Lexus just revealed its most twisted vehicle everThe brand partnered with MSCHF to turn two electrified SUVs into mind-bending works of artGEEKSPINHelena StoneUpdatedFri, September 25, 2026 at 5:33 PM UTCAdd us on GoogleCircle Car: A fully electric Lexus RZ 450e bent nose-to-tail into an unbroken loop, frozen in an infinite donut.Lexus usually spends its auto-show budgets chasing aerodynamic perfection, pristine spindle grilles, and whisper-quiet electric luxury. This week, however, the automaker decided to do something completely unhinged: it handed over two of its production electrified SUVs to Brooklyn art collective MSCHF and let them turn the vehicles into physical mind-benders.If there's one thing MSCHF knows how to do, it's take consumer culture, run it through a blender, and serve it back to us as high-concept absurdity. From microscopic Louis Vuitton handbags to giant cartoonish red boots, the collective lives to poke at design conventions. For their latest project, MOTOMORPHOSIS, debuting during New York's Armory Week, they quite literally bent two luxury electrified Lexus vehicles into sculptural head-scratchers.Twisted Car: A plug-in hybrid Lexus RX 450h+ subjected to brutal longitudinal torque, wringing out the sheet metal, glass, and grille as if someone wrung the SUV like a wet towel. ©Image Credit: MSCHFInstead of rolling out typical, ultra-polished concept cars, MSCHF went in the exact opposite direction. They took two production vehicles and warped them like rubber in a 3D animation glitch:AdvertisementAdvertisementCircle Car: A fully electric Lexus RZ 450e bent nose-to-tail into an unbroken loop, frozen in an infinite donut.Twisted Car: A plug-in hybrid Lexus RX 450h+ subjected to brutal longitudinal torque, wringing out the sheet metal, glass, and grille as if someone wrung the SUV like a wet towel.Both pieces sit right beside their unmodified, showroom-ready counterparts inside Chelsea Industrial in Manhattan. The contrast is wild. You're looking at standard, road-legal luxury crossovers next to versions that look like a rendering software crash spilled into reality.MSCHF refers to these creations as "Form Cars," flipping the idea of automotive motion on its head. Real cars are built around actual mechanical transit; these are frozen sculptures designed to trick your brain into feeling speed, warping, and momentum through pure distortion.Unsurprisingly, neither of these rides is street-legal—and the non-factory modifications definitely void the warranty. But as a cheeky intersection of car culture, digital CGI physics, and gallery art, it's easily one of the most fun automotive collabs we've ever seen.AdvertisementAdvertisementIf you are in New York and want to see this crazy warped metal in person, the installation is open to the public through Saturday, September 26, at Chelsea Industrial (545 W. 28th St.).
