From Executive Sedan to Track Beast
The 2010 Toyota Crown Royal Saloon VIP is, in most people’s eyes, a stately executive sedan destined for air suspension and polished chrome deep-dish wheels. Yet in the eyes of its owner, executive refinement and competitive performance are anything but mutually exclusive. Despite a lengthy daily commute, this Crown’s performance DNA runs deep. A Border S1 coilover setup with 14K front and 10K rear springs, paired with Cusco front and rear strut bars, brake master cylinder brace, and tower bar, comprehensively reinforces chassis rigidity. Genuine 19-inch RAYS TE37 SL wheels with Alcon Car97 calipers and MX72 brake pads ensure uncompromised rolling and stopping performance at every turn.
Personalized Cabin and JDM Exterior
Inside the cabin, Recaro bucket seats paired with TAKATA four-point harnesses set a purposeful tone. A Momo Full Speed 348 steering wheel fitted with Lexus ISC steering wheel buttons perfectly retains the vehicle’s original ACC functionality, accented by a GHOSTEXPOD purple ring ghost horn cover and a RAZO carbon fiber shift knob. On the exterior, a full URS206 Majesta JDM conversion includes front bumper with brake ducts, grille, gauge cluster, license plate frame, and rear fog light. TOM’S one-touch engine start, front lip, rear lip, rear wing, and roof wing complete the aggressive aesthetic, while an HKS exhaust tail section delivers a signature note, and a MARUKO electroplated horn adds individuality.
Owner’s Story: Family, Not Just a Car
“This car has shared many wonderful moments with me, traveled to many places, and left countless unforgettable memories. To me, he is family.” This 13th-generation Crown has conquered racetracks, mountain passes, and drift circuits, an unconventional executive sedan by every measure. Through this car, the owner has met like-minded friends and gained irreplaceable experiences. “Taking him to do things others cannot understand, that is what makes him the most special.”
