The only production v12 out of japan (1GZ FE)

Japan is known for many great engines, I mean when you really think of greatest engines ever quite a few of the enignes you will think of is japenese, to list a few the RB26, 2jz, Sr20 DETT, F20C Te list goes on and on, but you see 1 thing all those engines have in commen is the fact that they came out of sports cars, well the engine we are looking at today is coming out of 2 and a half ton luxury sedan.

This is the Toyota century, I know what you are thinking. That thing looks fast, and you would be wrong. Its actually quite slow reaching 60 in 7.6 seconds and she went on to a top speed of 149mph. But this video isn’t about the century, rather its beating heart. You see under the hood lies a 5.0 v12

So this V12 wasn’t really designed for speed more for being able to cruise along at speed with out struggling. Its go systems like being able to switch of one half of the engine and only running on one bank to save fuel, its just not a race engine. Or is it??
