- In this episode, I share with you my thoughts on this 1999 Toyota Century.
Completely hand-built from the ground up, the Century is an ultra-luxury, super sedan designed for the Japanese Domestic Market. However, with a strict sales policy it was exclusively sold to only the elite of Japan. Powered by the iconic 1GZFE 5.0L V12, it is Japan's largest displacement engine and the only Japanese V12 ever produced. The Century is a vehicle that showcases the utmost of 90's Japanese engineering and craftsmanship.
Thank you to the owner Dodge:

swap the rolex for a grand seiko, and this vid would be perfect.
yhahah consumes fuel like a jet,, keep it for you gran babby
@@europeinvasion3057 so you want a 5L V12 engine that has high fuel economy?... Huh?... Engines in those caliber sip fuel like having water in a dry dessert
True
@@screamz3r089 unless if you can change it to diesel fueled engine 😅
@@Real_British then it would vibrate and shutter so much this thing is quieter than EV's and so smooth not a single vibration
Two important/super cool things about the V12 engine. It’s basically two 1JZ’s bolted together. As such it has a cool limp mode feature that allows the engine to run each bank of six independent of each other if something fails in one.
The interior wood grain panels were produced by YAMAHA.
All of them are real wood.
The curved shapes of the center console and rear armrest are wonderful. From Japan
Love the video, I often watch it while I'm waiting for my to become legal in the states. Just gets me more excited to get to drive it
Thanks lot Clay. Truly beautiful video for my Century.
Hi Dodge
Thank you for letting Clay show your car!
It was presented beautifully and it deserves it :)
Very similar to my 2009 crown Majesta but a touch less refined in some areas. Toyota Engineers are true geniuses and I will never go back to a falcon again
loved this one bro
One of the most classy and pleasant videos you make! Thank you
Keep these videos on cars like this coming Clay 👌👌
So glad importers have kept these, and so many others out of the hands of the exact generation that made them popular.
What a car! I love it! 🤤🤤
My wife and I stayed at the Hyatt, hopefully you got to meet Mr Walker, he’s the goodest boy
would be good to see a jzx110 either mark II or verossa soon!
no shouting in this one, nice and relaxed, beautiful to see.
Informative review conveying the essence of what the Century is about understated luxury for the discerning owner.
Hey Clay, question regarding that number plate. I noticed that it's all numeric. Is it a heritage plate enamel plate but transferred onto the Japanese style plate?
Scotty Kilmer brought me here lol 😂 Had no idea Toyota had a badass monster machine like this very cool 😎🆒
Amazing
Thankyou
🔥🔥
It screams yakuza
nice car mate.how many km ?
Yakuza/CEO Wong. 5:15 not sure this would be good idea if kids are in the back LOL.
A vehicle truly beyond its years. ( TOYOTA ) :)>>>
That’s gangster
definition of a sleeper lol
Let's guess how much these be worth in another 2 years ? I'm guessing a minimum at double wat the are now 35k for the 97-99 models.
This is cool bro! I’m planning to review one here in Perth soon😍👌
Review wars! East vs West. 😁 Love your stuff too Ross.
@@michaelvlcek1766 HAHA friendly rivalry id say😜. no love clays work keen to collab with him one day..
Please Do it!! We need more videos for these Classics:)
Would love to see some comparisons with the same year Lexus partners/brothers such as the LS400s & LS430s!
I’m just subscribed to you channel too!
Can’t wait to see it
Highly doubt there's only approximately 1,050 century V12's that exist claiming only 50 of them were produced a year. Maybe you were referring to the first model's ever built?
They made 9k I think 1400 in 97 alone.
Wow beautiful machine how much they cost in Japan ?
176,000 The U.S.dollars
do a watch collection video if you have one ! Nice hulk
YAKUZA
This is the first time ur not raising your voice in a long time hahahaha
I’d feel sorry for the driver with my feet perched up next to them.
Swap the exhaust like f1 car
Why drive a Japanese car through Chinatown? :-P
We don't have a Japanese town in Melbourne. They're are some Japanese restaurants in the area anyway. 👍
Is it true that only 50 were made in a year ?
This is not a 1999 model. Up to 2004, the Century featured a column shift gear selector (4-speed). 2005-on, it went to a centre console shift and 6-speed.
They offered a center console shifter in the earlier models too with the 4 speed automatic. You could get either or at the time when the v12 came out in 97
This is probably a 1999 car. It is definitely from before 2001 because of the aspect ratio of the front screen. These were overhauled around 2002. It's also a four speed transmission, the six speed variants had only sequential shifts and moved away from 3/2/L. It's also before 2005, because the brake lights are not LEDs.
