I had the privilege of riding one of these when I visited Japan. I was in a land that I had always dreamed of going, but due to my small grasp of the Japanese language, I was at first overwhelmed. I was in the suburban outskirts of the city, all alone, and I needed to be there at a certain time. I was so anxious and couldn't figure out the metro at first glance, and I had a lot of luggage with me. I said "screw it" and hailed a cab, and then I saw the most beautiful car I had ever seen.The chauffeur(yes, even though they operate as taxi drivers, they presented themselves with a humble prestige) stopped and greeted me and although my destination was far, he agreed to take me without a reluctant or snarky remark. Sporting a tuxedo with white gloves, he basically glided me through the city to my hotel. The journey was around a half an hour, but within that drive, all of my uncertainty and second guessing went away. The price of the trip was expensive, but it was well worth it. Then I bought a shitton of hentai at Akihabara.

The yakuza boss riding in the back of this car doesn’t have a couple of dead hookers in the trunk. He has the government minister that he is about to blackmail bound and gagged. The minister doesn’t struggle, lest he scuff the carpet. As the car rolls through downtown Tokyo, every cop makes a point off looking the other way...

[@aserta]

No. The minister is sweating in the seat near him, unbound, ungagged. Silent, and meek. Why do you think there's wool in those seats? The car just rolled in front of his house, the door opened, and through the open portal, he can barely see the profile of a man in traditional, but expensive clothing.

It was Toyota's take on RR level car.

The BMW 760 Li does the same a lot of the V12 cars can do that it's nothing new nor special and the crazy thing about both of these cars is the engines are so quiet and smooth if one bank does fail you won't feel it until you put the foot down and wonder why it has no power.

[@thehamachekco9132]

@@HimmelWeint - Even the older E32 750iL with the V12 M70 had this redundancy back in the mid-eighties. Two MAFs, two distributors, two fuel pumps, etc, etc. And so true, if a bank went down just a light and reduction in power but it was not shaky or anything.

[@JohnSmith-wx9wj]

Makes since. You don't want the principle to be hampered in any way.

[@nthgth]

I would think with the BNWs at least , that was more a practical matter of how most of their engines are inline sixes so this was a lot easier than developing a whole new ECU program and connections for a V-12

The Century V12 is such a perfect luxury car that it is a car brand itself. I have never seen such a humble ultra luxury car in my whole life. And the value for money is absolutely mind bending.

Literally was thinking today, after watching countless rare Toyota car reviews, an RCR Century review would be pretty dope right about now since they made one for the modern Crown. It's 4am, man. RCR coming in CLUTCH with that upload. Thank you for keeping me awake and educating me more about my favorite cars, from my favorite brand!

[@Chris_Wald]

I am usually a german sort of car guy, but this car is truly amazing and in great taste

[@techmage89]

Chris Wald This car is a modern version of what Mercedes were like when Mercedes were *good*.

[@Chris_Wald]

techmage89 I totally agree I own a low milage 1999 Mercedes and love it. The 2017 C class (I usually drive) isn’t that special compared to the 1999

[@sadiqwahid1480]

I noticed you were so enamored with the Century that even your tone of voice was noticeably more subdued and restrained than usual. This car has a powerful effect on you, as it does on me. "The Century is acquired through persistent work, the kind that is done in a plain but formal suit." I mean GODDAMN that's some hardcore subliminal marketing right there!

[@TheOnlyJohnRupe]

that transition from the front seat to the back seat was awesome

[@samuelariza5455]

That white Celica gt4 at the start 💖👌

[@oldfrend]

tell me they're reviewing that O.o

[@bluesmokeboy6370]

I can confirm they're reviewing that

[@joeboykitz6985]

Roman hitting us with that FF9. The feels.

[@MetikalMan]

That is one of the best engine sounds I’ve ever heard.

[@Qpwoeiritu1019]

great video. the very few if not the only detailed century review i found and actually understand.

[@RuinedVoyage320]

This is the car of my retirement dreams that I never knew about until now. Always awesome, always thankful for your quirky education. Thank you Mr. Regular.

[@fportobr]

JESUS EFFIN' CHRIST!!! I just can't believe you guys had the chance to try this beast! I have such a fetish about this car... it's luxury in its purest form! Classic looks, wool and smooth V12 power, what else a businessman could ask for? Greetings from Brazil!

That sounds absolutely amazing.... btw I'm so happy to see you guys at almost 500k subscribers. I subscribed around 25k :)

[@dvddmc]

what a great engine noise. none of that backfire or rev popping that sounds so annoying pure engine sound

[@yukiotakata]

SMOKEY NAGATA from top secret put this engine with two turbos in a supra. go look for it is insanity on wheels.

[@Tomfissh]

I recently saw a 1987 model of this for sale in my state in Australia for $55,000. It looks absolutely identical to this 2006 model. I just find this totally incredible how faithful they have kept the manufacturing of this car to its original.

[@felipejoselecaros3265]

This review is something else even for mr. Regular standards. Great everything. Thanks so much!!

[@idiottv6499]

Sounds like a whole Yakuza squad arriving to strike a deal with your equally criminal supervisor.

[@acerudy5815]

Just brought a 1997 century. And it's amazing . Get them while there still cheap

[@josephkelly4893]

The feet pass through gave me a physical sensation I can’t describe, pure indulgence

[@tuwarapyoo5511]

Nice touch with the song at the end, Engine sounds amazing!

[@traxnada]

NZ allows imports on any cars... Those cars are inspected and have to be FREAKING perfect though... The smallest bit of rust somewhere and it will be denied registration... They can go as far as stripping out the entire thing to check panel gaps which have to be within factory specs. There are no notion of rarity as to what can or can't be imported there though...

[@kylesoler4139]

traxnada yeah we get crappie ass granny cars here. This is nice af compared to what I see on a daily basis.

[@jamiepeterson5646]

That's as long as they can pass crash tests and emissions though, otherwise they have to be imported as a Special Interest Vehicle, and there's a limit of 200 per year, which do have to be collectable and rare.

[@Minibull037]

traxnada Not so much anymore. Cars must meet emissions and crash standards now, so no more cheap 90s sports cars, or at least its a lot harder now. There is a certain clause regarding rare or desirable cars, something to that effect.

[@traxnada]

Hum, interesting... I export cars from Japan for a living and only dealt once with NZ, very recently actually... Car was a Cappuccino which you guys had in very limited numbers from new in NZ... Not sure if that original availability made it different than say a R32 GT-R...

[@Minibull037]

traxnada It may well do, but I'm honestly not too sure. I understand why they enforce this now, our fleet was extremely old and dangerous, still is but great cars are getting cheap here now. It's not all perfect at the border too, my car managed to sneak through a couple years back with no cats or anything, just straight piping with o2 sensors

[@Ahkmedren]

was that intro tune from FFIX? i never stop finding more reasons to love this channel.

[@charliecroker7005]

Heard one minute of that commentary, and clicked Subscribe. That is a record.

[@pepper0075]

I was waiting this moment for years.

[@alexanderdergachev4822]

Felt like I had to comment on it, I just love how understated this car is, just a type of a vehicle somebody who does not need to prove anything to anybody would possess. I would still get a Phantom over one of these, but that’s because of my image-obsessed ego. It partially reminds me of M760Li and Audi A8 W12 though, which both have the engines from their higher-ranked siblings (Rolls-Royce Ghost and Bentley Continental) and are loaded with equipment yet maintain relatively restrained appearances and traditional bodies, both in a way similar to Century (considering the fact that S8 is actually W12’s faster SWB sibling with a V8 while they are only LWB). Actually, would love to see Mr. R’s reviews of both of these cars.

[@ThePineappleKnight932]

I was gonna go to bed, then I saw an RCR video, ok, no big deal, watch it in the-*it's a Toyota Century.* I had to watch it right this instant.

[@mackay820]

That exhaust sound is straight savage. I was not expecting that note.

[@gabrielmalta1962]

The V12 sound... It changed me. The way it sounded sent chills down my spine, and my body trembled a little. I always knew that V12s are quite something. But this is... Special.

[@kevinchen9800]

Hey RCR! Come over to Australia, you can review my 06' Crown Majesta! It's shares many traits with the Century but it actually handles well! :)

Subscribed because of this Century review. 👍🏽👍🏽❤️😎

[@ElZamo92]

I could only think of one word to describe this car: SUPERB
