Too bad that front end conversion is hideous. All that money, you would think that the owner could have gotten a hood that has a straight front and not still cut for supra headlights. I hate that... so much....

[ATK_Designs]

wow, talk about balling out of control.

"That owner" would be the one and only "Smoky" Nagata and this beautiful car would be the winner of the 2007 Tokyo Auto Salon Best of Show. I guess you're the only one who "hates" his amazing creations.

The Century received a complete redesign in 1997, although the new model was visually very similar to the old. This current model is powered by a 280 PS (276 hp/206 kW) 5.0 L 1GZ-FE V12, initially with a 4-speed automatic, and then a 6-speed "intelligent" transmission. It also features air suspension and a factory LPG gas option, enabling the 2-ton car to be classed as a low emission vehicle (edit* LPG option could not be confirmed from Toyota). The Century remains the first and only Japanese front-engine, rear-wheel drive production car equipped with a V12.

The Century was Toyota's most luxurious model at its inception in 1967, and maintained this status throughout the 20th century. Today, it is placed above most of the Lexus lineup in Japan, and remains the most luxurious and expensive model to wear the Toyota badge. The Century is distinguished by different color options than the rest of the Toyota lineup.

Like other cars in the top of the luxury class, the Century is designed with a chauffeur in mind. Hence, the rear seats recline and the front passenger seat has a fold-down center section so that a passenger in the back may stretch his feet forward. The exterior door handles open the doors electrically since the sound of the door being opened mechanically is perceived as being "too obtrusive". The doors do not need to be closed directly, instead the door only needs to contact the latch, causing the door to pull itself completely closed electrically.

The vehicles interior is usually ordered in cloth, not leather, due to the aroma of leather being less desirable and not as quiet as cloth when sat on. The vehicle can be ordered in any color the purchaser desires, however, the favorite colors are usually medium brown, burgundy or royal blue with black exterior paint. White lace curtains are usually installed in the rear window, instead of tinted windows, which are perceived to attract unwarranted attention. The passengers usually like to be seen in a Century, despite Asian tendencies for modesty.

The Century is priced at ¥11,130,000 or approximately US$94,500 (as of 2007). In comparison, the base price for the ultra-luxury 2008 Lexus LS 460 is approximately ¥10,000,000 (US$87,000), [1] with the LS 600h L at ¥15,000,000 (US$125,800).

Although the Century is not exported outside Japan in large numbers, it is used frequently by officials stationed in overseas Japanese offices.

In contrast to other luxurious cars (such as the Maybach or a Rolls Royce), the Century has not been positioned and marketed as a sign of wealth or excess. Instead, the Century projects an image of conservative achievement. Marketing literature states roughly that, "the Century is acquired through persistent work, the kind that is done in a plain but formal suit." This image drove a good deal of the 2nd generation design as a traditional and tasteful update of the original.

Yeah everything topsecret builds is ridiculous, my favorite is the tt v8 g35/skyline they built....

[MaconPerformance]

That car is beautiful..... Topsecret has always had great rides.

I agree with the other guy. Smoky does some amazing work to cars, but the front end is hideous. The swap is amazing, but its kinda how ricers put a different front end on their car that isnt even the same make and it just doesnt even look right. But other than that, the car is immaculant

[00CelicaGT]

amazing top secret always puts out great and unique cars.

[vi3tbodianxc]

danm that sh*t iz tight

[drtyhatch]

geebus!!!

[speedminded]

I'm gonna take a wild guess but i'm betting that engine is designed around mating two supra straight/inline 6's...just like the V8 Radical using 2 hayabusa engines or better yet and most commonly the BMW V12, essentially two 2.5L straight 6's sharing one crankshaft.

[man]

Ugly ass car. Nice motor work though.

not exactley!

well since this car was made to do top speed trials... the front end probably looks like that (a wedge shape) for the purpose of downforce since top secret makes all of their body kits aerodynamically functional...

I didn't say I hate the car as a whole.. the engine setup is sick.. What I DO hate is when people leave the headlight cutouts on a hood on a conversion... On that hood you can see that it was originally a supra hood. Happens all the time, and I hate it... people could at least take the time to square off the corners of the hood.

And by the way, I could give a **** who owns the car or what trophies it has or hasn't won. The hood irritates me, end of story.

[YokotaS13]

and no, i hate it itoo
and i saw it in person
