LEXUS J201 CONCEPT: CRAFTED FOR THE MOST SALIENT RETREATS

OCTOBER 06, 2020
 

• Based on the venerated LX 570 flagship, J201 enables extraordinary retreats through curated enhancements.
• Crafted by overlanding experts, Expedition Overland, J201 introduces the Lexus pillars of Brave Design, Imaginative Technology, Exhilarating Performance, and Omotenashi beyond the paved path.
• Set to debut at the 10-day-long Rebelle Rally on October 8 with defending champions Rachelle Croft and Taylor Pawley behind the wheel.

 

PLANO, Texas (October 6, 2020) – Yes, it’s true. A supercharged 550-horsepower, lifted, fully-equipped LX-based concept vehicle is tastefully strewn upon your screen. Named the Lexus J201 Concept, it is the plus-alpha iteration of the renowned four-wheel drive Lexus flagship. And elevated by the utmost level of omotenashi – culturally-attuned, anticipatory, Japanese hospitality – J201 is a bona fide instrument meticulously crafted to enable and embrace the most salient of retreats imaginable.

Exploration has just been enhanced.

 

ENTHUSIAST ROOTS 

The inspiration for the J201 idea is multifaceted. The global cohort of off-roading enthusiasts who adore their Lexus sport-utility vehicles is growing. Just as they influence others through their compelling social media and weekend gatherings, these enthusiasts – our guests – and their passion for exploration and adventure have influenced us.

Through such a lens of extraordinary passion and loyalty came the idea of J201. Its name is somewhat “insider-ish” and was chosen for that very reason. It is taken directly from the LX 570’s internal Lexus chassis and platform code, URJ201, which, to off-roaders around the world translates to “The Business”.

In every vehicle Lexus crafts, we seek to venture beyond guests’ expectations. Adhering to this principle, we aim to eliminate complacency in the betterment of our mobility tools – a far-reaching practice we call Always On, for every moment we exist, so too do ever-better versions of our wares. In this way, even this modified version of a Lexus maintains the brand’s human-focused ethos.

Ceaseless creativity and enhancement – extending from our Lexus brand foundations of omotenashi, and craftsmanship – touch all facets of our identity, including those of the conceptual kind.

 

HELLO, EXPERIENTIAL ADVENTURER

Born from a philosophy of cross-functional omotenashi, and assembled by overlanding experts, Expedition Overland, the J201 Concept anticipates the tasteful requirements and needs of the Experiential Adventurer.

Experiential Adventurers value their Lexus Flagship’s easily-accessible capability and take pride in its functional looks. They are acutely cognizant of style, expression, and reflection, yet they are drawn to understated optics.  And within their social spheres, they are the consummate influencers.

 

When they are able, Experiential Adventurers pursue respite outdoors, well away from their daily cocoons. When these respites naturally evolve into retreats, J201 is the instrument they trust to utilize in their forging of everlasting memories.

 

NOT YOUR AVERAGE KIT OR CABOODLE

J201’s thoughtfully curated collection of enhancements leverages Lexus’ foundational pillars – Brave Design, Imaginative Technology, Exhilarating Performance, and Omotenashi – to express a focused, yet functional, progressive means of mobility – pavement or not.

Additional details on J201’s curated enhancements can be found at Guest Kit page.

La Toyotona su cui si basa, in effetti ha delle buone doti fuoristradistiche.

La usava già Gesú, all'epoca, per fare le scampagnate con gli apostoli?

Il video l'hanno girato per far capire che gran rottura è aprire e chiudere il portellone posteriore?
