Toyota Century

2018 Toyota Century
Poking around, I come across a story about some guys working on an old Toyota Land Cruiser with a Toyota V-12 engine. What? A Toyota V-12? Really? I've heard of Toyota (of course), and I have heard of V-12 engines, but I had never heard of a Toyota V-12.

Seems the engine comes from the Toyota Century, a limousine built for the Japanese market. Originally it had very low power output as the goal was to be smooth and innocuous.

The strangest part is the weird bird emblem that comes with it. It it ever shows up on a car built for the American market you will know that the Japanese have won the war.
