The Toyota Century is Japan's Rolls Royce, it's one of the few cars there with a V12 engine and has been in production since 1967. In 2011 they released this concept, the FS Hybrid.
I cannot understand why it was never put into production or why the actual Century wasn't face lifted to look like this because it looks so classy and a great example of modernising something whilst keeping the design lineage obvious. Keeping that great boxy look but brings it bang up to date.
It's basically what Toyota's flagship would look like if they did what Rolls Royce did with the Phantom. Funnily enough the Emperor's custom built 'Century Royal' from 2006 looks a lot like this concept. I think GT needs more luxury cars and seeing as they love home models this would be a perfect candidate along with the current production Century.
