Default interesting Aristo web site!

This site is Hong Kong I think, but it shows the V6 Turbo with 280 HP and 0-60 in 6.9 and 15's in the 1/4 mile. I thought it was faster than that?

BTW click on Kluger V (Toyota Highlander) from home page to find the Aristo link. Be sure to check out the Toyota "Origin". It appears to be a through back to the early days of Toyota with a Lexus interior.

To date, Japanese car manufacturers cant publish anything more than a 280 hp rating on their cars...... If Im not mistaken, you wont see any of their cars with a rating higher than that.... Ive heard that the Aristo dynos more like 305-315hp......

V-6 Turbo Also the Aristo(officially) has 276hp(280ps...I-6). I have seen many track #'s from Japan of v300's and they usually do low 14's(14.1).

that's just weird why they do it, especially since everyone knows its so untrue. skylines and aristos have the exact same rating? that gov't needs to just let it go

The U.S. Spec Supra Turbo dynoes at 330hp+ so I wouldn't be surprised if the v300 really puts out 305-315hp. The v300 stock 1/4 mile time would also support a higher hp rating.
