Please. The Toyota Century might have luxury, but it’s all about fluff and no substance. Choose BMW it’s about performance and driving pleasure. Sure, the Century has plush seats and an opulent interior, but a BMW offers a perfect blend of luxury and unrivaled driving dynamics. When you drive a BMW, you're not just sitting in comfort-you’re experiencing precision engineering and exhilarating performance.
There is no carphone.... Thats for a walkman that acts as a recorder for dictating notes via the mic input jack you can find in the 2nd hidden bank of switches in the rear arm rest
Because the V12 Crown is an executive luxury vehicle. It isn’t a car you drive, like a Rolls Royce, it’s a car you’re driven in. Back passenger luxury is the entire point.
Lmao I saw a video on that not long ago someone was talking ab a new “rolls Royce” and I was jokingly thinking Lexus and home boy said Toyota I was like Ayo wait
Yakuza aren't even allowed to have it even tho their love for Japan is so strong you won't see them with any Japan cars they will only use European cars
@mayuravirus6134 this is before the ban placed on yak. In Japan yak are not allowed to purchase and vehicles so they had to smuggle through it themselves that'd why it were foreigns.
And here i thought my 2000 Mazda Millenia S had some great features for its time. I wonder what Japan's version/equivalent had. Yes im aware that Mazda is Japanese but im realizing that the ones built here in the states may be bare bones compared to some options in Japan. This channel is teaching me so much, im subscribing now.
More so. Look at all the bells and whistles on cars from the mid 20th century. Compared to now where you can’t tell the difference between a Japanese and American car.
This vehicle was reserved for high class members of Japanese society. Including Toyota CEO. They weren't for sale, you had to be invited to get one if I remember correctly. It's amazing you've got one. Nice.
I used to drive my grandma’s 1990’s fleetwood cadillac let me tell you.. that FUCKING CAR WAS SO NICE!!!!! it had it’s issues for being old (falling apart) but the leather, the cruise, the exhaust, the steering, the everything was SOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOD The trunk also had soft close the trunk was spacious +++ had a spare wheel hidden under the trunk compartment (AMAZING) the seats had some of the best customization for adjustment ever & my sibling has a kia telluride 2020 & it compares well to that, if not BETTER.
A reminder that this is only production V12 ever came out of Japan and the engine is so expensive to make that they decided to end MK4 supra production this engine was still offered afaik till 2012
As a Toyota fanboy I need one of these one day! In today’s market that car would be branded with a double R and cost about half a million dollars. Toyota really made a mob boss car!
This is Toyota's vehicle that should have been released in the United States. It is definitely their flagship Toyota. And I would love them to see a Lexus version of this as well. That would be incredible beefed up V12 with high performance suspension and all the other gadgets a little bit better than the original bulletproof Toyota parts.
That cord is not for a car phone. It's for a tape recorder that's supposed to plug Into it. Then you press that little microphone button above the rear temp controls and it allows you to record onto the cassette tape
I was given one of these in Japan as a courtesy car when my Bentley went in for a service. In many ways i prefered this car. I was sad to give it back. So i bought one a month later. I drive the Toyota more than the Bentley now. And it's cooler and far less pretentious 😊
They literally put every available option out in the world in this thing except making it fully armored and the machine guns that come out of the headlights oh and the grappling hook for fast turns and the oil dispenser out the tail pipes you know to make the people chasing you crash but other then that it’s good
Wish u would have got into the motor and drive train specs. Like hp torque mpg break setup suspension setup. Rwd fwd or awd? Weight 0 to 60 time. Thats what I want to know. Turbo or supercharged. Duel 6 or straight 12?
toyota still making century until today, but its only for japanese market, literally, you can't import the newer one but yeah, the older still feels better than nowadays luxury cars😅

More exclusive. You can choose to buy a Rolls. These, you had to be chosen by Toyota to be invited to buy it.

These are basically Japan's answer to Rolls Royce.
An expensive luxury car is nicer than a standard production modern car, excellent reasoning there maestro.

By today's standards this car is exceptional
The sun shades can slide out. A great feature
Very impressive even today 🎉

Big body vehicles from the 90s are the best classics

WOW Even back then people appreciated executive features
More so. Look at all the bells and whistles on cars from the mid 20th century. Compared to now where you can’t tell the difference between a Japanese and American car.
That is absolutely amazing, i would love to have that many gadgets in my modern car also if I had to go back to tapes and cds
I forgot that cars had ashtrays on the doors. I used to play with the little doors when I was little.
every time i saw this car, i always remember those guys in japan swapping a century's exhaust with a 10k aftermarket and driving it around car meet😂
Did the aftermarket exhaust increase power?
Tape, CD, AND ash trays! Now that is luxury!!!!

I drove a 94 bmw 740 iL. It was such a nice car compared to what’s out there today.
I know someone with the much newer 2016 V8 that replaced the V12 Toyota century in Europe we can import any age of car we don't have to wait .
Yooooo that is sick! I’d imagine that the Yakuza used it.
It's like a Lincoln but more Lincoln in every conceivable way

Easy to drive it more than a Bentley... that would spend its life at the shop

presentation is very well done - you can sell any car as hot 🔥
Beautiful.. I'd take it over 95% of what's being produced today
When Toyota realised they need a different brand name for the luxury cars they can create. . .and went with Lexus
Definitely the most luxurious Jdm of the century
Engineers what happened ?!? So many awesome features that where practical and available back then and now …
Not just all that luxury and comfort you get a V12
Beautiful. I want one.
These were built for Japanese Royalty snd government bigwigs. Of course they were cutting edge and the best of the best!
