LONG FORM DESCRIPTION (SEO)This 2001 Toyota Aristo VA300 TOM’S (JZS161) pairs the refinement of the V300 platform with factory-approved TOM’S performance and styling. Under the bonnet sits the renowned 2JZ-GTE 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six, factory-rated in Japan at 280 ps and 46.0 kgf·m through a 4-speed Super ECT automatic to the rear wheels. The VA300 program elevates that base with a TOM’S-tuned ECU and stainless exhaust, improving throttle response and mid-range while preserving day-to-day reliability. Chassis hardware remains true to the Aristo’s engineering brief—aluminum double-wishbones at each corner and ventilated discs all around—enhanced by TOM’S Advox suspension that gives the VA300 a tauter, more controlled ride without sacrificing comfort. Externally, the full TOM’S aero kit and TOM’S wheels deliver a purposeful stance, complemented by projector HID headlamps. Inside, you keep the dual-zone climate control, cruise, and power conveniences that made the JZS161 such an effortless GT. As one of the most desirable JZS161 derivatives, the VA300 TOM’S strikes a rare balance of daily usability, authentic TOM’S pedigree, and 2JZ-GTE performance—an excellent choice for enthusiasts seeking a turnkey, limited-production Aristo with genuine factory-tuning heritage.
