I was expecting a highly modified version with turbos and cut out wheel tubs like the 200 Series Land Cruiser. But nope, straight up RX, haha. Neat find!

I would have had my own ideas, but alas no one consulted me

Very cool I have a RX 400h and it has pretty decent acceleration. The electric motor probably kicked in around all those corners whenever it slowed down below 40, and for anyone not in the know, Nurburgring is something like 70% corners.
