Aristo I-Four
Just wondering if any one knew anything about this car. I know it's not quite a 2GS, but I had never heard anything about it until I stumbled across this...

I think it would be pretty sweet with the updated 1 UZFE with VVTI.

Yeah, I guess. I had never heard of it before. Sometimes I wish our GS 400's had 4 wheel drive so driving in the snow wouldn't be such a hassle.

Nothing new.. In Japan, that was one of the options.

Prevents you from accelerating too quickly.
The v8 is cool and all, but the non VVTI version is pretty much as slow as our cars.

It was a failed production trim. The awd sucks too. Look up the 1uz supercharged i-four aristo that drifts. its red. He converted back to RWD

I bet it does plenty in Florida. Even with good snow tires all around, I’ve struggled here in Canada.
