Need a little something to get your pulse up today? Try this video of driver Robbie Kerr’s first event driving a Radical SR8 RX or the Cholmondeley course. In it, he sets a new course record of 55.29 seconds.
You see, the standard Lexus RX is a top-notch isolation box. It’ll devour miles, children (oh, you know what we mean), and cargo with equal levels of aplomb. Its spacious, smooth-riding character is exactly what you want on a road trip, and it’s also plenty quiet when just driving around town. It is not, however, an involving vehicle. Even its 3.5-liter V-6 is oriented towards comfort. Sure, it packs a decent 270 horsepower and 248 pound-feet of torque, but it’s the buttery, refined character and engine note that make it a success. There’s a reason we didn’t include it in the four-way SUV roundup we conducted a few months back.
Lexus has certainly been busy over the past year. With the launch of a new GS, a new ES, and a refreshed RX, it’s a wonder the Toyota-owned brand has managed to launch yet another revised model. This time around, it’s the 2013 LS, Lexus’s flagship luxury sedan, designed to compete with the BMW 7-Series, Audi A8, and Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
