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

They need to use Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit without Mybach for real test

[@arizonacolour8793]

Bro what 🤨😆

[@hiratiomasterson4009]

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.

I have to give it up again to James what a special and unique car! Great choice!

somehow, i loved even more that century.

[@fkmiran]

そもそもロールスロイスとマイバッハはアウトバーンを視野に入れて作っているが、センチュリーは日本の狭い道路と、ほとんどの場合100キロを超えることのでき無い高速道路などの道路事情を考えて作られている事からこの結果は当然

[@codexonline9915]

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.

[@JB-ie9hj]

I owned new Holden’s here in Australia all my life and in 2019 I purchased a new Toyota V6 Camry SL .This car is just the best car I have owned superbly built and the V6 so smooth it is a credit to Toyota .The salesman who used to sell me the General Motors Holden cars lives near me ,I said to him I only have one regret with the Toyota and that is I didn’t change to Toyota many years before 2019 .

[@Seraphim_RV1]

In 1997, when the second generation "Century" was released, Japan was bound by the "280 horsepower regulation", and although it was equipped with a large displacement 5.0L V-type 12-cylinder engine, the maximum output was only 280 PS. If it had not been for this "280 horsepower regulation", it would have been no less than Rolls-Royce, Maybach, and Bentley.

[@higurro]

I wonder if the Maybach could have won towing the Rolls? 🤔

[@julioangel1839]

That century is surprisingly fast

[@poppys33d]

Missed the opportunity for a great line, - moment in the RISING sun, - not just any sun. :D That Century is awesome.

[@mrlilmatt123]

Ahhhhh, that familiar *BMW chime* - Thanks BMW for your comforting tones...

[@amloray]

In 2004, the maximum engine horsepower was regulated by law in Japan to 280. Incidentally, the current engine has 431 hp. And even that is not far behind the other two.

[@AbrahamArthemius]

That's because that "law" is just a Gentlemen's Agreement between all Japanese manufacturers. They just said to the public it all has the same number of horsepower even though they actually made more if they put in on the dyno. Hell, there's even another Gentlemen's Agreement on the small Kei car world (64hp) even though some of them does produce a little bit more than that.

Toyota Century looks amazing, i love that car, maybe some day i'll buy one 😍
