Toyota Century (second generation, G50)

Automobiles

The Century received a complete redesign in April 1997, although the new model contained similar design cues to the previous generation, and it was installed with a Toyota designed and built V12, an engine bespoke to the Century. It was initially equipped with a 4 speed automatic until a 6 speed intelligent transmission arrived in 2005. Toyota began limited official exports of the G50 to Europe and Asian markets including China and the Middle East in November 1998. The second generation was discontinued on 4 February 2017.
