Toyota Century (2nd Gen) 1997

[L8 Apex]

The second-generation Toyota Century is the only Japanese production car powered by a V12 engine (an engine not shared with any other Toyota product). The 2005-and-later models feature a 6-speed automatic transmission. It's not much of a performance car, but it would be an interesting diversion.

A V12 Toyota?? How can I not vote for this?? 👍👍

 

[CaptainTNT]

I Voted. I like cars with 12 cylinders since V12s are my favourite engines. I hope the Toyota Century will get a chance to come into Gran Turismo.

And it's also the only Japanese production car to have a V12 engine.

It's not that surprising...narrow streets, high fuel bills and stringent government laws mean no real need to have a massive V12 in your lineup.

On a side note, here's another Century:

The Buick Century, circa late 90s. Sold in Japan as..........Buick Regal, 'cuz Toyota owned "Century" name.

A massive luxury v12 car with **** tonnes of leather and wood weighing under two tonnes?

Gotta love the Japanese.

Didn't know that, sweet.

Century can run as Inline-6 if one bank dies. Doesn't matter in a game though.

 

[Heldenzeit]

Would be easy to drift with its long wheelbase.

 

[NekoPufferPPP]

Would be great if we could have this car in GT7, with possible exhaust upgrades teased in the trailer. Make it sound something like effspot's Century just for the lols:

I was sort of surprised this car wasn't already in game. How many of these suggestions are actually used?
