Transforming the 2009 Lexus RX350 into the Urban Outlaw Dragster redefines what an SUV can do on the strip. This build widens the stance to a commanding 1950mm track width using carbon fiber and aluminum composite widebody panels, marrying aggressive style with lightweight efficiency. The supercharged 3.5L V6 churns out over 750 horsepower, feeding power through a reinforced rear-wheel-drive drivetrain optimized for brutal quarter-mile bursts. Every element from the front splitter with integrated air curtains to the parachute-ready rear diffuser is engineered for launch dominance and drag stability. The stance is pure function meets form: a 60mm rear lift combined with a 40mm front drop creates the perfect rake for weight transfer and aerodynamic balance. Mickey Thompson 20x15 drag slicks grip the asphalt while lightweight 18x9 Weld Racing wheels up front reduce rotating mass. Heat extraction vents in the carbon rear hatch and a large NACA hood scoop ensure the supercharged V6 breathes hard during demanding runs. The Urban Outlaw Dragster stands ready to challenge conventions with its street-legal but track-focused aggression.
Blueprint // R012
This build is purpose-built for short-distance urban drag racing, excelling in quarter-mile sprints with a focus on traction, stability, and heat management. The wide track and drag optimized stance give it a planted feel at launch, while aerodynamic aids reduce lift and help maintain straight-line stability. Cooling vents and brake air curtains keep components in check during repeated high-intensity runs typical of underground street racing scenes.
Carbon fiber and aluminum composite widebody panels extending track width to 1950mm
Front bumper reshaped into splitter with integrated air curtains for brake cooling
Rear hatch replaced with lightweight carbon fiber panel featuring honeycomb heat extraction vents
60mm rear lift and 40mm front drop for aggressive drag racing rake
Large adjustable flat rear wing mounted on high struts for drag stability
Front splitter extending 110mm beyond OEM fascia
Vertical rear diffuser with integrated twin exhaust exits
NACA hood scoop feeding supercharged intake plenum
Aerodynamics focus on launch stability and component cooling, with a large adjustable flat rear wing mounted high to generate downforce without excessive drag. The front splitter extends beyond the stock bumper, incorporating air curtains that channel cooling air to the brakes. A vertical rear diffuser integrates twin exhaust exits and a parachute mount, blending function with a purposeful drag racing aesthetic. The prominent NACA hood scoop ensures the supercharged engine receives a dense, cool air charge.
Rear wheels: 20x15 inch Mickey Thompson drag slicks for maximum traction
Front wheels: 18x9 inch lightweight forged Weld Racing wheels to reduce unsprung weight
Rake stance setup optimizing launch weight transfer
Tires matched for drag strip grip and stability
The staggered wheel setup features 20x15 inch Mickey Thompson drag slicks at the rear for maximum grip and launch traction, while the front rides on lightweight 18x9 inch forged wheels from Weld Racing to reduce unsprung weight and improve steering response. This combination balances the need for brutal rear traction with nimble front-end control, essential for quick, stable launches off the line.
The stance is aggressively raked with a 60mm rear lift to aid in weight transfer during launch and a 40mm front drop to minimize aerodynamic drag and improve downforce. This setup enhances traction off the line while maintaining stability at high speeds. The widened track through functional widebody panels further increases lateral grip, making the RX350 a formidable presence on the drag strip.
Supercharged 3.5L V6 engine tuned to 750+ horsepower
Reinforced rear-wheel-drive drivetrain built for high torque loads
Optimized intake and exhaust flow for peak power delivery
Transmission and differential calibrated for rapid quarter-mile acceleration
At the heart of this build lies a supercharged 3.5L V6, meticulously tuned to exceed 750 horsepower. The forced induction setup features a large NACA hood scoop feeding a raised intake plenum, maximizing airflow and efficiency. This powerplant transforms the RX350’s naturally aspirated engine into a drag strip powerhouse, delivering instant torque and sustained high-rpm power critical for explosive quarter-mile performance.
The Urban Outlaw Dragster uses a reinforced rear-wheel-drive system specifically engineered to handle the immense torque from the supercharged V6. Upgraded transmission internals and a strengthened differential ensure power is efficiently transferred to the ground without loss or failure. The drivetrain’s calibration emphasizes rapid, clean launches and durability under the intense stresses of street strip runs.
Widebody panels crafted from carbon fiber and aluminum composites for lightness and strength
Rear hatch fabricated from carbon fiber with integrated venting for heat management
Custom front splitter and rear diffuser molded to blend aerodynamic function with aggressive styling
Chassis reinforced to handle increased torque and launch forces
