The second-generation Century (1997-2017) was the The second generation Century (1997-2017) was the first and only Japanese production car to be powered by a V12. It was the "first and only car..."!
Today, I’d like to introduce you to a second generation Century that has been used as the exclusive vehicle for the chairman of a major company…
It is a 2009 model GZG50, serial number 0008674….
As evidenced by the fact that it has only traveled 28978km at the time of the interview, the jet black mirror finish is as beautiful as a work of art, and there is not even a hint of a defect in the interior, exterior, or engine.
In the 20 years that the second generation Century was produced, from 1997 to 2017, the total number of units produced was only 9573. 8674/9573, there is no doubt that the value of its existence can be conveyed through the craftsmanship and artistic expression of the master craftsmen.
The first generation Century, introduced in 1967, was equipped with a V8 engine, and the third generation Century, the current car introduced in 2018, has shifted to a hybrid V8. The V12 engine in this second-generation model was originally designed and manufactured by Toyota for the Century and is the first and only V12 engine to be installed in a domestic car.
Continuous and unchanging success... A design that has remained unchanged for more than half a century since its birth...
The Century concept, which means “continuous and unchanging success,” continues to be supported by customers who are eager for it.
“It’s all about the back seat…”
This unique Japanese car’s meticulous attention to the rear seat is first evident in the ease of entry and exit.
The door opening is kept as low as possible from the floor, and the height from the ground to the top of the opening is raised by 70mm to ensure sufficient head clearance and comfort for tall VIPs….
Once you get in the car, you’ll realize that Century’s unique “consideration for the back seat” is truly beyond description….
The seats with massage function can be reclined, and the center of the front passenger seat can be folded so that the legs can be put forward, creating a space similar to that of a first class airplane. In addition, the soft-close mechanism of the electric doors allows the doors to close completely and silently when the latch contacts the striker.
The exterior of the car is also full of this “hospitable care”, and you can see the texture in the photos of the car, it is so moist! The mirror finish with a texture like a layer of lacquer, a traditional Japanese craft technique, is truly beautiful…. The color name of this piece is “Kamui Eternal Black”. The color name of this piece is “Kamui Eternal Black”, and it is actually painted by hand by a skilled craftsman. In addition, water polishing is carried out by hand, and this is carried out up to seven layers.
The typical “hospitality consideration” of the engine is to deliver the dignitaries to the destination in time even if the engine is broken… For this purpose, the intake system such as air cleaner, electronic throttle, various sensors, fuel injection, fuel pump, and other systems are installed independently for each of the six cylinders on both sides. In an emergency, the engine system can operate with only one of the six cylinders….
The highly rigid body, multi-layered sound-absorbing and sound-insulating materials, and wind-noise-reducing exterior are all for the rear passengers.
Although the Century is regarded as one of the quietest cars in the world thanks to its state-of-the-art technology, it was built using a method that is quite the opposite of the “ultra-rational manufacturing philosophy” of ordinary cars as expressed in the Toyota method. It continues to support “the people who ride it….
If something goes wrong, we fix it...! Lovingly kept by the current owner... 2009 Toyota Century...
The owner is a collector of classic cars….
In several fully enclosed garages in the prefecture, he has carefully stored and managed a number of neo-classic cars, each of which has been in service for many years…. There are so many of them! However, all of these cars are kept in good condition as you can see in the photos and videos.
“As you can see in the photos and videos, he keeps his collection in very good condition. He told us that he looks at his collection with a lot of love, and if necessary, he can ask his doctor to get the past repair history….
Please take a look at the 50 photos and detailed video to see the current condition of this Century…!
The owner, who is very friendly, said with a smile, “I’ve never had any problems with this Century from the past to the present,” as he keeps it in his fully enclosed garage. Looking at the condition of the car, we felt that the owner must have made an extraordinary effort to preserve it, and we felt that this was the best chance to fully enjoy the precious V12-powered second-generation Century.

The Mercedes-Benz of the royal family, the Dimler of Her Majesty the Queen, the Rolls-Royce of such high dignity that it makes you straighten your collar… There are many great cars in the world with high dignity that express the life of the driver….
There are many great cars in the world that express the life of the driver.
It is the crystallization of the meticulous Japanese consideration.
“Handmade by skilled craftsmen and the crystallization of cutting-edge technology…! Powered by the world’s highest quality and Japan’s only precious V12, the second generation Century wears an aura of overwhelming reliability…”

We hope that you will come to Gunma, where there are still many good quality cars, to “see the best that touches your heart”.
