A Lexus [RZ]() 450e has been warped into a giant donut, and an [RX]() 450h+ has been twisted into- I don't even know ... it looks like a stretched bolt. Or a drill bit. Both have the kind of surrealist wackiness MSCHF is famous for. I'm not really cool enough to understand what [MSCHF]() is actually about or why it exists. Even its [Instagram feed]() is pretty chaotic and abstract. It's officially described as a "Brooklyn-based conceptual art collective" in [Lexus' press release](), so I guess they make art. Actually, that's not so hard to fathom; what the hell am I talking about? Anyway, the only context you really need is that it's an outfit making freaky modern art. The Lexus project is called MOTOMORPHOSIS and is part of New York's [Armory Week art show](). It sounds like they are, in fact, real-car-sized, and will probably look pretty cool in person. Along with these images, Lexus also included a bit of press-release boilerplate text that, in this context, is obviously pretty funny: "The vehicles shown are special project vehicles modified with non-Lexus parts that may void warranty, negatively impact safety, and not be street legal."
