Toyota Century vs Rolls-Royce Phantom vs Maybach 57s // DRAG & ROLL RACE

Рет қаралды 2,027,938

Жыл бұрын

The 2004 Toyota Century (~$30,000 in Canada as specced, ~$22,000 in the US) is a V12 powered Japanese luxury limo. But whilst it may have some charm, its not exactly alone as a luxury big displacement barge. Thomas has brought along a 2005 Rolls-Royce Phantom (for sale at CAD$159,999) and a Maybach 57s (Value ~CAD$100,000) to show James what 2000s Luxury limos are really capable of. We hope you enjoy the episode! Thanks for watching! SUBSCRIBE!
Thanks to Amedeo DiCarlo, Criminal Defense Lawyer and his driver Mike for lending us the Maybach.
Thanks to Nawab Motors for letting us feature their daily driven Phantom!
And to James, for just being handsome and letting us borrow his one of a kind, creme da la creme Century. And for writing this description.

Two brothers would compete as they grew up to see who could swim the furthest into a Great Lake that spanned the horizon before getting to tired that one would have to give up and start to swim back as they ran out of strength. One day, the younger brother, who always lost to his older, stronger, brother, challenged him to one last contest. The older brother laughed in his face but accepted the challenge. As they got further and further into the seemingly endless horizon of water, the older brother, shocked, gave in and had to turn back. Back on shore, the dumbfounded older brother asked, panting with fatigue, “How did you finally beat me?” The younger brother smirked and said, “I never planned on turning back, my goal wasn’t to save strength for the return trip, I was committed to making it across the whole lake.” Century

The Rolls isn't broken that's just a feature to prevent the chauffeur from disturbing his passengers with poor driving. Like its horsepower rating, the Rolls determines 20 mph to be adequate.

Toyota Century FTW! It's more than adequate. Costs less to buy. Way more reliable. I know which one I'd buy! These cars are not exactly subtle or understated, they all look high end for being as old as they are. The Century pulls it off beautifully. Disclaimer: I'm a Toyota fan boy! 🤣

Rolls Royce was created to simply be the best at everything luxury...and in the early days of the automobile, quality - including bullet proof reliability and long term durability - was core to the company's DNA. But over the years, it seems that styling and luxurious materials have gotten a far higher priority. In the real world, Rolls Royce reliability after a few years on the road is absolutely horrific.

@codexonline9915 11 ай бұрын

I find it admirable that the Century was released in 1997 and did not change anything to its design until 2017. In 1997 it still fell under the gentleman's agreement so power was lower than competitors and capped at a theoretical 276hp. While the Rolls and Maybach are both a product of the innovations of past 2000 and were not restricted by an agreement and thus have powerplants with way more power, but also way more weight. I'd love to own a Century one day.

Great video with tons of jokes and high jinks from these two. I will say this, the Toyota Century looks nice on the outside. While those cars look like they are falling apart on the inside. I wish they let Carsten talk about the Maybach. As a sub-brand under the S-class, I'm more interested in that one!

In 1997, when the second generation "Century" was released, Japan was bound by the "280 horsepower regulation", and although it was equipped with a large displacement 5.0L V-type 12-cylinder engine, the maximum output was only 280 PS. If it had not been for this "280 horsepower regulation", it would have been no less than Rolls-Royce, Maybach, and Bentley.

Reminds me of racing my friend who had a 1972 Gran Prix with a 454, while I had a 1972 Cutlass with a 350-rocket. Off the line I blew him away, right up until you got to bout 45mph, where that 454 finally kicked in and would take off. If you don't know, a Grand Prix of that year was a giant coupe, while the Cutlass of that year was a midsized coupe.

@@freespeech9590 in high school, just by chance, me and all my friends had '72s, in '92. I had a '72 Cutlass w/ 350, one friend had a '72 Chevelle w/ 350, another had the '72 Gran Prix w/ 455, and another had a '72 Beetle - he was a loser and no one really like him and his pathetic car. The other three of us would race all the time, in particular my friend with the Chevelle. Everywhere we went was a Dukes of Hazard episode as we lived in a rural area with a lot of dirt roads. It's amazing how much the early 90s, pre-internet, were still like the 70s and 80s.

I owned new Holden’s here in Australia all my life and in 2019 I purchased a new Toyota V6 Camry SL .This car is just the best car I have owned superbly built and the V6 so smooth it is a credit to Toyota .The salesman who used to sell me the General Motors Holden cars lives near me ,I said to him I only have one regret with the Toyota and that is I didn’t change to Toyota many years before 2019 .
