The startup is truly the most majestic noise ever

[@rameezahmed3637]

I always love startup motor's noise on V12s, almost always identical and iconic

[@69-avec-ta-soeur]

So true, most of the V12s have this high-pitched starter sound, makes me shiver.

Cant wait to drive my own century, waiting for her to arrive here soon. Fell in love with it since i was small, and now i finally bought one.

Waking up a V12 it’s something very special. This car in particular it’s amazing.

[@aleksanderstojanovic55]

Ive never found much information about this cars performance other than hp and torque, after a year i thought to myself, maybe there is a KZbin video about this car And then boom, this video uploaded 30 mins ago 😂 Thank you for uploading this

[@binoymathew5413]

Wonderful video, something I had been really interested to know, the rpm when cruising. I note that the 2008 Lexus ISF, also a 5 litre, but V8 with 8 speed auto, cruises at around 2000rpm at 120kmph, 1500rpm at 90kmph, 1250rpm at 80kmph. The power and torque figures of the ISF is much higher, but the rpm is higher than the Century 5 litre V12, for the same speed of cruising (even at the highest gear). Shows the excellence of the V12

[@duskshel8119]

God, this thing is quiet, even off the limiter.

[@take2wheels556]

Smoothness of the ride is what's more important trust me.I have an 86 Toyota Century with 41,000 miles.I could care less about the acceleration.So quiet and smooth. I've driven everything from Porsche 918s to Rolls Royce.These cars are as smooth as a Rolls and actually quieter.I bought my car as a daily driver everywhere I go people stop and talk to me about the car.I had no idea it would get this much attention

[@pac1fic055]

When you have this much class you want to accelerate slowly and majestically.

[@emmareporter4324]

i do love a good luxury barge like this

Scare your council with v12 acceleration as he adjusts the electric rear seat, watching Raid the movie in the back

Road surface is wet. Well shouldn’t have to worry about traction being an issue.

A Century with a 1000 + HP 2JZ could be the japanese answer to the Brabus Rocket !

[@annastazialove2361]

How come this car is so slow compare to the s600 v12

[@Roddy_Zeh]

The 1GZ-FE engine has smaller displacement and it wasn't built for performance, but mainly for superbly smooth power delivery and reliability. But it's got tons of potential. Smokey Nagata installed one in a Toyota Supra and added two turbochargers, plus a few other things...and it's got about 950 hp. Hartley Engines from New Zealand has a lot of aftermarket support for this unit too, and some of their builds go beyond 1,200 hp and 10,000 rpm (!!!) in some drift cars. Amazing project.

All of these tests and measurements are wrong! The speedometer of cars is not accurate. You need a GPS performance meter to measure true acceleration. By the way, This car is slower than a 40 year-old E32 750i!!!
