SEMA: Lexus RX 400h by 714 Motorsports & MOMO

MOMO USA and 714 Motorsports collaborated to create a customized version of the Lexus RX400h for the 2007 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. The hybrid SUV has received a series of cosmetic and chassis enhancements that include a full bodykit, 22-inch MOMO alloy rims in 235/35 R22 Toyo rubber, Eibach lowering kit, chromed detailing, high-end entertainment system and a Brembo brake kit. We don’t want to be rude or anything, but the specific RX400h was one of our less favorite customized vehicles at this year’s SEMA show. -Details and pics after the jump
