Toyota Century vs Rolls-Royce Phantom vs Maybach 57s // DRAG & ROLL RACE
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 лип 2022
- The 2004 Toyota Century (~$30,000 in Canada as specced, ~$22,000 in the US) is a V12 powered Japanese luxury limo. But whilst it may have some charm, its not exactly alone as a luxury big displacement barge. Thomas has brought along a 2005 Rolls-Royce Phantom (for sale at CAD$159,999) and a Maybach 57s (Value ~CAD$100,000) to show James what 2000s Luxury limos are really capable of. We hope you enjoy the episode! Thanks for watching! SUBSCRIBE!
Thanks to Amedeo DiCarlo, Criminal Defense Lawyer and his driver Mike for lending us the Maybach.
Thanks to Nawab Motors for letting us feature their daily driven Phantom!
And to James, for just being handsome and letting us borrow his one of a kind, creme da la creme Century. And for writing this description.

Moral of the story, when you see a luxury car going super slowly, it means the car is broken not that the driver is classy and mature.
LOL🎹🎶
Nah, it's in limp mode. LOL
And when it's a pick up truck going fast it means the owner's p*n*s is in limp mode.
@@KP-xi4bj Basically any bmw driver who's driving below speed limit and using the turn signals
@@shivamarya5225 No.
“I’ve departed”
“I’ve arrived “
Gotta love Thomas😂😂
Shit was hilarious
"oh my goodness that's a lot of paa"
@ 5:11 it was funny the way he was like “how about we try a Rolls” when asked if he wanted to “Roll race” by the Centry driver 💯
Japanese luxury cars are solid built, The Century, Majesta absolutely wonderful
And the calculation is absolutely fair! Compare the Nissan GTR with a Lamborghini: The Nissan costs ~100'000 und the Lamborghini ~250'000$. But the Nissan is the same as good. Maybe better. Is'nt it a good feeling to pay the purchase prise to serious people?
@@bernhardtsuballa5341 Because the Japanese are realists, if you want a vehicle for 200.000Euro then you get a Nissan Patrol or Toyota Landrcuiser with armor...And you have more comfort and luxus in a Japanese Vehicle than in a Bugatti. Bugatti is only a high speed car...
Nissan Gloria, Toyota Crown and Honda Legend are also wonderful. The Japanese have so many car models, it is like Anime Series or Movies without end xD
@@bernhardtsuballa5341emmm no? :D
That engine check light on RR is going to be very expensive drag race 😂😂
never know it could be something very minor a diy fix
@@rscosworthfan it's rolls royce's V12 engine back when they didn't use bmw engines, you need to open the whole car even for a small fix and it'll take more than a week to put it all back, there's a reason why they had to sell their car business
@@shivamarya5225 i know this im not disputing that at all
@@shivamarya5225 this is a BMW engine. It’s the N73 engine. This was the first RR to be built under BMW ownership. The final model of RR built under Vickers ownership, before being brought by BMW, the Silver Seraph used a BMW engine too. Rolls Royce stopped using their old V8 in 1998.
For a 175 hp disadvantage to the rolls the century did a great job
Well it also weighs 500kg less
Yep, it was 1,000-1,500 lbs lighter than the other two. Not to mention Toyota may have underrated the power output.
@@EricFortuneJr. It is a little underrated due to the gentleman's agreement. The actual power is estimated to be about 300-310 hp.
Who needs power when you have luxury? 😀
The Rolls obviously was suffering BMW disease and wasn't working correctly.
I just love classic luxury barges. No intention of sport, not trying to be aggressive. Just born to devour miles in complete comfort
Yet two of those clearly, as can be seen from their plates, are owned by insecure backwards narcissists to project their egos.
@@pistonburner6448 Completely possible. My comment was towards the cars themselves
@@alexmercer8042 Yup, you're completely correct as to what those vehicles were actually made for.
Well, I do think the Maybach has a bit of 'sport' in its high horsepower number and a bit of attempt to be aggressive in its appearance, just not aggressive in a sporty way but the Rolls Royce too was designed to look aggressively imposing.
@@pistonburner6448 57S yes, definitely its trying to be the "sporty" one. I think that 62S with its size and complete inability to steer is the chauffeur oriented.
I just love farting
Let's just appreciate the depreciation on that Maybach 57! They were nearly 400K USD brand new, and can pick them up for under 80K! 😳
People who can afford them, usually have expensive clothing and only worn once and done so they don't like to buy used cars, then said car processed to get bought at a major discount by upper class
@@tacticalplayer6337 Then you have people like Jay-Z and Kanye chopping one up and making an awesome music video like Otis with it, and would be just as valuable as this Maybach. 😎👍
yeah but the maintenance costs.. horrid, so it's "80k" with maintenance costs of a 300k car
@@roboticvenom1935 A Maybach is just an S-Class with a fancy badge. No different to Lexus and Toyota or Acura and Honda. 😎👍 You just tell them it's for an S65. 😎👍
@@MafiaboysWorld lol that crap is not awesome
トヨタ・センチュリーは基本設計は1997年、25年も前の車ですから。
それなのに、加速で勝ってるのは驚き。

@@SaintNyx says it with a grumpy old man voice
@@MisterTorgueHighFiveFlexington I was imagining an old school Yakuza boss.
Would be interesting to see what Akio Toyoda’s personal Century would do, since it’s a 1-of-1 GR Century.
Now that's really interesting. Especially when they can invite toyoda himself with his GR century as a gift for throttle house
@@TheWahyuwirawan what makes you think that
@@TheWahyuwirawan why would Toyoda himself give it to someone else?
@@MAKII724 just lend it for an episode not literally giving it completely, and would be cooler if toyoda drive it himself (he's a racing driver too) with his own and only GR century. That would be an epic battle and one of the best throttle house episode
@@ethanbillig8511 simply because in the other side of the world, after 25 year law, there's a guy who use and praise the century as it was built for and making several episodes about it (how to get it, drag race), people love it and know about century existence. That guy is from throttle house and would be epic if toyoda himself bring his very own GR century to join an episode with throttle house, drag race with other luxuries available on the market as a gift/appreciation
You really do forget how quick the Maybach was!
I love that Century. I would literally take that Century over both in Maybach or the Rolls-Royce any day
Touché
It’s simply a classically beautiful design
No you wouldn't
There's also the fact that it's the only affordable one for me.
@@bobbyantrobus1805 for an engineering perspective you might wanna take the Toyota century over the other 2, the century has a V12 engine but it's possible to disable half the engine and just run on 6 cylinders, those 2 other cars don't have that feature
The Century Looks gorgeous
Ikr 😆👍🏼👍🏼
It has that classic look
It really does and I want one.
Best paint I’ve ever seen on any car. The door jambs are painted to the same standard as the rest of the car.
Absolutely
Surprised at how well the century did considering its lack of comparable power. It has a certain elegance to it, give it enough time and it will be worth more than those two...
You'll be waiting a very long time! The one universal constant in the car world is that people will pay much more for a shiny badge than a good car.
The maybach has the amg v12 from the first paganis. It wont lose value if kept well
Give it a little more time and only the Toyota will still be running.
@@rayhann8626 Depends which country. Here in the UK, you could slap a BMW badge on a donkey corpse and people would sell their children into slavery to have it. On the plus side, it means anything non-German is often a bargain!
@@rayhann8626 very true
Toyota Century stands out in a league of it's own! 🤩
Just by not including the Maybach in the whole review actually makes this clip superb because it confirms the Maybach to be at it's lonely ultimate level.
"so turns out I had a traction advantage because I have no power" hahahaha LMAO. That made me laugh so hard.
That century's look....... AMAZING AND TIMELESS
hence the name
I think you'd like 1989-1994 Toyota Celsiors
The BMW Rolls Royce looks tacky.
センチュリーは今もかっこいい
@@op7bz7tx2c はい、センチュリーは遅いけどめっちゃかっこいい過ぎる。12.000RPMにあったら、一番いい自動車になることができました。
The RR might be the most luxurious car, the Maybach the most luxurious AND fast car, but the Century is in a class of its own, and if I had to decide, which I really want, it would definitely be the Toyota Century !
Cool story boomer
Love the stop action finish line photos, touch. Always appreciate the honest commentary with a dose of humor. Keep on keeping it real guys.
The fact you can pick up a toyota century in the uk for £12,000 is just insane to me.
That's a steal, if you can read some basic Japanese it's livable.
And with that they've all just appreciated by copies amounts.
Only Throttle house would do a race like this 😅💯.
Lovely to see how the maybach performed.
And Carwow if they could 😭
@@malwallace3041 They could, but presentation would feel sterile compared to TH
Mercedes is the best
@@malwallace3041 carwow is kinda shitty
@@B.Piercesports wrong Japan is, know your place
The two of you are what got me through COVID and the rest of 2021! Seriously always funny and entertaining.
Extra kudos must go to Toyota Century owners for having a truly unique car. It might be a common thing in Tokyo, but anywhere else in the world it is a unicorn.
Even then, it’s exceedingly rare to see one outside a major metro area. I saw TONS of them, mostly the newer models, in Ginza where it looked like some c-suite geezer and his family would get out and go shopping. But, out in the ‘burbs like in Setagaya, you almost never saw them.
Dubai must have quite a few.
Carson has shown why arriving to an event in a Rolls-Royce is so special. That Century though shows you will arrive on time every time.
That Maybach will be waiting for you both to show up after making several stops along the way for snacks and fuel.
I am surprised i didn't feel the geometry of the earth changing with the drag race
You must be a flat earther.
I really can't get over how beautiful and classy the Century really is.
Pure gold.
James, you reminded me of a good story that I’ll try to keep short, just for you.
Two brothers would compete as they grew up to see who could swim the furthest into a Great Lake that spanned the horizon before getting to tired that one would have to give up and start to swim back as they ran out of strength.
One day, the younger brother, who always lost to his older, stronger, brother, challenged him to one last contest. The older brother laughed in his face but accepted the challenge.
As they got further and further into the seemingly endless horizon of water, the older brother, shocked, gave in and had to turn back.
Back on shore, the dumbfounded older brother asked, panting with fatigue, “How did you finally beat me?”
The younger brother smirked and said, “I never planned on turning back, my goal wasn’t to save strength for the return trip, I was committed to making it across the whole lake.”
Century
Gattaca!
Cool story!
Century FTW. I was actuallly surprised how well it short tracked
I feel like LIMP mode might be triggering to most RR owners😂😂
I dunno, most of them have walking sticks 😆
You mean anyone who has BMW engine car 🤦🏾♂️
It might be known as flaccid mode in those circles
I would have loved to see more of that Maybach. I still feel like it's underrated, not as much as the Century ofc, but, you know, it's still the best Mercedes could propose in the noughties...
I enjoyed this video WAY more than I thought I would and probably should’ve lol. New sub!
Toyota Century doesn't need to win a drag race to win my heart.
Watching this drag race after the F1 race is like a metaphor. Maybach being the Redbull (started slow but is the fastest), Toyota being the Mercedes (Slowest of the three, but reliable) and Rolls Royce being the Ferrari (does not finish).
For 2022 season. Yes!
on point
funny thing is. maybach is mercedes lol
What engine is the Redbull ??
The Centry is low-key impressive. You could glide across the USA in that and know you will comfortably reach your destination. It reminds me of the land yachts the American auto manufacturers one built with pride.
We could build stuff like this if we wanted its just japan really takes it seriously it earns respect the hard work what they accomplish. Stuff like this is up our ally youd be suprised how many craftsman could fill a small batch contract for a particular part. They have 25 year import bans you can tell there is a lot of powers trying to control what we can buy when we can buy it if we can even buy it at all. It certainly makes one think would it be worth it if we went through the trouble to try to beat the deal of the century.
Hilarious! I love this. Great production and highly entertaining.
Keep up the good work.
“To finish first, first you have to finish!”
- A Toyota Century owner, probably.
That century might not be the fastest car but surely it's the best one
Luxury cars are meant for smooth comfortable ride not for speed.
@@theshield1613 the issue with a slow luxury car is like you’ll be late for the business meeting that you gotta race to your private jet
@@a1phamalestud being late? those people should be working on their time management.
@@a1phamalestud if you could afford these cars pretty sure you could afford a supercar, why pick a slow big and soft limousine when you can drive a supercar when knowing you're gonna late?. Alpha is right time management is key
It’s what goes into the production of making the car. That’s what you need to have an appreciation for. I have so much respect for Toyota now, the German stuff just keeps changing the sprinkles, same substance underneath!
Didn’t expect to see a Rolls Canardly: Rolls down hills but cannardly get up them 😂
I didn't expect the Maybach to outweigh the RR Phantom but hey you learn something new everyday. I guess that's why they had to use the old W140 S Class chassis because the W220 chassis was too weak.
Wow that tells it, doesn't it, they took the W140 frame because it's stronger. Mercedes W140 V12 is best car ever.
You should have another drag race. How long it takes to go through each car's maintenance record. 🤣 Quietest drag race ever.
There would be a lot of screaming and cursing lol
@@lominero5 like golf, add up the maintenance costs and who has the lowest score wins. I just have a lot more interest in the Toyota than the Rolls or Maybach. I would love to have a JDM car but having to badge into the parking garage becomes an issue.
@huge asian x petite white and I dou t you can go on the internet withough being a giant douche canoe
Century can keep working when
half of cylinders has trouble. Change fromV12 to V6!
@@user-vv5om8fs4v wow that's amazing!
This is the race is what we needed.
Toyota Century having a NA V12 is to keep the ride "elegant" at all times
Id like to see under the hood. How well built are those deep sensitive parts no one wants to think about
9:42 hahaha "BUT.. have you tried our fish and chips!" =D This whole video was a super chill edit, you guys are killin it!
It's amazing how the rolls still looks so modern
Cars look modern based on the design. For instance a Mercedes w124 doesn't look as outdated when it is sitting next to other cars of the same era with a 20 year newer car is next to them.
"You get what you pay for"
Do you? I would 100% take the Century.
Yes you do. With the Century you pay for the best workmanship possible. With the others you pay for a nice retrim on a lower brands' big car.
Not even a contest. Rolls Roys and Maybach are both known for terrible reliability. I would take that Century every time.
@@Nikephorus lol what era of Rolls Royce are you talking about? They’re pretty bullet proof now, over 60% of the Rolls Royce’s ever made are still on the road today.
@@Nikephorus Uh, not RR. They're actually quite reliable.
@@Nikephorus RR? I didn't read much about that can you tell me more?
The Rolls-Royce went into BMW mode.
😂😂😂💯
Lmao yeah
Turns out the apple doesnt fall far from the tree ehh?
BMW Mode do you mean that it has to go directly to the workshop?
@@antreaskonstantinou8585 what does Apple have to do with this They didn't have a car in the race 😁
The bantering in this video is top notch
Lol the thumbnail with James doing the old high school football team-photo trick of pushing your biceps out when your arms are crossed to look more jacked 😂 respect.
Dude, the Century held up. I’m surprised and have enforced my reason to buy one!
That century has the same HP as a 3.5L 2013 V6 Honda Accord
@@ferdinandaddo9544 it just need a tune and exhaust, and itll dust that accord by a mile even if the accord has the same tune and exhaust, ever heard the v12 supra by top secret?
@@ferdinandaddo9544 As much as I love the Honda J35Y1 engine and trust its capabilities, it can NOT compete against the headroom of the 1GZ-FE V12, because of its sheer displacement and cylinder count. You can tune the 1GZ-FE to the moon and back and it will smoke most fast cars out there without breaking. That J35Y1 will lose a good bit of its reliability on the other hand if you push it too far, because it is already being pushed quite a bit.
Almost had one for $2k once, but California emissions laws would have made it cost $15k to import. Bloody communism, I tell ya.
@@SaintNyx damn, that sucks
Great drag race just like always !!
That Century looks DOPE man😍😍😍
guys this has been your funniest video, I Loved it. I literally lol'ed multiple times and my wife had to check that I was OK.
Mercedes needs to bring back the Maybach brand as its own brand and not as a trim level to the S-Class. It could be great enough to stand with Bentley and Rolls
the maybach as a trim level is a thing because the other thing lost them a huge amount of money.
🤣
They *need to bring it back? Did you consider why they had to drop it as a unique marque in the first place? They only made 2 cars and most people weren't buying them. It "could be" great enough to stand with Bently and Rolls? Obviously, it wasn't that's why it was discontinued.
It didnt sell because even when it was “bespoke” it was still basically a fancy S-Class. They need to make it its own unique and very distinguishing brand.
They did and their sales got clapped by rolls and were loosing money.
2:02 Clearly, 10 skillful craftsmen spent over 30 days shaping the rare and exquisite wood on that steering wheel.
And then some inconsiderate previous owner destroyed it. What kind of person treats their car that way?
There's a saying, Handmade in Britain means the car has problems from the factory
I've seen people swap in that engine from the century with individual throttle bodies and it is glorious
Love that this show is in my home province. Great show guys
Never really watch the drag race videos but I'll gladly watch this one lol
Whenever I see the interior of that Century I'm transported to videos of Japan 😅💕 And in that sense that is like the most JDM car ever, and even though the other cars are "More Desriable" I think I am falling in love with the Century just from seeing your videos! ❤️
Hey guys, any chance you guys could do a review of the new refresh of the AT4 GMC? I would interested to see TH’s perspective. Love the videos gentlemen! Keep it up 👍🏻
You guys are AWESOME honestly CANADA Stand up!! Your the first car show on here where the hosts in some cases actually overshine the cars in question, very entertaining guys, amazing channel guys, definitely gained a subscriber 🇨🇦
I haven’t see the race yet and my favorite one is the CENTURY! There’s something in that car that many love it.
5:28 Thomas: "Foot down!"
Rolls Royce: "If You Don't Remember, I'm an Old BMW Sir"
So funny how that 'brung' chime is on everything from old Rolls to new Supras..haha
Honestly that Century is beyond amazing
Yes! Battle of the Barges ‘22
This channel is so fun to watch.
somehow, i loved even more that century.
Love your channel
I had a '91 Lexus ES250 and felt like a goddamn princess. I can only imagine the Century.
A princess
This was easily the best way to start my Sunday! Thank you throttle house
😁 I was early today. Always love ur reviews 😊intros is just thoughtful
Ahhhhh, that familiar *BMW chime* - Thanks BMW for your comforting tones...
What corner of what planet of what galaxy have I been living on?
This is my first introduction to your great channel - I need to stay in more...
Subscribed on humour content alone...alright - guilt alone, really.
Completely entertaining….Thank you!
You guys should consider doing more of these "silly" drag races. Top-tier performance demons racing is one thing, but you miss a whole lot of potential for hilarious quirky nonsense like in this video.
I'd like to see a cheapo drag race. What's faster a Chevy Aveo or a Toyota Yaris?
I fenpl
It’s so cool watching the way the Maybach flies away with the camera inside james’s Century.
They need to use Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit without Mybach for real test
Bro what 🤨😆
Loved the video
That was the most useless but interesting drag race I've ever seen. Thanks for that
I'm a bit disappointed we didn't hear anything from Carson I suppose he was so far ahead in the race he had no time for the little people.
He's a mute, or at least plays one on video
Toyota Century FTW! It's more than adequate. Costs less to buy. Way more reliable. I know which one I'd buy! These cars are not exactly subtle or understated, they all look high end for being as old as they are. The Century pulls it off beautifully. Disclaimer: I'm a Toyota fan boy! 🤣
Missed the opportunity for a great line, - moment in the RISING sun, - not just any sun. :D That Century is awesome.
The century did really well for having half the power
I was surprised to see not one, but TWO Toyota Centuries driven in the third season of Umbrella Academy!!
Given the only other car in the show is an old Rolls, I'm guessing someone at the production team is a car nut
I was more interested in the most polite drag race ever than I thought.
That Century though! 😍😍 That's Toyota engineering perfection for ya!!
Hit me not up!!!!
The Rolls isn't broken that's just a feature to prevent the chauffeur from disturbing his passengers with poor driving. Like its horsepower rating, the Rolls determines 20 mph to be adequate.
I would've loved to see a 100-0 emergency stop from these 3 😂
I have a Century and I don't want to 😅 Brakes are terrible behind those tiny 16".
You watch too much CARWOW my friend🤣🤣🤣
If the rolls could even make it to 100
The Maybach will absolutely dominate, huge 6 piston calipers up front and there are 2 brake calipers per front wheel!!! The Germans knew that something in the 5k pound Wright range with 600hp needed sheer stopping power!
@@12pagani Mmmmmmm... you should'nt think that most of the employees at Mercedes Benz are Germans. (50% of all people in Germany are immigrants or they are childrens from immigrants.) But you can be sure that cars Made in Japan are produced by Japanese!
Good effort for the century. I still want one.
Century is so cool. When the Rolls is lovely, its British, when it fails, it's German.
Love the videos
The Spirit of Ecstasy sensed that you were *racing* a Rolls Royce and provided Divine Intervention.
😆
Loved this!
I wanna see more century videos 😍😍😍
I LOVE the luxurious plush materials of the seats in the Century. That's true comfort, not the vulgar sticky terrible leather that European manufacturers deem luxurious simply because it costs more.
Love that Toyota Century more
James, you've made the right choice, reason we buy a used limo is reliability and most importantly cost of ownership..
I'd take the century any day of the week, absolutely beautiful car retro looks understated and made with love and care .
Wow, never been so early to one of your videos 😎
That century is surprisingly fast
30 years old and I'm starting to think that my childhood dreams of a phantom drophead may be plain bad....
I still can't get enough of you guys. Lol
