V12 limousine
In the world of luxury cars, vehicles such as Mercedes-Benz S class and BMW 7 series tend to be front of mind, something backed up by the solid local sales.
However if you really want something different, you should turn to Toyota and its Century V12 limousine. Though never imported here by the factory, there are a few examples getting wround in Australia.
This was famously Japan’s only V12 for couple of decades, until the powrplant was phased out in favour of a V8 hybrid in 2017. We can’t help thinkling the loss of bragging rights was tragic.
Behind the 5.0lt 276hp engine in this example is a six-speed auto.
Inside, the cabin boasts every imaginable luxury, including features focussed on the rear seat passengers that you won’t find elsewhere.
