The Toyota Century was launched in 1967 to commemorate the 100th birthday of Toyota founder Sakichi Toyoda (the grandfather of Akio Toyoda). The first generation Toyota Century was modified based on the Crown Eight of that year and was equipped with a V8 engine. By the second generation of Toyota Century, launched in 1997, the model numbered G50 had switched to the 1GZ-FE V12 engine across the board, which was also the only V12 engine in Japan. This 5-liter engine is not used in other models, it is only used in the Century. Hong Kong people are more familiar with the Toyota Century, starting with the G50 Century, because the first Hong Kong chief executive, Mr. Tung Chee-hwa, used this car as his car. It is also the only Century officially imported through a Hong Kong Toyota agent. This time, the Century that Sir Long and Edmond Lau tested drove was a car produced in 2000. Although it was not the most classic design of sandboard rear mirrors and steering column gear lever, the V12 engine was equipped with a four-speed automatic transmission. When everyone Although they thought it was a backward product, Sir Long and Edmond Lau liked Century's mechanical configuration very much, and were even more surprised by the quietness, smoothness and rich torque performance of this 5.0L 1GZ-FE V12. Look at the workmanship and materials used outside and inside the car. There are no gold or jade or colorful things, but there are very simple and extremely serious workmanship. From this, you can see that Japan's most popular cars like the Toyota Century Top passenger cars and luxury sedans, how do the Japanese view the meaning of luxury culturally, and how do they present Japanese-style luxury in cars that represent the national level, including the ride feel and driving method. This is a rare test drive, because the third-generation Century has switched to Lexus's V8 hybrid engine, and the Century SUV also uses a V6 plug-ing hybrid engine. To witness the only mass-produced V12 engine in Japan, you must experience Japan in the 1990s. It seems that a head-of-state car can only be achieved from the G50 Century.
