Aristo (know as ARISTO V300 "VERTEX EDITION") is a car produced by Toyota Motor Corporation which was 1st introduced in Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 3.
Description[]
This is a 4-door sporty sedan car with lots of internal space. Although its max output level falls into the range of self-imposed regulation, its large emission volume and twin turbo engine generate extreme torque. Its engine power is higher than normal sports cars. And because it is a 4-speed (automatic in real life) car, you can enjoy driving comfortably.
The car itself was driven by Yumeko Sasaki aka Ms. Sasaki, the wife of Gatchan, only appeared in Story 27 of Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 4 where she drove Aristo however the car (with taxi variant) is removed in the U.S. version of Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 5 along with Toyota Celsior. Ms. Sasaki's personal car in that version was replaced by the Chaser (JZX100).
Reviews[]
The car is almost never driven in arcades outside of Japan, but is incredibly popular among players in Japan, so much so that it is classified as a "noob car" in Japan.
Its performance is well within the top-tier range due to it's previously slow (until WMMT4), but top-tier acceleration and one of the best handling cars for a 4-speed vehicle. Hence, it exits sharp turns relatively well with its stability and is good for races in courses packed with turns. The car also boasts heavy weight, boost and blocking ability.
Hence, this car is most often used to get venue crowns and OCM races.
The car is compared to the Nissan Leopard as it has similar properties, but the Leopard is slightly more superior as it is smaller overall. However, the Aristo is far more accessible as the Leopard is a limited car.
Outside Japan, this car is known as the Lexus GS.
