The Toyota Aristo is an iconic car that has often lived in the shadows of flagship 1990s sports cars. Sold exclusively to the Japanese Domestic Market, it is a car that is not only just home to the legendary Twin Turbo 2JZ-GTE engine, it was the first car to ever come with it. Considered to be one of the all-time greatest engines, does it deserve the title of the one and only 'Four Door Supra'?

Or the Supra is half Aristo and Lexus SC 300/400 Coupe(300 has the 2JZ. And the Supra A80 MK4 literally came from the SC 400/300)

Absolutely love Aristos. Makes so much sense to have one now with JDM cars hiking up in price at an insane rate. Here in Aus a proper 2jz TT supra goes for anywhere between & $80,000 - $150,000+ meanwhile grab one of the meanest, quickest family sedan for a bargain $20,000 - $40,000. Makes a lot of sense to me why the Artisto is a legend in its own right 😁

I have a chevy trailblazer currently and want a fast fun second vehicle and iv narrowed down the choices between a chevy camaro SS around 2012 or an early 2000s lexus gs300 that I'll build to the same specs replicating the twin turbo JDM Aristo making around 400 horsepower. It's hard to decide but I'm leaning towards the GS300 cuz it would be more practical and a really badass sleeper sedan.

Glad I got mine 7 years ago. Prices are retarded now. Cool cars though, and not many people knew what it was. Also pwr button just holds gears longer, doesn’t “change engine mapping”. And the power level on stock twins gets old after a while tbh.

U can find the Aristo as a S300 with a 2jz GE for as low as 10k, maybe even lower if u can find it but the V300 with the GTE can cost between 15k-25k. U could probably get it cheaper if you import yourself from Japan.

@@pnwsmoke6758⁠⁠⁠eh kinda, u can find Aristos with the GTE under 100k miles for around the same price. 130k isn't too bad since its a 2j and 130k isn't even half of the engine's lifespan but you can definitely find an Aristo with like 80k miles for like 17k-18k.
