Toyota Aristo Vertex Twin Turbo 6 Speed Manual

Basically the Lexus GS300 but with the MK4 2JZ-GTE twin turbo 320 BHP supra engine available in Japan but not the UK.

Apart from the obvious bodykit/wheels etc. this one has also been converted to manual using the Supra 6-speed box.

It's pure pimp-daddy drug dealer, and I think it's awesome :cool:

Thing is, its absolutely useless as a car. Unless its got 'pimp style' air suspension.

You'd never get it over a speed bump, over a curb or a slight change in gradient, and lets face it, we are inundated with them over here.

It's on fully adjustable coilovers. TBH there isn't a lot of difference between that car and my car's height from the road at the front:

Speed bumps are possible, just very slowly. I've never come across a problem with changes in gradient etc.
 
LOL at all this name lark, I must admit I had heared of the Aristo, but never the 'vertex' model.

Drexel, never seen your rex before, but mmmmmmmmmm it looks tasty. How much could i pick a good one up for in a few years?

Thanks dude :cool:

Hard to say how much they will be in a few years, at the moment you'll pay anything from £3-4k for a dodgy one needing a rebuild to £12k upwards for a stunning late example.

£7-8k will get you a nice one at the moment.
