Signaling that separation is an extravagant car that, curiously, doesn\u2019t even have a name. It\u2019s also unclear whether we\u2019re looking at a concept or a production model, though it appears to be somewhere in between. The lavish coupe borrows the SUV\u2019s<\/a> dual-headlight design, but that\u2019s where the similarities largely end. It\u2019s an imposingly large machine that feels like Japan\u2019s answer to the Rolls-Royce Spectre.<\/p>\n While Rolls-Royce\u2019s coupe is fully electric, the Century\u2019s hood vents suggest the presence of a combustion engine. For reference, the sedan<\/a> uses a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V-8, while the SUV employs a plug-in hybrid V-6. Don\u2019t get your hopes up for the return of the V-12, which Toyota offered only on the second-generation Century sedan from 1997 to 2017.<\/p>\n Photo by: Toyota<\/p>\n The standalone Century coupe features a four-seat layout with a yoke-style steering \u201cwheel\u201d and a refreshingly compact, smartphone-like infotainment screen. A central ridge bisects both the front and rear seats, while the lack of B-pillars eases access to the rear. Interestingly, the car has an asymmetrical door configuration reminiscent of the quirky Hyundai Veloster<\/a> with two sliding doors on the passenger side (left) and just one on the driver\u2019s side (right).<\/p>\n There\u2019s plenty to admire about the fastback-shaped Century, though the absence of a rear window is perhaps less endearing. Then again, it\u2019s still a show car and won\u2019t reach production in this exact form. The final version will likely tone things down with conventional doors, mirrors, and B-pillars.<\/p>\n Toyota remains tight-lipped about when the car will go on sale, but makes it abundantly clear that the Century represents the absolute pinnacle of Japanese luxury.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/16x9-tr.png\")
