The Toyota Aristo debuted in Japan in late 1991. Designed by the hand of Giorgetto Giugiaro at the famous Ital Design Studio in Italy its concept was to be the 'new' shape of saloons for the 1990's. It was also Toyota's first large sized sport saloon. The monocoque body and double wishbone suspension was needed for the Aristo as the engines chosen to power the new car included the 230hp 3.0-litre 2JZ-GE and the even more powerful 280hp 3.0-litre turbo'd 2JZ-GTE Vertex model. During its production run a 4.0-litre 260hp V8 1UZ-FE model was added, the "Zi-Four" , complete with 4-wheel steering. For the world market it was branded as the Lexus GS300, it had to compete with the four door saloons from the top marques from Europe and America, even so it quickly took its place amongst the best. ​

If you can engineering some, you can use the 4x4 Tundra drivetrain. That would be an fabrication headaches...

There was also an AWD 2JZ-FSE, but never a GTE


And it would have been fulltime AWD
