   The Toyota century is a large limousine , it is a four door vehicle mainly for the Japanese market, it served as a Toyota’s flagship car. The production of the Century vehicle began in the 1967and in the late 1997 car received a complete redesign, between that period there were some minor changes. The Century received it name from the 100th anniversary of the birth of Sakichi, Toyoda, who was the founder of Toyota Industries. In the beginning century was only available with V8 engine from its production in the year 1967 and it is now available with a V12 engine.
   
   The new 1997 model although seemed pretty similar to the old one, but this new current model was powered by a 5.0 litre V12 engine which initially had a 5 speed automatic and also 6 speed  intelligent transmission. It also features air suspension. The Century remains first and the only Japanese front engine, and also rear wheel drive production car which is equipped with a V12.
   
   The Century was Toyota's most luxurious model at its inception in 1967, and maintained this status throughout the 20th century. Today, it is positioned above the Lexus line-up, and remains the most luxurious and prestigious model to wear the Toyota badge. The Century is distinguished by different paint options than the rest of the Toyota line-up. The price of Century is Yen 11,445,000s which is approximately US $100,000 in the year 2009. Century although lies in the luxurious cars category but there are still some modifications which are required to compete with the likes of Maybach or Rolls-Royce.
