Modellista, Toyota’s own customization brand in Japan, is at this year’s SEMA Show in Las Vegas to test potential new products for the U.S. market. And boy, is there something… special about it. The company dressed up a new Toyota Land Cruiser with an assortment of futuristic off-road goodies, turning the SUV into a Cyberpunk-esque overlander from the future.
Called the Modellista Overland Vision Concept, the Land Cruiser features external body armor and brush wires to protect against dings, dents and scratches, as well as a roof rack, headlight protection and blackout elements. Along the sides, Modellista installed polygonal side bars shaped to fit the rear windows.

The aftermarket specialist also uses LEDs to accentuate the SUV’s styling. It features a full-width light bar along the hood, above the distinctive Toyota grille. It also has green LED accents on the bumper, the brand’s signature color, new fascias and a ladder to reach the roof.
The company says the rugged Land Cruiser explores what’s possible with Modellista products in the United States as it focuses on U.S. customer needs and off-road customization trends. It plans to incorporate these designs into its future lineup here, and it will depend on how people respond to the construction at SEMA.
We hope people like it. More rugged goodies for the new Land Cruiser are always welcome.
