Apparently Aido it's a limited edition ONLY 250 to be produced Here is the Bumf on it..

If you've ever wondered what a Zagato-bodied Lexus RX might look like, you now have an answer.

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Toyota's Toyopet dealerships, the automaker has worked with the legendary design studio to produce the Harrier Zagato for the Japanese market. It was unveiled today at the 2006 Tokyo Auto Gallery, a tuner/specialty car show now in its 6th year. Only 250 examples will be built.

A pure appearance package, the Zagato modifications take the sleek and sedate Harrier and give it the look of a rally car. The front fascia is overhauled with an open-look grille, new bumper, and a lip spoiler that houses round foglights. The changes continue as you walk around the car. Bulging, ventilated fender flares and lower body cladding carry the aggressive new profile to the rear, where you find revised bumper and a deeper roof spoiler. Gold five-spoke Zagato Design wheels complete the package.

The interior is left intact save for some new aluminum trim.

Based on on the Harrier 240G "L" (2.4L 4 cyl) and 350G "L" (3.5L V6), the Harrier Zagato can be ordered with either 2WD or 4WD powertrains for both engines. Prices, depending on drivetrain selection, range from ¥4,935,000 ($42,000 USD) to ¥5,712,000 ($48,800 USD). Colors are red mica metallic or white pearl crystal.

That's bizarre, it looks like it should be rapid but it's only an appearance package so they've not tinkered with the performance!

That's a good point, something i've never considered though, is the RX300 based of the 2JZ-GE? Just wondered why you never really hear of any turbo'd examples, don't think I can remember ever seeing a highly modified one?
