The TLC ICON SCORE BAJA 1000 EDITION pays tribute to the world’s most famous off-road race the only way it knows how: by rolling over anything in its path.

In 1962 tow American men on motorcycles spent roughly 40 hours navigation the cacti and dust between Tijuana and La Paz, Mexico, time-stamping cards at the telegraph offices in both towns as proof of their run.  Their bravado inspired the inaugural Baja 10000 race in 1967, and now off-road skunk-works TLC celebrates the 40th anniversary of the peninsular sprint with its won triumph of will: the Icon Score Baja 1000 edition. It is a brutish beast, engineered to see boulders as mere speed bumps and blaze trails where even nimble fauna fear to tread.  Hand-built and heavily fortified, its suspension articulates like a G.I. Joe action figure while endless torque pours forth from a 450-horsepower V-8 (bio-diesel is available, too). The brushed aluminum and alligator skin black of the body bring butch flair, but the spartan interior with only headlight and wiper controls joining a GPS and gauges on the dashboard, confirms that this vehicle exists for one reason: to conquer that which begs conquering.  ($145,000.00)
