Toyota Cooked Up A Century GRMN And We're Exploding With Excitement
Cars don’t get much cooler than the Toyota Century. Yes, the new one may have ditched that wonderful V12 for a hybrid V8 powertrain, but it’s retained that brilliantly different approach to luxury that makes the likes of the Audi A8 and Mercedes S-Class seem over-complicated and just a little vulgar.
But we need to brace ourselves, as the Century is about to get even cooler. Because it seems as though Toyota is cooking up a hot GRMN version of the car. Oh yes.
The Tweet below - which features a couple of spy shots - was actually sent out nearly two weeks ago, but it seemingly went unnoticed by Western automotive media until Jalopnik picked it up on Tuesday.
Details surrounding the car are still incredibly limited, although a one-off Century GR was built last year for “market research” purposes, Car Sensor reported at the time.
The car in the Twitter images is clearly badged as GRMN rather than having the lesser GR designation on its grille, so who knows, perhaps we’ll end up getting both.
Keep those fingers crossed…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Screw the train, I’m running faster than it
as if anybody here can afford it
I read that as “Toyota cocked up” at first.
Same.
One word: Bippu
Perhaps there thinking of selling the type in Britain? Seeing as German luxury cars might become over expensive or unavailable. #benefitsofbrexit
*they’re…..I wish I knew how to grammar.
If this thing comes over here im so gonna buy a used one of them
What if it has a hybrid v12???
How cool would that be.
Toyota doesn’t currently produce I6s, so that would be quite difficult to do
Oooooooh
If only the U.S. got them. But noooooo. We don’t get cool shit. Pumphrey’s words are echoing in my head right now.
Nobody in the US would buy a Century because Americans have a bad habit of judging a car solely based on its badge. Which is why the VW Touareg never sold here because “VW is a cheap brand”
Why aren’t these in America. I want to see one so badly
Because
Ermagerd I want
