Came across that... Would love it to be a production run 😅

Surely in a bus  like that, it’s hardly the right engine for the job

To be honest... it isn't tat far fetched... especially in US where 5-6L SUVs and Pick-up trucks are common place. Probably, a little bit late for Europe where ML63AMG and BMW X5M have been tried and kind of flopped... the only one still hanging about is G63AMG, but attraction to the model is quite far detached from practicality and it is almost a meme. 

What surprises me is that they kept boring RX350 dashboard/cluster... instead of taking GS-F dials.

That is cool. I would have one to replace our RX 450h. 
 

I agree that it’s not the best body and chassis to accommodate this engine but I still like the idea of it.

If zee Germans are whacking twin turbo V8's into theres, why not a 5L in ours... but I also agree, these types or cars shouldn't exist, would have a Lexus one though 😛 🤣

I've seen that RX V8 in a marty motoring video. What a wonderful marriage which Lexus should do personally speaking. I'd rob a bank to buy one lol.
