Admiring the curves of a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model is one thing, but automaker Lexus is actually letting you drive it. As the Official Automotive Marketing partner of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit property, Lexus has created the TORI 500, showcasing an actual racetrack the automaker created in the shape of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Tori Praver’s body. Professional race car driver Scott Pruett and professional stunt driver Greg Tracy show that handling a swimsuit model's curves isn't as easy as it looks (well Bikini.com staffers could have told you that as well.)
