Lexus NX goes aggressive for SEMA

Lexus has taken the wraps off a bespoke NX crossover at the SEMA show in Las Vegas today.

The customised Lexus NX 200t F Sport is created by 360 Elite Motorworks and comes complete with an aggressive Artisan Spirits bodykit, which includes a pair of front bumper extensions with integrated LED daytime running lights, front lip spoiler, side skirts, rear diffuser and a tailgate spoiler.

Tuck underneath the darkened wheel fender flares is a set of 21-inch HRE P104 forged monoblock wheels wrapped in Toyo Proxes T1R rubber. The NX also loses the unsightly wheel gaps with a lowering sports suspension.

Wrapping up the cosmetic enhancement is a striking pearl orange paintjob and black accents for the trademark Lexus spindle grille and badges.

Under the bonnet, the turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine gains a new air intake and a sports exhaust system. No details on performance has been specified but in factory form the turbo four develops 175 kW(235 hp) of power and 349 Nm (258 lb-ft) of torque.
