Overview
- Japan’s Mag X reports an electrically assisted, twin-turbo 6.0-liter V12 for the Century Coupe with claims of roughly 800 horsepower, a rumor echoed by multiple outlets.
- Coverage indicates the coupe would use Toyota’s E-Four all-wheel drive and either an eight- or ten-speed automatic transmission.
- One theory suggests creating the V12 by combining two BMW 3.0-liter inline-sixes from the Supra, a notion several reports view as unlikely.
- Toyota is positioning the production model as a limited, ultra-luxury rival to Rolls-Royce and Bentley, with U.S. sales expected through select Lexus dealers.
- Outlets expect the striking concept to evolve into a more conventional four-seat car with toned-down SUV cues, with reports pointing to a possible 2027 production start.
