Wheels are turning and hooves are trotting in anticipation of the upcoming Steeplechase of Charleston presented by Lexus. This annual event is both exhilarating and enchanting, drawing in large crowds for a day of action-packed horse races, holiday shopping, and celebratory champagne toasts. Hendrick Lexus Charleston proudly sponsors Steeplechase of Charleston,
underscoring its dedication to luxury as well as community engagement. This particular partnership sets the stage for an event that fuses elegance with local spirit.
Wilbur Wiggins, a Master Certified Sales and Leasing Consultant at Hendrick Lexus Charleston expressed that, “being involved in the Steeplechase reinforces our dedication to community involvement, aligning Hendrick Lexus Charleston with local traditions while promoting corporate social responsibility through our Hendrick Cares Program.” This program aims to support local events and develop meaningful connections with customers, and the broader Charleston community.
Like racehorses eagerly bursting out of their stables, Hendrick Lexus Charleston is excited to unveil its latest model — The GX. Unlike any model previously, this luxurious and spacious vehicle is the epitome of the Steeplechase sensibility, embodying that of family, function and fun. “We are most excited to showcase the all-new GX model. This newly redesigned Lexus GX550
combines rugged off-road capability with premium comfort and advanced technology. It’s perfect for those who value adventure without compromising on luxury,” Wilbur Wiggins of Hendrick Lexus noted.
From the GX 550 Premium to the all-new GX 550 Over-Trail, these powerful SUVs are engineered for performance, much like racehorses at their starting gates. Equipped with a V6 twin-turbo and boasting upwards of 349 horsepower, the Lexus GX stands strong like a stallion, ready for any adventure on the open road. The Steeplechase of Charleston also offers a one-of-a-kind VIP experience, made possible by Hendrick Lexus Charleston, that’s “designed to reflect Lexus’ dedication to luxury, innovation,
and attention to detail, leaving attendees with a lasting impression of the brand’s premium lifestyle offerings,” according to Wiggins.
The Lexus VIP Lounge will transport you into transcendental bliss as you sit in plush, shaded seating with panoramic views of the racecourse, savoring local culinary delights and sipping top-shelf cocktails. Here, guests can mingle with fellow equestrian enthusiasts and industry leaders, all while enjoying the lively chaos of corgis, mares, and congratulatory cheers. In addition to exclusive lounge access, VIP guests will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on demonstrations showcasing Lexus’ latest features.
