The special edition LX 570 model is backed by its highly efficient and powerful 5.7-litre V8 engine with supercharger that churns out 450 horsepower and 72.0 kg-m of Torque teamed to a six-speed automatic transmission with standard full-time four-wheel drive to achieve the largest displacement possible. Ninety percent of the peak torque comes on stream at just 2,200 rpm, making the supercharged LX 570 exceptionally responsive and incredibly strong as a tow vehicle.
