Toyota Century

[MyLifeAsLouis]

any company modded and drifted this bitch? lol

[claudeleason]

I can tell that Toyota Century Royal version is a seriously great car. However the design is antique like. There is no need to hug the 80s.

[Joniel120]

Oh, Cheap Luxury car, many people can afford that than by buying a S-Class & BMW 7-series!!!

[Haffschlappe]

I LOVE THIS CAR !!!!! FANTASTIC QUALITY WORK !!!

[Haffschlappe]

Last real car !!!!

[metalicpsp]

What a car!! its so elegant and beautifully made.

[tanatej]

If it's good enough for the Emperor of Japan it's certainly good enough for me!

[ParkJongBum]

I wonder why Toyota didn't export Century?? If Toyota sell Century to Hong Kong, China, Europe, or U.S, Toyota can boost their market share little bit

[applejuicecanada]

looks very much like a taxi in Hong Kong

[mudkrab]

i like the car, its price is so much lower than most of the euro v12 luxury crap, and get this you can buy 10 year old used one that are in good condition for 6000 us dollars!!!!

[mondeost2202008]

Quintessentially Japanese!! This is how you make a classic luxury limousine. Rolls Royce and Maybach better take notes. Funny thing here is that Toyota have successfully achieved what the British Motoring industry has been trying to do and eventually failed it for years. Making a proper classic looking car.

[kh5744]

'they really need to re-design this car' blah blah. what idiots. the point is classic continuity (of the line's 30+ years) for conservative Japanese executives at the highest levels of corporate/governmental Japan. not flash for Euro-trash losers or wanna-be rap artists who grew up in some Euro/Russian housing project or slum somewhere. Euro-trash and Russians are welcome to buy the pieces of automotive garbage produced in their own countries, or they can always buy American automotive garbage

[vladgeler]

hello Yonifan. I appreciate the fact that you uploaded videos of such an exclusive and beautiful car. maybe you could help me with some info. it seems that the car from the vid is a lhd model. I even read there was a 5.2 litre version for the russian market only, but I couln't confirm this. Is this true or was the Century even offered as a lhd version? thanks in advance.

[Yonifan]

@vladgeler You got PM!

[bentleyv8t]

They really need to restyle this car.

[Michael3752]

@bentleyv8t Every time I look at it I automatically think of the defunct Rolls Royce Silver Seraph...

[mmutasim2]

@bentleyv8t It's perfectly functional the way it is. Plus,with its supreme comfort and extreme care given to details,the Century is almost 'perfect' in every way. Also,Japanese people,even high-ranked officials,are very modest and do not like to travel in flashy automobiles.

[espjuan]

How is this car special? It looks way dated, like a car of the 80's. Want a luxury Japanese car get the Lexus LS. Does this car have projector lights? GPS, LED, hydraulic suspension. Give me a new XJ from Jaguar.

[Yonifan]

This is not the perfect car for driver, this is the perfect car for co-driver...

[claudeleason]

@Yonifan You mean passenger?

[Yonifan]

@claudeleason

Yes!  ;-)

[INUMIMI28]

@espjuan Its got the 5 liter V12 that can function in 6cylinder when any of the other 6 is broken or damaged.

Its got state of the art GPS, LED, Hydralic suspension, massage seat, everything is hand build.

[ssj04]

@espjuan GPS? i get lost in car with gps all the time. map and your own knowledge of the road is a better gps than the so call gps system.

[syouyunokaori]

sｉｍｐｌｅ and beautiful line

[AtheistChaplain]

I would still buy a Bentley, at least a Bentley looks like it was designed post 2000 and not in 1975, and having driven in one I can say they are completely silent inside regardless of speed :-)

[TopGearYamato]

Sigh...

Simply the best looking car in the world..

[TopGearYamato]

Sigh....

[Mr2crazybyong]

Great work toyota! best car in the world!

[Maibach1778]

Im from germany and i work for Volkswagen but i never had seen a car that s build with this passion and Quality awsome. Shit of MERCEDES-BENZ

[Dafilopride94]

interesting car, top gear should test drive that

[Pnoerre]

Maybe Mercedes will learn his lessons and copy this

Toyota quality and style.

[Pnoerre]

Todays cars except this Century

touch and watch like bubblejet printers, made for desposal after some years of moderate use.

I cant and I wont live with driving an ink printer

[Pnoerre]

I am German, BUT I cant live any longer with todays plastic crap cars of our industry, Mercedes S and porsche 911 touch just like Ford Mondeos,

VW touch like Hyundai....

Watch the Rolls Royce it looks like gold plated Brick

All (!) cars except this LAST TRUE QUALITY japanese HYPERCAR Toyota Century lack massively value for the money...even if this Toyota would cost 1 Million Dollars it would be true value for the money...but watch a MAYBACh it looks like a pregnant whale and touches like shit

[Yonifan]

Not official !

[cc201135]

OMG the car was hand build

did they export these car?

[homerojc]

discrete but elegant

[advcongroup]

I guess Frank Lloyd Wright would have loved it! What can be better than living in a Wright house and going around in a Toyota Century?

[xatu21]

i love the century!

[lim11111]

Best car n the world

[BT3354]

Why do they have a golden chicken for the hood ornament?

[megamicruise]

This ornament has the imitation the Chinese phoenix who is the god of the

legend of China.

Name is 鳳凰(Fènghuáng).

[Pnoerre]

Because this nice car was made for the CEO of Mac Donalds you moron :)

[crazychrisva]

I always thought the Japanese made better cars than the Europeans.

Japan has a great reputation for taste and class. They truly follow the saying that less is more in their homes, gardens, etc. A total lack of tackiness.

[Maltseff]

It is bigger than W221, Lexus LS, A8 and 7xx. And better.

[coreydl2008]

It needs to be just a leeeetle big bigger ;) lol

[Maltseff]

It is bigger than W221, Lexus LS, A8 and 7xx. And better.

[coreydl2008]

That's because it's a different type of car. Those cars are smaller because they aren't chauffeur cars. The Century is.

[Maltseff]

Well I would argue that LS, W221 are most often used as chauffeur cars, + most of the comfort is for the passengers if rear seats. Think they are all chauffeur cars.

[coreydl2008]

You can argue that, but they aren't. People who get driven around dont buy a Lexus. The S-class perhaps sometimes is, but only in the longest wheelbase format.

[Maltseff]

Probably... but in my country most of this cars are chauffeured. Especially S-Class and the new LS. IF you want to drive smth cool yourself, you would normally buy smth like CL63 etc... imho

[Nr1959]

correct. After reading so much and having seen this movie clip a couple of times I bought on - the predecessor to the shown model. Excellent choice and great to drive

[Brabbelbratz]

Century IS THE BEST CAR EVER MADE! THATS a real wondermachine--love it ;)

[Yonifan]

No! The price is approx. $ 130.000.

[Hao420]

In fact Japan,dis Saloon ride comfort and smooth than any of the eurpean car.

[Kranbone]

Great video, great car. One word sums it up "Craftsmanship". Personally I'd still rather an S Class Mercedes Benz or Lexus LS.

[Toyota4Life]

All i can say is wow....Bentley and all other EAT YOUR HEARTS OUTS!!! This is a real car....gesh i would love to have one...this is a car fit for a king...this makes the s Class or even the great Lexus LS look like play toys... not even maybach can touch this....

Great Job Toyota..best car in the world

[Yonifan]

An Other engine, an other transmission and so on. And you are thinking this would be an other version of the LS...?

[tosleeptodreamtowake]

This is, literally, a really, really nice version of a Lexus LS. It might even be more reliable than and outlast an LS (which is almost unrivaled).

[iee4g6]

A 100,000 dollar Toyota... Nice.

[kutchrd]

there you go,the best car on earth,does not cost the earth,well done Toyota.

[aldaloo3]

And Thats A Real Car!!!!
