STORY

The Century is Toyota's ultra-luxury flagship limousine, introduced in 1967 and traditionally reserved for Japanese royalty, executives and dignitaries. Built with painstaking hand craftsmanship, it long used exclusive V8 and later V12 engines. It embodies conservative, understated Japanese luxury rather than overt status.
