Lusso XT

The Lusso XT is one of the unlockable cars in Tokyo in Midnight Club II.

Resemblance
The Lusso XT resembles a 1998 Lexus GS 300/Toyota Aristo (S160), without the foglights in the front and brake lights in the rear.

Description
"'Luxury sedan. Excellent top speed capabilities. Little reaction from collisions. Unlocked by beating Ichiro in Tokyo.' - In-game description"

Performance
The Lusso XT is one of the fastest cars in the game in terms of top speed, being the only car to be able to reach 249 mph (402 km/h) in career mode (with nitrous). With the second highest mass in the whole game and responsive handling, it is brutal in straightaways and can even keep up or even beat the lighter, wilder jet-powered SLF450X on freeways. However, it is only limited to freeways, since a very large steering circle, very poor low-end acceleration and being a fragile car means that it is a poor choice in any other competition. The handling weakness can be remedied using the handbrake like the Torque JX, but its strong grip and responsiveness means it may spin out easily. The player can also use it during races in the rain because of its strong capabilities.

The top speed of the Lusso XT makes the car useful against Ken'Ichi and the world champion Savo in Tokyo.

Top speed
The maximum speed of the Lusso XT without nitrous is 226 mph (363 km/h) and 249 mph (402 km/h) with nitrous.

Trivia

 * The word "lusso" means "luxury" in Italian.

 * Its high top speed suggests that the car has been heavily modified.
