Vertex Aristo

Lately I have become positively obsessed with the Toyota 2JZ platform. I have also been obsessed with Takahiro Ueno’s tuning company T&E for quite some time. I was cruising Super Street’s website (they’re the only ones than can be bothered to feature Vertex cars) and came across Nob Taniguchi’s Toyota Aristo (USDM Lexus GS400). I won’t go on and on about this car, bottom line is, it’s sick as hell. T&E teamed up with the good people at HKS to build this car as an exhibition drifter for Taniguchi. No bullshit on this exterior. Very clean and OEM with a tasteful Vertex body kit and polished Advan RS. If I have one complaint, it’s those broke ass graphics.     This engine bay makes me giddy! It is so beautiful; 2JZ built motor expanded to 3.3L (if I’m correct), HKS T04Z turbine, with a Yashio Factory radiator. Everything else is HKS sweetness and check out the baller Wiggens clamps, T&E does not skimp.   This is an all business interior, no frills. Supportive Bride buckets, Vertex wheel, and STACK display. Also lets not forget that gangster cage by Okuyama.
