At CES 2024, Razer captivated fans of both video games and automobiles with an innovative concept that blends two worlds: gaming and luxury vehicles. The event in Las Vegas, known for showcasing some of the wildest tech projects, introduced a concept car that stands out for its integration of high-performance gaming gear. While concept cars are often just a glimpse of future possibilities, this one, developed in collaboration with Lexus, might just be something we hope to see in the market soon.
The Razer Lexus TX: A Gamer’s Dream SUV
The Razer Lexus TX is an SUV unveiled during the Esports Awards 2023 in Las Vegas, making its way back to the same city for even more spectacular reactions from the public. On the surface, the vehicle appears to be a typical SUV, but it’s far from ordinary. With sleek matte finishes, it proudly displays the Razer logo in a glossy black, and green LED lights reminiscent of Razer’s gaming accessories. These visual cues give a clear indication that this vehicle is designed with gamers in mind.
The Ultimate Gaming Experience Inside
While the exterior of the car is impressive, it’s the interior that truly steals the show. Hidden within the cabin are ultra-high-performance gaming stations created by Razer. These include keyboards, mice, screens, and even mats that are integrated into the second and third-row seats. This setup essentially turns the SUV into the first mobile esports team. According to Bob Picunko, Razer’s marketing director, the vehicle goes far beyond simple aesthetic modifications: “The Razer Lexus TX takes gaming to a whole new level, with multiple gaming stations embedded throughout the expansive interior. With the second and third rows replaced by four of our Razer Iskur gaming chairs, we’re honored that Lexus chose our chair for this ultimate gaming vehicle.”
More Than Just a Car
The collaboration between Razer and Lexus doesn’t end with the car itself. They’ve also created a documentary series detailing the design and development of the vehicle, particularly focusing on the integrated gaming system. The vehicle features a full Xbox Series X setup and numerous Razer accessories, all with the brand’s signature lighting.
The Razer Iskur chair, chosen for its exceptional comfort, was also showcased in its second version at CES 2024. With this unique setup, one can only hope that the Razer Lexus TX is equipped with top-notch suspension to handle the bumps of travel. Additionally, finding a stable network connection for gaming while on the move remains a challenge. These are the limitations that highlight the fact that concept cars are more about showcasing the capabilities of the brands involved rather than offering a fully functional product for consumers just yet.
