High-brow stuff with a V12, factory air suspension, and quality unlike any other.
It's a car made to move those born into power – and obviously you want a bit of that.
Are you a foreign dignitary?
Didn’t think so. But, if you want a slice of the high life, or want to ride as the Emperor of Japan did, then this 2005 Toyota Century is the car for you. They’re built with a quality that’s literally fit for a king,
If you’ve been around the block and owned a few unique things yourself – you’ll appreciate what a Century has to offer. On top of layers-upon-layers of factory paintwork, there’s a fine-grade Japanese leather interior, four heated, electric, and massaging seats, and even an extension for the rear passenger to lay their legs flat through the seat in front.
Don’t forget to raise the windows. Aside from all that razzamatazz about build quality and amenity, the Toyota Century is still a modern marvel. It’s powered by Toyota’s only V12 engine; and as you’d expect, it’s smooth and bullet-proof.
It also rides on primo air suspension wafts and conjures a sense of occasion each time you drive.
It’s fun, different, and you’ll undoubtedly make a splash wherever you go in it.
The car pictured – 2003 Toyota Century V12
Our Toyota Century was built in July 2003. It was purchased from USS Tokyo as a Grade 4.0B car with two previous private owners.
It’s powered by a 5.0-litre naturally-aspirated V12 engine dubbed ‘1GZ-FE’ with 206kW of power and 481Nm of torque. It uses a four-speed automatic and is rear-wheel drive.
Of the 8,881 GZG50 Centurys that Toyota ever built, only 581 were ever painted in ‘8M3 – Light Greyish Blue metallic’. It was also configured with side mirrors and a leather interior.
Aside from heated and massaging seats everywhere, there’s climate control air conditioning, air suspension, traction control, multiple airbags, ABS, a digital speed readout, and more.
