Sophisticated and powerful, the 1997 Toyota Aristo V300 took the reins of what the JZS147 offered in the earlier 90’s and gave a push to what the modern luxury sports sedans would become in the future. Propelled along by the now famous 2JZ-GTE, the Aristo V300 gives a subtly intimidating stance from outside, a refined interior, and the power to keep up with anything else on the road.
This updated V300 Aristo still comes from factory with the legendary 2JZ-GTE, however unlike its predecessor, it now features Toyota’s VVTi system, allowing torque to increase and provide smoother power delivery. It’s paired to a 4 speed automatic transmission, putting all that power to the road smoothly through the rear wheels. Though elegant as it may be, the Aristo packs a punch. The legendary twin turbo 3.0 Liter produces 276 HP and pushes this sedan along without a flinch.
Inside, you’ll be greeted by an elegant cabin featuring grey leather seats that emanate sophistication and comfort. Spacious seating ensures a relaxed experience for both driver and passengers, making it an excellent choice for long journeys or daily commutes. The soft upholstery and premium materials display Toyota’s focus on creating a luxurious sports sedan and the thoughtful layout of controls and instrumentation ensures a smooth driving experience. Equipped with power and heated front seats, power windows, power folding and adjustable mirrors, telescoping steering wheel, digital climate control, Tiptronic shift buttons, power locks and subtle wood grain accents to compliment the gray leather interior, it’s clear Toyota wanted the Aristo to be an experience to be driven. Aside from some wear in the leather seats, consistent with the vehicles age, the interior is in overall tip-top shape with ample creature comforts.
Finished in Atlantic Blue Pearl (color code 8L4), this Aristo is a visual standout. The deep, rich hue accentuates the car’s sophisticated design, and adding a modern touch to enhance its sport-sedan focus are 17-inch Enkei RP05 wheels wrapped in all new rubber. The body is well maintained, exhibiting the robust build quality that Toyota focused on with all their vehicles in both classic and modern times.
This 1997 Toyota Aristo V300 is an exceptional example of a luxury performance sedan with undeniable JDM heritage. A true “wolf in sheep’s clothing,” its unassuming elegance hides the heart of a twin-turbo legend. This Aristo is ready to thrill at a moment’s notice, all while maintaining the sophistication, comfort, and driving experience of a premium luxury sedan.
