1000 posts and you dont know what vertex is?

Heh.....just messing with you. It's the Japanese Aristo with the 2JZ-GTE motor. Basically the GS300 here plus two turbos. In japan they dont have a GS400/430 instead they have the Vertex V300. Thats what this badge is all about. 280hp 300+torque. If you havent picked up already on this forum....this is a highly desirable car to the members here in the USA. Even I want one!

LOL, i knew of the Aristo V300, but didn't put together that they were Vertex Editions. Wow, sorry, definately slipped my mind. Being the Vertex edition and all, does it have the Vertex bodykit on it? Or anything else from the Vertex line?

Actually the 2JZ-GTE is simply the V300. "Vertex Edition" is basically the "high-end" edition of the Aristo. It adds a rear spoiler and upgraded audio system. It also makes the 16" wheels chromed on the S300 (2JZ-GE) and upgrades to 17" on the V300 (2JZ-GTE). To many's surprise, the Vertex Edition does not include leather seats. That's optional regardless of V300, S300, VE or not.
