There are a lot of cars you can mod to 1,000 horsepower, and when you do, you’re in for a wild and crazy adventure. Modifying a second-gen GS 300 to that level of performance, however, is a bit of a different experience.

The Lexus LX 570 is one of the most capable, go-anywhere vehicles in the world. Very seldom do we get to see ultra-capable SUVs driven in challenging conditions, so the video below is a treat.
Watch Roman Mica and Andre Smirnov from The Fast Lane Car test the 2014 Lexus LX 570 as it ascends the 11,990-foot Loveland Pass.

If you drive a Lexus LX or GX, you know that having four driven wheels confidently moving you forward adds to the luxuriousness of your Lexus. Luxury buyers have an appreciation and an expanding desire for capability in the cars they drive, and that’s why all-wheel drive is becoming more popular in the luxury-car market.

I doubt you need to be reminded of the Lexus LFA’s illustriousness, but I highly recommend the reminder Justin Bell gives you in the video below. Satisfying his good deed for the holiday season, Bell emancipates the LFA from the Toyota Museum, and takes the halo car to Willow Springs.

Automotive media outlets from around the world are picking their favorite cars of 2013. Taking a trip down under, the folks at Australia’s Drive.com.au have chosen the Lexus IS 300h as “Best Luxury Car Under $80,000”.

At sea level, the 2014 Lexus LX 570 can propel you from 0 to 60 mph in 7.5 seconds. Do the same test at a mile above sea level, and that time increases to 9.25 seconds. Hook up a 5,500-pound boat and trailer to the back, and that 0-60 time more than doubles to 18.82 seconds.

It’s unsurprising the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is America’s highest motorsport competition, but at the ripe old age of 97, it is also America’s second-oldest auto race.
