5.0L 1000whp, Twin Turbo, 6 speed, V12...
That V12 is the 1GZ-FE that comes stock with ~350 hp.
Kinda Ugly

What kind of engine is that? Surely Toyota doesn't make a V12 unless they did for F1?

This has become very interesting, made me do a search and found the Japanese page for the Century...wow what a nice ultra luxury car!
I wish I could read Japanese, for some nice pics here is the link:

I would love to get my hands on a Toyota made V12! Damn...that would be incredible as a twin turbo, maybe I'm getting in over my head...but how about a quad turbo?

lol, think the italians like the quad turbo more. a single turbo on any side would make ya smile.

you know, i was in a debate some time ago with my date, when we saw jesse james do a burn out with a bently and twisted the lower suspension arm in the process or was it some other part? anyway, my point was, if a car costs so much, then why cant it atleast survive a lil burnout? Dad said, the manufaturers and the owners both know that the possibility of the bently being used to do a burnout is so improbable that they didnt need to make the suspension so tough to withstand that abuse. wonder what the japs think since you can do a burnout with say atleast a toyota crown and not break anything as fast as the bently did.
