@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.
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.
@@tariqtvproductions If you’re planning to buy it new then yes, you need to pass Toyota’s interview as well as some background checks but you can buy used one freely just like any other cars. If you want the V12 2nd gen like one in the video just hook up with JDM importers and they’ll get you one.
Toyota century is the next big jdm only Japan exclusive that will be available for import to America in 6 months frome now. the only v12 Japan car built , has alot of history and is considered a Japan legend thats not known world wide yet. Only 10k built frome 97 to 2016 so makes it a rear car also. Will skyrocket in price I reckon. Still cheap atm so get in fast.
The Buick Century is the envy of the automotive world. After all, it was "proudly made in the USA"! Just think of the advanced technology of that car, not to mention the sophisticated styling.;)
The Buick century is a good car in its own world. Bulletproof 3800 V6 also supercharged on higher trims. The build quality is typical American but it's fairly reliable and comfortable to drive. The Yota century on the other hand is just pure perfection and sophistication while flying under the radar.
The unfortunate thing about this car is most people would think its another cheap Toyota luxury car - and as an owner you would need to explain what its all about for them to understand its high pedigree.... all because it doesn't have a BMW or Mercedes badge.. Ironic really as it's better quality than those marques!
I saw one of this in Australia a few years ago. It unsuspicious to normal eyes, but I saw that and was shocked by how the ride just ironed away the bump of the road.
@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.
That beautiful wood is sources from Yamaha piano department. Luckily enough, my 92 ES300 (5 speed manual) has it around the gear shifter and ashtray area. Genuine Yamaha piano wood.
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!!!!
They tried to offer them for export in LHD, only a handful were sold. The export/LHD program was a costly exercise for Toyota, hence why they did not offer the following generation 2018- G60 outside Japan.
Rolls-Royce has BMW technology. BMW is not so reliable as Toyota and especially this handcrafted Century. That's the reason why he is better. But okay, the RR has far more gimmicks and maybe the better chassis.
We often see it driven by yakuzas out here lol yeah it's badass that I want too but kinda too expensive to own. The car itself is pretty much cheap as a clunker, though. Still a quality car.
А зачем она вам ? Вы же не царь.Я могу себе такую позволить,даже в последнем покалении,но не стану покупать так как там больше половино функций не работает
Century is not simple luxury car. Century is "HIGH Availability Car". Therefore, it is nonsense to compare the century with Lexus and any other cars. For instance, let's assume that ECU broke. But, the V12 engine is controlled by independent right and left ECU. In a word, it is possible to run with another side(6 cylinder) engine . So, Century means "HIGH Availability" and "HIGH Quality".
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.
List of luxury cars of Each countries: America: Lincoln and Cadillac UK: Rolls-Royce and Bentley Germany: Mercedes S class, Audi A8 and BMW 7 series. Korea: Genesis And last Japan: Century, Infiniti, Nissan President and Lexus.
@Jonbjn I cannot give you a real answer. Maybe a Japanese driver will tell anything about this. But a V-12 cannot be cheap. On the other site this car will not have so many electronic problems like te other high class cars.
The only mistake i believe they did was choosing the wrong iteration of the pheonix.Had they choosen something more like Saint seya pheonix it would have add to the car
LHD Century are mostly for overseas Japanese embassies~ (By the time some idiot governments, like Taiwan and some Arabians, "required" Japanese embassies not to import and use RHD cars anymore)
No matter how Japanese manufacturers try, they never gain that what is called Noblesse)) Rolls-Royce, Jaguar, Bentley, Daimler, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and no others allowed in the Luxury Sedan Club))
Because they are thought of as imitators and not originators, which is true in a sense. Of course, by "imitating", they left the originators in the dust a long time ago, but it's very difficult to change a stereotype
oh I understand exactly what you mean about nobleness my 1997 jaguar XJ6L only has 41,000 miles absolutely fantastic car inside and out the only trouble with it is it would break down all the time with 41,000 original miles it left me stranded on the side of the road more than you can imagine it’s in the shop right now again because it won’t start no bonus yes no bonus for taking your money and leaving you stranded on the side of the road not to mention at 41,000 miles the weather started cracking on the driver seat poster I have a 1996 Buick Park Ave. that has 75,000 miles on it currently I

not break my grandmother has an 04 LS 430 plenty of power just as big as my drag just as fun to drive just as comfortable and luxurious if not more the weather is still in great shape especially on the driver seat ball strain no tears and here’s the best part it doesn’t leave you with the constant worry that it might break down on the side of the road and parts might be on obtainable and not an expensive to repair yes three eights or more a little bit more expensive to repair than the V6 is when it comes to those cars because you have eight more cylinders but they really if I have a break and I think the quality is much better on the Lexuses and the Japanese luxury cars than any European luxury car for example one day I was getting out of my Jag and I turned the headlights off and the headlight switch fell off onto the ground beside the car and this is a car that only had 41,000 miles on it it’s still not do you know why because it does not move under its own power right now because of the body control module and the immobilizer they both went kaput as beautiful as it is the reliability and craftsmanship fit and finish quality is very poor I think I’m going to sell it

reliability issues and the repair cost is a whole lot more lenient if it ever does break left the thing about the LS 400 specifically the early 90s model there is one Lexus LS400 from the early 90s

To buy this car, it actually requires special interview and examination from Toyota to see if you are an appropriate person to buy one.
Is that true? If I wanted one built new to take home to the UK would that be possible?

This is not the perfect car for driver, this is the perfect car for co-driver...
That's because it's a different type of car. Those cars are smaller because they aren't chauffeur cars. The Century is.

Surprised to see one with leather interior, as it's always considered to be a "no no", due to the noise it makes.
Quite a few were optioned with leather, mostly for livery or hire car use, as it wears better than wool velour.

No, the car has only this V-12 engine since any years. The older Century's had have a V-8.

when century sold in hong kong, toyota was say either one side ecu/ engine down, the engine can still run.
Does dealers receive the order of buying the Century or Do I order directly with Japanese Toyota ?
Visit www.batfa.com/new_car_toyota_century.htm as it offers this car for sale and for exports also..
