Was taking a look through Manabu "MAX" Ordio's official blog this afternoon when I found this cool photo of the JZS161 Aristo that he will be drifting this year. From what I can gather, this is the same car that he used in Formula D last year, with a few changes. There's some new graphics repping Orido's long time friends at the
As you probably gathered from the teaser photo I posted the other day, I recently took a trip to the famous headquarters and factory of HKS, which is located near the base of Mt. Fuji in Shizuoka Prefecture. Japan's clogged highways made for a long drive out to Shizuoka from Tsukuba, but It was more than worth it to experience the home of what's
Sometimes there are just too many cars that we Speedhunters want to shoot, and we just don't have the time or budget to go visit them all. Such is the case with Barry Wong's JZS147 Aristo - I've known about it for quite some time now. I've been wanting to shoot this car ever since I first heard about it, but it lives all the way out
As cool as the JZS161 Toyota Aristo is, the car was always known more as a relaxed highway cruiser compared to it's athletic European counterparts like the BMW 5-series. Luckily though, the JZS161 shares a lot with cars like the Toyota Supra, and that means it has potential to be much more than just a luxury sedan. I've seen a few Aristos at
Over the past few weeks I have been on kind of a JZS616 Aristo kick, digging up everything I can about these sexy four-doors. I have found that it's not the VIP versions that impress me so much, but the traditionally tuned versions like this one from Impact Magic which was shown at Tokyo Auto Salon this year. To me, this car is perfection. Aggressive
Yesterday, as we walked into the pits at the Honjo MSC event, we were all a little awestruck by the amazing drift cars at hand. One of the the most interesting cars we spotted there, however, was not even a drift car. When we saw this strange looking pink machine rolling through the pits, we were all thinking "What the hell is that?". Now
The Toyota Aristo or commonly known as the Lexus GS series is a very popular platform within the VIP scene. Companies like Junction Produce, Aimgain and Job Design still offer several body kits for this car. The car came with the indestructible 2JZ twin turbo engine (code JZS161) to give it the performance other cars didn't had. This customer car
Man, this car was sure fun to drive! To be completely up front with you, I don't have a ton of photos of this car - because most of the time I spent with it, I decided to drive it rather than document it. The car you're looking at is a JZS161 (in the USA, it's a Lexus GS300 or GS400, depending on which engine it has) - a fairly common car
While I love VIP style cars as much as the next guy, I think sometimes it can be a little boring seeing the same sort of builds over and over again. That is why I knew I had to share this JZS147 Toyota Aristo (first generation Lexus GS300 in the states) that I found on Japan's Minkara website. If you haven't heard of it, Minikara is like a Myspace
