The Toyota Century is higher than Lexus. This is (as of filming) the greatest car I have ever driven and ridden. A fantastic IGz V12

    I had the privilege of riding one of these when I visited Japan. I was in a land that I had always dreamed of going, but due to my small grasp of the Japanese language, I was at first overwhelmed. I was in the suburban outskirts of the city, all alone, and I needed to be there at a certain time. I was so anxious and couldn't figure out the metro at first glance, and I had a lot of luggage with me. I said "screw it" and hailed a cab, and then I saw the most beautiful car I had ever seen.The chauffeur(yes, even though they operate as taxi drivers, they presented themselves with a humble prestige) stopped and greeted me and although my destination was far, he agreed to take me without a reluctant or snarky remark. Sporting a tuxedo with white gloves, he basically glided me through the city to my hotel. The journey was around a half an hour, but within that drive, all of my uncertainty and second guessing went away. The price of the trip was expensive, but it was well worth it. Then I bought a shitton of hentai at Akihabara.

    The yakuza boss riding in the back of this car doesn’t have a couple of dead hookers in the trunk. He has the government minister that he is about to blackmail bound and gagged. The minister doesn’t struggle, lest he scuff the carpet. As the car rolls through downtown Tokyo, every cop makes a point off looking the other way...

    No. The minister is sweating in the seat near him, unbound, ungagged. Silent, and meek. Why do you think there's wool in those seats? The car just rolled in front of his house, the door opened, and through the open portal, he can barely see the profile of a man in traditional, but expensive clothing.

    The Century V12 is such a perfect luxury car that it is a car brand itself. I have never seen such a humble ultra luxury car in my whole life. And the value for money is absolutely mind bending. Of course it might be dated by today's ultra luxury car standards but who cares. It is the ultimate cruiser/tourer car.

    Felt like I had to comment on it, I just love how understated this car is, just a type of a vehicle somebody who does not need to prove anything to anybody would possess. I would still get a Phantom over one of these, but that’s because of my image-obsessed ego. It partially reminds me of M760Li and Audi A8 W12 though, which both have the engines from their higher-ranked siblings (Rolls-Royce Ghost and Bentley Continental) and are loaded with equipment yet maintain relatively restrained appearances and traditional bodies, both in a way similar to Century (considering the fact that S8 is actually W12’s faster SWB sibling with a V8 while they are only LWB). Actually, would love to see Mr. R’s reviews of both of these cars.

    Wait a second. 350ft-lbs of torque where? 4 hundred RPM? Do you mean 4 thousand?

    When I lived in LA I saw Jackie Chan driving his Century around. Understated and classy at the same time.

    The V12 sound... It changed me. The way it sounded sent chills down my spine, and my body trembled a little. I always knew that V12s are quite something. But this is... Special.

    This car reminds me more of 2nd-Gen GAZ Chaika than anything else. That's a car I'd like to see Mr. Regular do, but yeah, uh, good luck.

    No trolling. It’s a stereotype simulacrum of a high-powered, never hears no businessman. He’s into fine art and autoerotic asphyxiation.
