Carscoop 2011-2012: Wacky Lexus RX400h dressed in wood by Carrozzeria Castagna Milano

Since you seemed to like the elegantly pimped (…), one-off Toyota Prius we posted up a few days ago we thought you’d certainly dig this. Snapped by our Italian friends at Autoblog.it parked somewhere in Milan, this is one special RX400h. See, unlike your usual tuning-locos who'd either go to an aftermarket specialist or Lexus, the owner of this hybrid SUV thought of something a… tad more drastic; he summoned upon Italian design house, Carrozzeria Castagno Milano to pimp his ride! -Continued after the jump

Obviously a sucker for wood, the "rich and tasteless" owner got his RX400h dressed with exterior wood panels on the bumpers and side mouldings. The exterior package also consists of a white mask, brown colour plastic mouldings and a…Kevlar look-alike roof spoiler. Mods inside include hand stitched, light-brown colour leathering and of course, plenty of wood inserts!... What a woody-wood-pecker!
