Two brothers would compete as they grew up to see who could swim the furthest into a Great Lake that spanned the horizon before getting to tired that one would have to give up and start to swim back as they ran out of strength. One day, the younger brother, who always lost to his older, stronger, brother, challenged him to one last contest. The older brother laughed in his face but accepted the challenge. As they got further and further into the seemingly endless horizon of water, the older brother, shocked, gave in and had to turn back. Back on shore, the dumbfounded older brother asked, panting with fatigue, “How did you finally beat me?” The younger brother smirked and said, “I never planned on turning back, my goal wasn’t to save strength for the return trip, I was committed to making it across the whole lake.” Century

I find it admirable that the Century was released in 1997 and did not change anything to its design until 2017. In 1997 it still fell under the gentleman's agreement so power was lower than competitors and capped at a theoretical 276hp. While the Rolls and Maybach are both a product of the innovations of past 2000 and were not restricted by an agreement and thus have powerplants with way more power, but also way more weight. I'd love to own a Century one day.

Rolls Royce was created to simply be the best at everything luxury...and in the early days of the automobile, quality - including bullet proof reliability and long term durability - was core to the company's DNA. But over the years, it seems that styling and luxurious materials have gotten a far higher priority. In the real world, Rolls Royce reliability after a few years on the road is absolutely horrific.

Great video with tons of jokes and high jinks from these two. I will say this, the Toyota Century looks nice on the outside. While those cars look like they are falling apart on the inside. I wish they let Carsten talk about the Maybach. As a sub-brand under the S-class, I'm more interested in that one!

@henrichandrew Жыл бұрын
Despite of lack of nowdays technology and engine capacity than those two, but Toyota Century still can kick their ass for the first one to two seconds in the beginning of the race 😂. As I know Toyota Century not focus on performance, but on smoothness and ultra comfort..because this car was made for the royal family of the Japanese Emperor (the 1st and 2nd Gen Toyota Century). It is the only and one V12 powered Japanese Car. And unfortunately, the 3rd Gen Toyota Century has stop using V12 engine, instead of V8 Hybrid engine. And anyway the 2nd gen Toyota Century is also used in Netflix's Umbrella Academy as their official transport car in that movie.

I didn’t have any doubts that the Maybach would win this challenge, but i have to say, the Century is awesome.
I wish we could have seen inside of the Maybach during the race. I just feel they brought it to see how badly the other two would lose against it. And we would have been able to see how the interior compared to the other two after 15 years.
