with prominent fins and new twin tailpipes on each side. The rear end is also complemented with the tailgate and roof spoiler, adding the massive alloy wheels which make the SUV more radical in looks.

From what we know so far, there haven’t been any modifications added to the car`s powertrain, the 2016 Lexus LX 570 being extremely powerful from the stock, with the massive 5.7-liter V8 engine, which develops an impressive 383 horsepower and 403 lb-ft of torque, available at an impressive 3,600 rpm.

Lexus LX570 on ADV.1 Wheels Is Extremely Aggressive https://www.carztuning.com/2016/08/lexus-lx570-adv-1-wheels-extremely-aggressive/ https://www.carztuning.com/2016/08/lexus-lx570-adv-1-wheels-extremely-aggressive/#respond Thu, 25 Aug 2016 23:19:58 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=8850 Japanese car products standout from the crowd with their massive design cues and more prominent lines, and the Lexus LX570 is a real example on that matter.

It is extremely massive and bulk, coming with a rather rugged look, but that didn’t stop different tuning aftermarket shops to shape its wild character and turn it into something more….aggressive, you guessed it by the photo gallery below.

In premiere, the massive Lexus LX570 has received a new set of wheels, courtesy of ADV.1 Wheels tuner, the entire installation being carried out by the technicians from CPC shop of Bahrain.

They ADV5.0 M.V1 CS wheels are extremely wide and measure 26 x 10 inches front and rear, all finished in matte gunmetal which provide the model with a more aggressive attitude and feel. And what a massive project this is, as the widest wheels ever seen on an SUV are the Forgiato`s top notch 23-inch wheels.

Besides the massive wheels, the SUV also comes with some slight styling changes, like revised front and rear bumpers and side sills. Underneath, the model keeps the Toyota`s Land Cruiser stock engine.

We are dealing here with a massive 5.7-liter V8 engine, with an impressive 383 horsepower and 403 lb-ft of torque, which is enough to deliver a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in a good 5.8 seconds. And judging by its size, the number is pretty cool.

Additionally, the Lexus LX570 is also coming with a lot of safety features that help it handle all kind of road conditions. We should include in our description the PCS (Pre-Collision System), IHB (Intelligent High-Beam), LDA (Lane Departure Alert), A-TRAC (Active Traction Control), All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control and so on.

Lexus RX Wide Body Kit by Artisan Spirits Tuner Looks Insane https://www.carztuning.com/2016/08/lexus-rx-wide-body-kit-artisan-spirits-tuner-looks-insane/ https://www.carztuning.com/2016/08/lexus-rx-wide-body-kit-artisan-spirits-tuner-looks-insane/#respond Wed, 03 Aug 2016 23:52:01 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=8644 There are some particularities that differentiate the European / North American tuners from the Asian tuners, the first ones kinda adopting the same styling elements while the latter coming with impressive, bulk and exaggerated wide body kits, that would make them really exquisite.

I am not saying that it`s worth having a Vorsteiner, Mansory, Hamann program on your car, I am just saying that a Liberty Walk or an Artisan Spirits tuning project can be instantly recognizable thanks to their massive and insane wide kits.

Being an European, I have to admit that I`m much into a Vorsteiner or Mansory tuning, but I also appreciate the work of other tuners, like the Japanese-based Artisan Spirits, recently completely reshaping the styling of the Lexus RX in all its versions.

Seen here is a 200t version, all tweaked with massive body components, with the tuner is also offering other customizations for the rest of the lineup, like the 450h or 350. Anyway, the model is easily recognizable thanks to the custom carbon fiber front spoiler and rear bumper garnish, side skirts or rear add-on diffuser.

Also, the new lowering springs also lower the car by up to 20 mm making it more massive and extremely aggressive. Other features refer to the tuner`s new roof and tailgate spoiler combo, wide front and rear fenders and so on.

A standard Lexus is extremely expensive, so imagine how much a tuning package would cost, especially on this luxurious RX version. No prices were yet announced.

Lexus RC F by Rowen https://www.carztuning.com/2016/02/lexus-rc-f-rowen-2/ https://www.carztuning.com/2016/02/lexus-rc-f-rowen-2/#respond Tue, 02 Feb 2016 14:33:59 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=6917 I have always admired the Lexus RC F sports car for what it represents, the model being successful thanks to its extraordinary aerodynamic body style and sheer performance under the hood.

But when an aftermarket shop like Rowen gets it into its own garage for some proper mods, the Lexus RC F becomes the ultimate machine.

The tuner`s latest project involves this exquisite RC F in black and white body wrap, which has received an exclusive Platinum body kit.

The body kit comes with a wide front spoiler lip with side canards, along with new carbon fiber bonnet, side skirts, updated rear bumper with carbon air vents, massive diffuser insert, carbon boot lid spoiler, or the new integrated tailpipes courtesy to Blue Titan sport exhaust system.

Overall, the Lexus RC F looks more menacing and aggressive than ever. However, we are not sure if Rowen has added some extra power goodies under the hood.

The stock model comes with a huge 5.0-liter V8 unit, developing around 460 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque.

In case you own a Lexus RC F and want to wrap it with the Platinum styling kit, then you should know that the kit costs 510,000 Yen, and if you add the full exhaust system then you will have to pay a total of 848,000 Yen.

The Japanese based Rowen tuner have recently laid their hands on a RC F, the model receiving an exquisite body styling, which will be eventually displayed at the 2016 Tokyo Auto Salon, along with another project carried out on the BMW M4.

As we can depict from the pictures released by the tuner, this particular Lexus RC F packs a carbon fiber body kit, consisting of a brand-new front lip spoiler, side skirts, carbon fiber bonnet, flared wheels arches, updated rear bumper with air vents.

Other features also include a wide rear diffuser with exhaust cutouts, trunk lid spoiler or the high-performance Blue Titan sport exhaust system.

We are not sure if the tuning program is still in progress for further upgrades under the hood, so we are looking for fresh news on this project. The stock model comes with a huge 5.0-liter V8 unit, developing around 460 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque.

In case the car is decided for additional power upgrades, we should expect something around 500-550 horsepower. Meanwhile, enjoy the photo gallery with the Lexus RC F by Rowen!

One-Off Lexus LFA Sits on Vossen Wheels https://www.carztuning.com/2015/12/one-lexus-lfa-sits-vossen-wheels/ https://www.carztuning.com/2015/12/one-lexus-lfa-sits-vossen-wheels/#respond Sat, 05 Dec 2015 14:45:55 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=6265 Vossen Wheels tuning is well-known for its high-performance wheels delivered to standout models from different automakers.

Their latest “victim” is this 2012 Lexus LFA model, which is considered the ultimate sports car that the luxury division from Toyota has ever built so far.

This Lexus LFA needed no new body tweaks, as it already comes with an extremely aggressive body at the front, sides and rear, where the main attraction is the wide wing for improved aerodynamics at high-speed.

But the model stands out form the crows with the exquisite 20-inch Vossen Forged VPS-305T wheels, measuring 20×9.5 front and 21×12 rear.

Under the hood, the Lexus LFA wears the stock 4.8-liter V20 engine, which outputs 553 horsepower and 480 Nm of torque. This is enough to make it sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds, at a topping of 261 km/h.

The power is achieved thanks to some upgrades, like the aluminum block and heads, or port fuel injection.

The Vossen Wheels tuner has also launched an interesting photo gallery with their latest creation, enjoy and feel free to express your opinion on that!

And this time, the same approach was also applied to the already aggressive Lexus RC F Sport.

We are dealing here with the bagging of a one-off set of Vossen VFS-2 alloys finished in bronze, working just fine with the fitting of the new lowering springs, coilovers, as well as the Air Lift V2 system.

Apart the new lowering springs which show-off the bronze Vossen VF-S wheels, the aftermarket specialists have also added some body mods, like the carbon fiber front spoiler, rear diffuser, spoiler, mirrors or the new wood trim trunk.

The overall look is splashing, also thanks to the wrapping of the rare black paintjob, which makes it perfect just for showing-off on the streets and not on the tracks, as this Lexus RC F Sport still keeps the same stock unit.

Lexus NX by Wald International https://www.carztuning.com/2014/12/lexus-nx-wald-international/ https://www.carztuning.com/2014/12/lexus-nx-wald-international/#respond Fri, 26 Dec 2014 12:23:05 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=2587 Wald International, a reputable tuning garage, has recently decided to update the mighty Lexus NX and push it up a notch in every imaginable aspect.

Naturally a look was in order and it was a long and satisfactory one owning to the fact that the Lexus seems to have reached a new level of perfection under the guidance of WI.

The car’s aggressiveness was already quite observable, so the front bumper and wheel arches could only accentuate the aggressiveness making a clear and valid statement. The alloys come as an addition and a stylish one at that blending in perfect with the rest of the improvements.

The rear has also been reconstructed with the inclusion of a tailgate spoiler and a bumper with center-placed taillights. With its newly appointed looks the Lexus NX could easily rival with top classed vehicles such as the Audi SQ5 or BMW X1, at least regarding the aggressive looks.

Wald International has brought the Lexus NX back to life with an outstanding body redesign and an overall mean look and slick design. The only thing that remains to be equally improved is the engine which doesn’t seem to have received any modifications up to now.
