This Toyota Aristo has a twin turbo 2JZ-GTE legendary engine. It has 179,000 kms which is only 111,000 miles.
The car comes with paint code 051 diamond white pearl and interior trim code of FB23 which is a dark or medium charcoal depending on the piece. The wood grain panels are a eye catching charcoal swirl wood color.
This Aristo is also the VERTEX edition which has the dark ash wood interior, black interior, leather wrapped 3-spoke steering wheel, leather and wood shift lever, colored front grill, rear mounted spoiler with LED stop lamp, ark woodgrain panels, vertex emblem, two-tone fabric seats, Aristo premium sound system, HID headlamps with auto leveling and yellow fog lamps. This interior was redone in plush black leather. We actually found these to be more comfortable compared to the stock cloth seats.
The Toyota Aristo or Lexus GS300 was a touring sedan nestled in between the smaller Lexus IS or Toyota Altezza and the larger LS400 or Toyota Celsior. This V300 Aristo was also equipped with the 2JZ-GTE Twin Turbo motor!
The JDM motor differed slightly from the US Spec Toyota Supra 2JZ-GTE twin turbo motor. The Aristo has sequential twin ceramic turbos with VVT-i mated to the 4-speed auto transmission. The timing belt has been changed in the past. They completed the job with a Mitsuboshi belt.
This car features a sunroof and a spoiler. It also has an aftermarket navigation unit with the factory separate climate control unit. This will make it easy to have a separate climate control unit while installing your own stereo and navigation assembly. The strut bar pictured in the video has been removed and is not included.
The US spec GS300 gauge cluster can probably also be installed if you prefer the MPH readings.
